All Ducks team members are welcome to purchase and enjoy an item from a Ducks menu meal during their break at the 50% staff discount.  The meal must be purchased via a manager prior to the break and are subject to kitchen opening hours.

Contracted/full-time team members are allocated one daily ‘staff’ meal included in their salary package. This staff meal is not a selection from the menu and will be determined by the kitchen.  The kitchens may create a few select meal choices (or produce store items in Byron), please note, it could vary day to day based on the kitchen using produce on hand. Casuals can purchase the staff meals for $10.  All Staff Meals must be processed through the Point of Sale at the Venue, including kitchen meals.

Casual team members who do not wish purchase their meal at the venue are always welcome to bring food from home to eat in their allocated break time.

Eating:

No Food is to be consumed whilst on shift in any venue.  Staff meals and any eating permitted during your break time.

Due to health and safety risks, at no time is food that comes back from a customers table to be consumed by a team member. This includes event food that has come back from the customer’s table.

Event Food:

In the case where the chef catering for an event has leftover food that has not gone to a customers table and would otherwise go in the bin, they may allocate it for staff consumption. This will be communicated to the manager on duty so that they can provide it to the team during their allocated break time only.

Staff Beverages:

For all Ducks team members – You are welcome to one complimentary beverage per day including speciality coffee/tea or soft drink per day (no takeaway cups please), glass of wine (from the less expensive end of the range), beer (pints & premium beer not included), or cider.  Should you choose an alcoholic beverage, they are only to be consumed on-site after you have finished your shift and signed out for the day. Filtered water including sparkling is unlimited throughout your shift.  Additional beverages can be purchased with the staff discount at 50%.

*No cocktails or spirit mixes. Where we don’t have tap beer, then an inexpensive can of beer/cider.

Training sessions & tips

Training sessions – Apart from in-house sessions, these will be held mid-week in the evenings (usually with a glass of vino)

Tips – If you work within the venue you get a share of the tips, the whole weeks’ tips are added together and divided by how many hours you have worked.
