What is Food Service?


The term "food service" refers to the delivery of prepared foods for consumption, including food items
prepared at the child care facility, food items received by the center from authorized food establishments,
milk placed in a pitcher or other serving container, ice transported, stored, and dispensed, bagged lunches
delivered from home, and the use of utensils to reduce direct food contact.

Classes of Food Service offered


Assistance from a waiter
Sit-down service, as it is more often known, necessitates the use of a waiter to manage all aspects of the
service, from taking orders to serving meals and collecting payment.

Chinese banquet service


This is a different sort of waiter service in which each waiter responds to a table or cluster of tables with
10 to 12 individuals. Meals are usually shared and communal.

Providing buffets
When there is a buffet service, a wider selection of food is available on the buffet line.

Self-service
Customers place, pay for, and pick up their orders at a counter, similar to those seen in fast casual and fast
food restaurants.

Semi-Self service
This form of service, similar to self-service, requires guests to order and pay for their meals at the
counter, but servers serve the food when it is ready.

Classification of Food service


Commercial food service businesses and non-commercial food service sectors exist. Commercial
industrial food service outlets accountted for location-based food expenditures. More than 80% of the
food service business is conducted commercially. A commercial part of the food service business includes
other enterprises that prepare, serve, and sell meals to the general public for a profit. They are typically
encountered at places that do not primarily serve meals and snacks. This includes places to stay, play, and
shop. Noncommercial food service is a supplementary support service offered by educational institutions
and organizations. Noncommercial enterprise accounts for around 23% of total food expenditure outside
the home. Food and drinks are not the primary objective of these businesses, but they are provided as a
supplement to the primary mission.

History of Food Service


While there is a long history of food service management, little is known about the early merchants and
innkeepers who provided meals in exchange for money. The contemporary hospitality sector has created a
body of knowledge regarding best practices that boost the chances of a food service business's success.
These strategies are typically used on purpose by bigger companies and franchises that want to build
repeatable processes, but they may also be useful for smaller businesses controlled by individuals or small
teams.

History of Food Service in the Philippines


Foodservice has been in the Philippines from the time of the barangay system. The datu was responsible
for feeding his people, including slaves and alipin. As a result, large amounts of food were necessary.
