Background/ Concept:

The restaurant
A restaurant is a food-service establishment that serves prepared food to customers.
Service is generally for eating on premises, though the term has been used to include take-
out establishments and food delivery services. The term covers many types of venues,
diversity of styles of cuisine and service.

Restaurants are sometimes a feature of a larger complex, typically a hotel, where the
dining amenities are provided for the convenience of the residents and for the hotel with a
singular objective to maximize their potential revenue. Such restaurants are often also open
to non-residents. It ranges from modest lunch or dining places catering to people working
nearby, with simple food and fixed menu served in simple settings at low prices, or expensive
establishments serving expensive specialty food and wines in a formal setting

The Function of a Restaurant

The function of any restaurant and bar may be summarized as follows:


1. To provide food and beverage, served attractively fulfilling customer
expectation.
2. To provide a nice environment where guests can enjoy the food and drinks.
3. To make a profit.

Types of Restaurants

Cafeterias are restaurant serving mostly cooked or ready to eat food arranged behind
a food-serving counter. A patron takes a tray and pushes it along a track in front of the
counter. Depending on the establishment, servings may be ordered from attendants, selected
as ready-made portions already on plates, or self-serve of food of their own choice.

Fast-Food Restaurants
Fast-food restaurants emphasize speed of service and low cost over all othe
considerations.

Casual Dining Restaurants


A casual dining restaurant is a restaurant that serves moderately priced food in a
casual atmosphere. Except for buffet- style restaurants, casual dining restaurants typically
provide table service. Casual dining comprises of a market segment between fast food
establishments and fine dining restaurants.

Family Style Restaurants


Family style restaurant are restaurants with a fixed menu and fixed price, usually with
diners seated at a communal table such as on bench seats. Often these restaurants provide
children play area.

Specialty Restaurants
They range from quick service to upscale. Menus usually include ethnic dishes and/or
authentic ethnic foods. They specialize in a multicultural cuisine not specifically
accommodated by any other listed categories. Example: Asian Cuisine, Chinese Cuisine,
Indian Cuisine, American Cuisine etc.

Staffing and Management

The focus of recruiting service personnel and management staff should be effective
delivery of services and proper management on daily basis, plus long-term goals of the
restaurant. Restaurant staffing depends on size, covers, style, and type of the food and extent
of the operation. But remember, the key for effective management and service delivery is
teamwork. The following personnel shows a structure of medium size casual dining
restaurant.

Restaurant Manager
This person has overall responsibility for the restaurant and other food and beverage
service areas. The restaurant manager sets the standards for service and is responsible for
any staff training that may have to be carried out, on or off the job. He or she may make out
duty rosters, holiday schedules, and hours on and off duty, so that all the service areas and
outlets run efficiently and smoothly.

Captain
This person has overall charge of the service staff/ team. He is responsible for ensuring
that all the duties necessary for the pre-preparation for service are efficiently carried out and
that nothing is forgotten. The captain helps with the compilation of duty rosters and holiday
schedules, and may relieve the restaurant manager, on their days-off.

Waiter
The waiter must be able to carry out the same work as the station headwaiter and
relieve him on days-off. The waiter will normally have less experience than the station
headwaiter. Both the waiter and the station headwaiter must work together as a team, to
provide efficient and speedy service.

Trainee/Apprentice
The trainee is the 'learner', having just joined the food service staff, and possibly
wishing to take up food service as a career. During service, this person will keep the
sideboard well filled with equipment, and may help to fetch and carry items, as required. The
trainee carries out certain cleaning tasks during the pre-preparation period. He may be given
the responsibility of looking after and serving some appetizers or smaller courses, from the
appropriate trolleys.

beverages available, the best wines to accompany certain foods and the liquor licensing laws

The role of a restaurant host/ess is to attend to guests needs, particularly, on arrival at
the restaurant. The host should "Meet, Greet and Seat" the guest. The host/ess should make
sure that; guests leaving the restaurant have enjoyed their meal. The host/ess is usually the
final contact point for the guest and this is a "sales" opportunity.

Background/ Concept:
Types of Restaurant Reservations
These are two types of restaurant reservations, the manual reservation and online
reservation. The Manual Reservation System depend on the person designated, usually a
host or hostess, to answer the phone, record the details of the said reservation and taking
their credit card information as guarantee.

They may also answer guest questions, give accurate directions to the restaurant, and
provide clear information about parking. Forms will be used for reservation customer details.
Systems and processes have to work so the information collected can be stored and made
available on the dates it is required.

