We'd be grateful for volunteers, ideally around the peak times of 11am to 2:30pm, but open to all offers.

The duties basically include chopping onions, cooking sausages, taking orders of white / brown bred, onion / no onions, directing customers to the ketchup and mustard, handling cash and the payment app.
