Senior Center Dining Room Seating Policy

It has come to our attention that the practice of saving seats during the lunch program has become a problem for some of our program participants. In order to be fair to everyone, and to enhance the social aspect of our meal program, the following policy has been implemented:

  1. No seats may be saved before 11:30 AM, except on days where there is an appetizer table. The time on those days is 11:15 AM.
  2. When you check in for lunch after 11:30, you may save a seat for yourself and one other person.
  3. If you are expecting a large crowd (more than 4), you may make reservations to save those seats the day before at the front desk. If the people that you have reserved a seat for do not show up by 12:15PM, their seats may be filled by other diners.
  4. Seats may only be held by numbers available at the sign in desk .
  5. No one will be served after 12:30PM
  6. Weekend meals can be arranged for take home on Fridays with the Executive Director or Head Cook. You must sign up before Wednesday.
  7. Take out meals must be arranged before 12 noon and are subject to availability
