1.1 Introduction
th
The hotel industry was organized in the 6 century BC. A hotel is hospitality. Any organization
that provides a full measure of the facilities as food, accommodation transportation
entertainments or health care belongs to the hospitality industry. A hotel is a home away from
home. Though the people who came to the hotel are basically customers they are called guests
and travelers as such because the hotel industry is the service industry. The relationship between
the guest and staff must be formal in nature. ‘The guest always right even if he /she is wrong’.
The British law defines a Hotel or inn as a place where a bonfire traveler can receive food and
shelter provided he/ she is in a position to pay for it and is in a fit condition to be received.
Therefore a hotel must provide food and beverage and lodging to travel on payments and has in
turn the right to refuse admission if the traveler is drawn, disorderly, and unkempt or is not in a
position to pay for the service.
The history of hotels is intimately connected to that of civilizations. Or rather, it is a part of that
history. Facilities offering guests hospitality have been in evidence since early biblical times.
The Greeks developed thermal baths in villages designed for rest and recuperation. Later, the
Romans built mansions to provide accommodation for travelers on government business. The
Romans were the first to develop thermal baths in England, Switzerland and the Middle East.
Later still, caravanserais appeared, providing a resting place for caravans along Middle Eastern
routes. In the middle Ages, monasteries and abbeys were the first establishments to offer refuge
to travelers on a regular basis. Religious orders built inns, hospices and hospitals to cater for
those on the move. In France, at the beginning of the fifteenth century, the law required that
hotels keep a register. English law also introduced rules for inns at that time. At the same time,
around 1500 thermal spas were developed at Carlsbad and Marienbad. During this epoch, more
than 600 inns were registered in England. Their architecture often consisted of a paved interior
court with access through an arched porch. The bedrooms were situated on the two sides of the
Courtyard, the kitchen and the public room at the front and the stables and storehouses at the
back. The first guide books for travelers were published in France during this period. An

embryonic hotel industry began to develop in Europe. Distinctive signs were hung outside
establishments renowned for their refined cuisine. At the end of the 1600s, the first stage
coaches following a regular timetable started operating in England. Half a century later, clubs
similar to English gentlemen's clubs and masonic lodges began to appear in America. In Paris
in the time of Louis XIV, the Place Vendome offered the first example of a multiple-use
architectural complex, where the classical façades accommodated boutiques, offices,
apartments and also hotels.
The industrial revolution, which started in the 1760s, facilitated the construction of hotels
everywhere, in mainland Europe, in England and in America.
In New York first of all, and then in Copenhagen, hotels were established in city centers.
At the beginning of the 1800s, the Royal Hotel was built in London. Holiday resorts began to
flourish along the French and Italian Riviera.
In Japan, Roan guest houses sprang up. In India, the government-run Dark bungalows provided
reliable accommodation for travelers. The Tremont House in Boston was the first deluxe hotel
in a city Centre. It offered inside toilets, locks on the doors and an "à la carte" menu. The Holt
Hotel in New York City was the first to provide its guests with a lift for their luggage. In 1822,
in Venice, a certain Giuseppe Dal Neil transformed an old palace into a hotel and gave it his
name, "Le Daniela". As trains began to replace horse-drawn transport, highway inns for stage
coaches started to decline. During this period, the Shepherds Hotel in Cairo was founded, the
result of a complete transformation of an ancient city-center harem. D'hôtel des Barguest was
built in the spring of 1834 on the shore of the Lake of Geneva. One of its founders, Guillaume
Henri Detour, became a famous Swiss general. In 1840, d'hôtel des Trios Coronas was
established in Vesey in Switzerland and the Bauru au Lac in Zurich, fully refurbished since
1995. In New York, the New York Hotel was the first to be equipped with private bathrooms.
The "Bayerischer Hof" was built in Munich in 1841, followed in 1852 by the
"VierJahreszeiten". These two famous establishments were completely renovated after the
Second World War.

The earliest accommodations were generally family-owned, with families providing not only
lodging but also food and drink for weary travelers. The early days of leisurely travel were
generally reserved for royalty and the very wealthy, although some travels were taken as a part
of an education process or religious requirement. In fact, European monasteries were frequently
used for lodging during the middle Ages. These basic trends continued for some time, until
modern transportation lowered the cost of travel enough to fit the within the budget of the less
wealthy. The word 'hospitality' was used before the word 'tourism.' Tourism was used to describe
individuals traveling away from home beginning in the 1700s. The industrial revolution in
England, along with the creation of more modern modes of transportation such as steamships and
railways, made traveling easier and more common. By the middle of the 1700s, the term hotel
came to be used for lodging in Europe, replacing the old idea of inns or taverns there. However,
lodging facilities in America were gaining popularity as inns. The first known travel agency,
started by Thomas Cook in England, appeared in the mid-1800s and offered a package that
included railway tickets and an accompanying tour book. A few years prior, the modern hotel
industry got going in the United States, with the opening of The City Hotel in New York in
1794.Before that, travelers might've stopped by a tavern-like business for a bite to eat or drinks
in Boston, the site of the first American coffeehouses. However, it was during the 1800s that the
first establishments that resemble modern restaurants were opened in Paris, France. These
restaurants, which catered to a wealthy clientele, were vastly different than the taverns and inns
that provided food to travelers.

The purpose of the service spoon and fork is to be enabling the waiter to serve food from a
dish on to the guest plate quickly and present it well.
The ends of the service spoon and fork should be positioned in the centre of the palms of the
serving hand as illustrated.
The service fork should be positioned above, or on the top of, the service spoon.
The service spoon id held firmly in position by the fingers of the serving hand other than then
forefinger.
The forefinger or index finger is used together with the thumb to hold the handle of the
service fork.
Note that the spoon and the fork should be held close to the tips of the fingers to allow the
best possible maneuverability.
Using this method I am able to pick up food items from the serving dish in between the
service spoon and service fork, and at the same time manipulate the service fork to mould
with the shape of the items being served.
There are, of course, occasions where two service forks may be used, or a slice, as this makes
the service of the food item concerned more efficient.

more to be clear. In less time and fewer journeys between sideboard and table. In the long term
this speeds up the eating process and allows for greater seat turnover
