kitchen duty
Mess hall chores
Kitchen duty is the assignment of kitchen-related tasks, especially washing dishes, preparing food, or cleaning up after meals.
The term carries a slight sense of obligation or rotation, common in military settings, summer camps, and shared households: I'm on kitchen duty tonight.
Also called KP (kitchen police) in military contexts.
