There are so many people that work hard to bring our amazing programs together at Base Camp, and it's important that we include staff meals for all programs. Staff are often working long hours and sometimes for days at a time, so we need to ensure they are fuelled with nutritious, tasty, satiating and most importantly, a variety of different foods.
In terms of food - typically the catering company (Red Pepper) takes care of Breakfast and Dinner for staff, Altitude provides Lunch, and Snacks need to be available in the staff tent to grab when staff are hungry. There is a fridge on site where staff meals and snacks can be stored.
For drinks - we encourage staff to bring their own reusable drink bottle and fill up from the large water bottles at Base Camp.
Determine final staff numbers to be at Base Camp during program delivery.
James or Operations Manager to determine a budget for all staff meals.
Once program staff have been confirmed, then we need to advise Red Pepper numbers for Breakfast and Dinner.
For Breakfast, Red Pepper tend to make extra breakfast items that staff can pick up once guests have had their breakfast. In terms of Dinner, Red Pepper will have specific staff meals available in the staff tent. Be sure to advise Red Pepper of any dietary requirements and budget.
Once program staff have been confirmed, then we need to include these numbers in the lunch order with Altitude.
Altitude tend to make extra lunch items (sandwiches and wraps) for Guiding Staff that can be picked up once guests have been handed their lunch order. For Base Camp staff, a separate platter of lunch items (sandwiches, wraps or salads) can be prepared and placed in the staff tent fridge ready for eating on a break.
Be sure to advise Altitude of any dietary requirements and budget.
Order snacks as part of the Coles order.
Snacks should include healthy and filling options such as fruit, vegetables and muesli bars. Snacks need to be available in the staff tent to grab when Base Camp staff are hungry. TBC - What about guiding staff snacks?? There is a fridge on site where snacks can be stored.