Product information such as room types, menu items, rate sheet prices, car types, live
entertainment, bus destinations, will all be in the form of brochures, charts, and hand-outs for
the staff. Accounting processes to collect the method of payment would be a cash register,
petty cash box, manual credit card machine or cashier to process the money.

On the other hand, the Online Reservation System makes use of the internet through
a website, where all the necessary information needed for reservation is keyed-in by the
guest. Other information about the restaurant, such as directions to the place, parking, active
promotions and discounts are also available online, instead of depending on the host or
hostess for details.

It also provides up to date "real time" information on availability at the push of a button.
When a reservation is recorded the availability is automatically altered. Displays a suitable
screen to input customer information and requests.

A computer system may have a "history" of any guest who has used the establishment
previously. It can store information such as preferred room type, record of request, date of
last stay, even the amount spent previously

The Elements of Reservation


People make reservations for convenience and security. Many people like to plan out
their holiday or business trip to feel secure in the knowledge that they have a room waiting for
them, they have a prepared table for comfortable dining, they have a flight booked to take
them back to their home or next destination, and know they have seen all the attractions of the
city during their stay. The role of reservations staff is to ensure that they process all
reservations in an efficient and professional manner.

Types of Bookings
 Accommodation suppliers – guests will need to have room bookings processed in order
to stay at establishments that provide accommodation such as hotels, apartments, resorts,
guest houses, caravan parks.
 Aircraft – passengers need to have "Seats" booked for all types of air travel they
undertake. These bookings will vary according to the airline chosen, class of travel such as
first class or economy, date of flying (e.g. high season or low season or facilities that are
included such as food or movies).
 Cruise ships – passengers on cruise ships need to make bookings for the dates of their
cruise. This sort of reservation may include meals while on board.
 Coaches or buses – to travel from one place to another or to visit a tourist destination.

around or have a chauffeur included with the vehicle.
 Day/extended tours – includes meals and maybe accommodation and entrance fees to
tourist parks.
 Dining and meal reservations – table bookings for restaurants and/or eating houses.
 Entertainment – a ticket booking such as theatre or music concerts.
 Tourist attractions – events such as the different ethnic festivals of the Philippines.

MIS-EN-PLACE PREPARATIONS

The word mis-en-place is a French term that means


everything in place. In food and beverage service we refer to it
as the basic preparation before any set up and service of food
and drinks is undertaken. This include pick up of needed
equipments and supplies and preparing them for set up and
service.

A. Pick Up and Cleaning of Equipment and Supplies


1. Have a list of items to be picked up and to be installed at the service station to
make sure nothing is left out.
2. Bring the requested items in a trolley or bus pans. Follow the guidelines as
follows:
a. China wares – must be piled up by tens to avoid accidental breakage.
b. Glass wares – must be placed in a glass rack
c. Flat wares - must be put in flatware rack or a utility plastic box container by type.
Place in a separate box the spoon, fork, dinner knife and spoon, teaspoon.

If plates are to be carried by hand, do it in a way that they are secured in both
hands.
3. Check for damages and remove them from service.
Damage ones should be listed in the breakages and losses report.

B. Wiping and Polishing Service Wares


1. Prepare clean and dry wiping cloths. Make sure that the ones intended for wiping
utensils/service equipment are separated from those used in wiping hands and
wiping tables. Distinguish them by using color codes like white cloths for utensils,
blue for hands and green for tables.
2. Dry cutleries, china wares using clean, dry cloth. Do not dry them in a electric fan as
the air that circulates may carry dust and dirt. Once moist, use another wiping cloth.
3. Wipe/polish china wares and glass wares as follows. (as demonstrated by the
instructor)

Tel.#: (085) 342-5829 Fax #: (085) 342-5829

a. Wiping china wares:


1. Using a sizable polishing cloth, thoroughly wipe and polish all
surface of plates and other china wares;
2. Wipe the rim and make sure that all surfaces are thoroughly
dry. Position the plate such that the hands do not leave
finger mark on it (hand not touching the china ware).
3. Turn to the back of the plates and wipe dry the back
surfaces.
b. Wiping glasses and cutleries
1. Bring wiping cloth into the inside surfaces of the glass and
wipe inside surface thoroughly.
2. Wipe the rim and base, making sure that hands do not
leave finger marks on the glass (hand not touching the
glass).
3. Place cutleries inside the wiping cloth and thoroughly wipe the
handle, the blades of knife, mouth (bowl) of spoon, tines of
fork.
C. Preparing the Service Station and Stocking the Side Board
To expedite the flow of service, it is advisable to install a service cabinet or sideboard
per area or station in the restaurant. Items placed on the sideboard must be checked
daily for cleanliness and condition. Make sure that each item is immaculately clean, free
of spots and smudges and without chips or damage. Any chipped wares must be
removed from service.

