At the end of the night, be sure to return all glassware to the kitchen for cleaning, and place all waste in the appropriate receptacles. All Dedicated Desk members will be provided with a key to their lockable cabinet. It is the responsibility of the Member to keep valuables secure. All Hot Desk Members are required to tidy up the space they’ve used and leave it ready for the next member.

PRINTING + PAPER

When printing think twice before hitting cmd+P (or CTRL+P if you are in the Windows World). As nice as a warm, fresh laser print is, we want to reduce our impact on the environment. Members are allowed “unlimited black and white printing”. However, printing to should be kept to low volume runs. No printing of mass marketing materials (posters, pamphlets) is permitted. If you’re in need of large volume printing check with the Front Desk for some of our recommended print options in the neighborhood.

KITCHEN

While we may not all work directly with each other in business, the one area where we can pull together is keeping the common areas clean. Aside from the washrooms, the most important space to maintain is the kitchen/pantry areas. Please follow the following when it comes to using the kitchen:

• Rinse all dirty dish-ware before placing it into the washing bin.
• Place all waste in the appropriate garbage, recycling, and organic bins.
• Place a provided name label on all items being placed in the fridge.
• Each Saturday at 6 PM the fridge will be emptied of all food items. Be sure to take home your food and containers before Saturday night.

BEVERAGES

It’s important to stay hydrated, so we provide plenty of options for our members to do so. Coffee, Tea, and Water are all available to take care of your thirst quenching needs. While doing so we ask a few things:

• Members are welcome to consume all beverages on site.
• No beverages supplied by SproutBox are to leave the premises. This means not taking cases of product home.
• Members found to be removing the product from the building will be subject to enforcement procedures.
• Members will notify any of the SproutBox team of any issues with regards to beverages, such as nonfunctioning equipment, or low stock levels.
• All bottles and cans are to be placed in the recycling receptacles.
• All glassware is to be placed in the dish washing areas when finished with.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

SproutBox does not permit consumption of Alcoholic Beverages in the CoWorking Space. While at a Mixer or a Party that is organized, there maybe Alcoholic Beverages served, this is bound by the Licence requirement and permits from the Government. Independent consumption of alcohol is not allowed, and in a case, a member is found to be consuming alcohol or in an inebriated stage, SproutBox team may ask the member to be removed from the premises, and can in desperate circumstances even cancel membership.

In case you and your team are throwing a team party and would like to invite members for an evening that includes Alcoholic Beverages, it is recommended that you discuss with our community team, get the proper licence / permits, and then only serve alcoholic beverages in areas, that our team has specifically permitted/notified the Government Authorities.
