Overview
The Meal Sign In form is used to document meals provided during production. The Producer should prepare the form in advance with as much information as possible, and the 2nd AD typically manages sign-in during lunch on set.
Maintaining accurate meal records helps the production document that meals were provided and that cast and crew were accounted for during the workday. This supports both production organization and school oversight, while reinforcing the expectation that productions handle meal periods responsibly and consistently.
Instructions
The Producer should prepare the Meal Sign In sheets prior to production by typing in as much info as possible. Then on set during lunch, the 2nd AD will have each Cast and Crew member sign the sheet. Count the number of signatures, and enter that number at the bottom by Individuals Served.
The Producer will also need to turn in the Meal Sign In sheets along with the Reimbursement Voucher to verify those who had eaten the food that was provided on set.