Procedures for Set Up of Service Station

1. Thoroughly clean the sideboard/cabinet with sanitizer and make sure it is


completely dry and free of any foul odor. Check the station for possible pest
infestation. Schedule fumigation when needed.

2. The captain in charge shall prepare a par stock list of items to be stocked.
The par stock shall be determined on the basis of maximum usage.

A par stock refers to the quantity of stocks required to sustain an efficient service.
This is based on the maximum usage of the items plus allowance for washing and
turns over. The maximum usage varies depending on the frequency of use by
customers. In a restaurant where tables are pre-set, the initial maximum usage of
pre-set items is equal to the seating capacity. If there are 100 seats, the maximum
usage of pre-set items in one meal per period will be equivalent to 100.

Aside from maximum usage (in this example, 100), make an allowance for washing,
and another one for turnover. If the turnover is frequent – as much as two times, it is
advisable to double (X2) the maximum usage to compute for par stock. In this
example par stock will be 100 X2 = 200

The turnover rate refers to the ratio of occupied seats over the total seats available.
A turnover rate of 1.00 means all seats (100%) are taken in one meal period. If all
the seats are occupied twice in one meal period, the turnover rate is
2.00 (200%). In some cases, the turnover rate is 1.5, which means the seats are full
for the first round and half full in the second round. For restaurants with low
patronage, the turnover rate can be as low as .30 or .50 which means 30% to 50%
of the seats are occupied in one meal period.

Assume the dinner plates, water glass, dinner knife and fork are pre-set in a 100
seating capacity restaurant, and the average turnover of 1.5, the par stock
requirements will be computed as:

PAR STOCK = maximum usage X 1.5

Par stock = 100 X 1.50 = 150 dinner plates,


dinner knife/fork & water glass

For items which are not pre-set, the maximum usage is equivalent to the maximum
number of order using the equipment being budgeted. For the sales record indicates
a maximum of 50 ice cream orders in one meal period, then the maximum usage for
the sherbet glass used for ice cream is 50.

The required number of sherbet glasses will be 50 X 1.5 = 75

The allowance or buffer is only arbitrary. The ideal buffer shall depend on anticipated
usage and turnover.

3. Before the start of operation, the captain waiter shall check for completeness of par
stock and whether there are items in the service station that are dirty or damaged.
Glasses and cups that are chipped should be removed and so cutleries with
damaged mouths or tines.
4. If stock in the sideboard fall short of par stock, the captain must prepare a
requisition to replenish stocks, then assign a busboy to pick up the requisitioned
items from the assigned stocks custodian of the food outlet.
5. Supplies should be properly classified and arranged. Place them in their
appropriate location at the service station.
a. The top shelf should not be stocked of any items as this will be the area where food
to be served will be placed and to be picked up by waiters.
b. The cutlery drawer shall be a space for placing cutleries/ flat wares. These wares shall
be positioned lying down, separating spoon, knives, fork, etc.
c. A separate shelf shall serve as stocking area for condiments, sauces, creamers,
etc.
d. One shelf shall be allocated for china wares – plates and side plates.
e. Another shelf shall be designated for cups and glass wares.
f. Another shelf for trays, hollow wares – water pitcher, tea/coffee pots, ash trays, etc.
6. Fold paper napkins and place them in a clean, covered container, then install
them in their appropriate drawer in the sideboard.
7. Refill the condiments – salt and pepper shaker, etc. and placed them in their
appropriate location.
8. Have a last look and check if there are other missing items or damaged ones that
need to be pulled out of repaired.

Background/ Concept:

The standard set up of a restaurant varies


depending on the type of service and the
requirements of customers. Fine dining usually
requires pre-set up of tables before service begins.

cafeterias. Pre-ordered menus will require a
complete set-up before the arrival of guests.

the table prior to serving orders. Coffee/tea must go with sugar and milk
creamer.

the center of the cover.
 Required condiments are set up before service.
 Client requirements as stated in the event order (for banquets) are available
and properly installed before the start of the function.
 If pre-set up is required, the additional cutleries are to be added to the set up
once the order has been taken. This must be done prior to serving orders.

2. Cleanliness And Conditions Of Equipment’s
