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
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.

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.
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

teamwork. The following personnel shows a structure of medium size casual dining

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

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
19
DIOCESE OF BUTUAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM (DBES), INC.
OMPH, Holy Redeemer, Butuan City
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:
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 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.
