House Dinners

House Dinners are currently served four (4) nights a week (Monday-Thursday) for participating Musers. The current cook teams are:

Cost/Budget
House dinners cost $6/night/person, totaling $24/week/person. Money should be paid weekly (or as regularly as possible) via Venmo to An.

The budget for a house dinner is equal to the number of Musers present x $5 (e.g. a 16-person dinner would have a budget of $80). Money remaining in the budget can be used on kitchen supplies, bulk food orders, or extra house meals. These decisions are made at house meetings.

Receipts for house dinners should be clipped to the dinner board with a) date and dollar amount circled, b) name or initials written on it, and c) day of the week the dinner was served. Additionally, you should send An a charge on Venmo for the full cost of the dinner. Dinners are reimbursed via Venmo on a monthly basis.
