Checking and Clearing Room Service Area.

Learning Objective/s: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU

MUST be able to check and clear rooms and floor areas.

When a room or floor has been cleared after room service, the
room service - order taker must be informed.

Floors must be cleared quickly and quietly, but while doing so staff
must take care the equipment is securely placed so that it can be move
safely.

CLEANING PROCEDURES

1. The waiter who serves the food order is required to clear soiled dishes.
2. Upon pick up, buss boy or waiter must check whether all equipment
indicated in the control sheet are available for picked up.
3. If there are missing items and the waiter is inside the room, he must
locate for the missing item.
4. Captain should assign one busboy or waiter to pick up all soiled
dishes, trays and trolley lying on floors or hallways.
5. The waiter or busboy who is assigned to pick up trays/trolley should

floors or passages reflect very badly on the establishments. Good working
relations and good communication channels between the housekeeping and
room service departments must be maintained to make sure that floors are
cleared quickly. This requires a combination of good system and procedures
with the common sense and initiative of individual staff members.

Different establishment will have slightly different procedure but

typically, the procedure will be for the Room Service order-taker to record
the following on a dispatch sheet or checklist.
o The date
o Room number
o Whether tray or trolley taken
o Time and order was taken
o Time delivered
o Person delivering the order
o Time ordered cleared

The Room Service - order taker will usually be the person responsible
for controlling floor service procedures and for directing staff to clear rooms
and floors and in addition there should be regular floor checks, at least
hourly, to ensure that used trays and trolleys and miscellaneous items are
quickly removed. Housekeeping staff must notify Room Service if and when
used items need to be cleared from rooms or floors, so close coordination
between room service and housekeeping is essential.

When a room or floor has been cleared after room service, the room
service - order taker must be informed.
