Interdepartmental relation of kitchen with
other departments

As we all know, the kitchen is the heart of the hotel operations; but
its mere existence is meaningless if it does not have good people
who serve the food and more so when there are no customers who
will eat the food. Also, chefs will not be able to cook until they have
the ingredients, so it will be right to say that suppliers too are an
integral part of kitchen operations. Everyone works as a team and so
the coordination of the kitchen with rest of the departments in the
hotel or with people outside the hotel is of utmost importance. The
people outside the hotel, who directly or indirectly influence the
business, are called ‘external customers’ and the departments inside
the hotel are referred to as ‘internal customers’.

1. External Customers: Usually the executive chef and the executive


sous chef deal with the external customer and it is very important for
the chefs to keep them happy. We are not only talking about guests
here; but many other people or organizations that will affect the
hotel’s business.

2. Internal Customers: Internal customers are the most important


people with whom chefs deal on a daily basis and without whom
their existence is almost negligible. The kitchen prepares food for the
entire staff in the cafeteria and healthy and nutritious food is a great
motivating factor for the entire team. Sometimes in cafeteria, chefs
also celebrate the festivals with special food for the employees. All
this is done to keep the staff morale high and to have a good
coordination with the other departments, as chefs are dependent on
them for many things.

i. Food and Beverage Service: It is a most common sight to see the


kitchen staff arguing with service people and vice versa. The age old
animosity between the two departments results from the fact that
both do not appreciate each other’s job. However, in spite of such
differences, they are completely interdependent and cannot do
without each other. The kitchen depends on the service for the
following things: Service operates sales in various outlets. It takes the
food order and serves it to the guest. Service acts as a bridge
between the guest and the chef and helps to communicate the
requests and opinions of the food by providing constant feedback.
For cooking, wines and liquors are required from F&B on daily basis.
Service sells the food and markets the chef’s specialty, thereby
bringing in more sales and happy customers.

ii. Housekeeping: Following are some important points related to the


coordination between the kitchen and housekeeping. Kitchen
requires clean uniforms, aprons, and dusters on daily basis, which
are provided by housekeeping. Kitchen also needs to coordinate with
housekeeping regarding the pest control and fumigation in the
kitchen. Special uniforms if required for particular functions or
theme parties are obtained from housekeeping. Festive decorations
if required in the restaurants or outlets, is again taken care of by
housekeeping.

iii. Front Office: Following are the important points related to the
coordination between the kitchen and the front office. Front office
communicates the daily arrival list to the kitchen and it helps the
chefs to forecast their production so that the wastage is minimized.
The daily arrival list also contains guest history and the chefs come to
know if there was any problem with food or service during the
guest’s previous stay. Hence, they could make it up this time by
exceeding his/her expectation. The front office circulates VIP lists in
the kitchens for any special requests of guests and for the room
amenities to be placed in the room. Sometimes welcome drinks are
prepared by the kitchen for some VIPs. Front office also assists
guests in making their dining choices and helps in marketing the
restaurants and outlets.

Popular Cocktails
1. Bourbon Old Fashioned Little more than a slug of whiskey
seasoned and sweetened, and yet the embodiment of a
cocktail as originally defined, which is to say, a combination of
spirit, sugar, water and bitters, this classic remains as popular
today as it was 200 years ago.
2. Long Island Ice Tea It’s been a long couple of years, and
apparently plenty of us are still Going Through It. This drink is
here to help. It’s not that it contains so much more alcohol than
many other drinks, but something about this combination of
four different spirits and a liqueur (plus lemon juice and cola)
makes this concoction seem like it’ll get the job done more
efficiently than any other mixed drink.
3. Dirty Martini Briny yet elegant, saline yet simple, the Dirty
Martini, which adds a splash of olive brine to the classic Martini
format of gin or vodka and dry vermouth, is an eternal go-to for
sippers looking for a bit of sophistication.
4. Margarita Combining tangy lime juice with sweet, orangey
triple sec and, of course, the most popular of agave spirits, this
drink has become one of the most beloved in the cocktail
canon.
5. Manhattan Cocktails don't get any more classic than this
elegant mix of rye or bourbon, sweet vermouth and bitters that
drinkers have been sipping for close to a century and a half.

Crockery List of all types crockery in use & manufacture


The crockery must blend in with general décor of the
establishments and also with the rest of the items on the table.
An establishment generally uses one design pattern of
crockery, but when an establishment has a number of different
service areas it is easier, from the control point of view, to have
a different design in each service area.
China is a term used for crockery whether bone china
(expensive and fine), earthenware (opaque and cheaper) or
vitrified (metallized). Most catering crockery used nowadays
tends to be vitrified earthenware, which is very durable and
have been strengthened. Chinaware is made of silica, soda
ash, and china clay, glazed to give a fine finish. Chinaware is
more resistant to heat than glassware and can be found in
different colours and designs which are always coated with
glaze.
Classification of Crockery
 Bone china
 Porcelain
 Earthenware
 Stoneware
 Alumina
 Melamine
 Terracotta
Bone china
Bone china is porcelain made of clay mixed with bone ash. This
is very fine, hard china that is very expensive. The decorations
are to be found under the glaze only. The price of bone china
puts it out of reach of the majority of everyday caterers, and
only a few of the top-class hotels and restaurants would use it.
The range of design, pattern and colour is very wide and there
is something to suit all occasions and situations.

Bone China
Porcelain
Porcelain is a ceramic material made by heating selected and
refined materials, which often includes clay of kaolinite clay, to
high temperatures. The raw materials for porcelain, when
mixed with water, form a plastic body that can be worked to a
required shape before firing in a kiln at temperatures between
1200°C and 1400°C. The toughness, strength, and
translucence of porcelain arise mainly from the formation of
glass at high temperatures and the mineral malate within the
fired body.

Porcelain
Earthenware
Earthenware may sometimes be as thin as bone china and
other porcelains, though it is not translucent and is more easily
chipped. Earthenware is also less strong, less tough, and more
porous than stoneware, but its low cost and easier working
compensate for these deficiencies. Due to its higher porosity,
earthenware must usually be glazed in order to be watertight.
Image of
Earthenware
Stoneware
Stoneware is hard pottery made from siliceous paste fired at
high temperature to vitrify (make glassy) the body. Stoneware
is heavier and more opaque than porcelain. The usual colour of
fired stoneware tends to be greyish, though there may be a
wide range of colours, depending on the clay. It has been
produced in China since ancient times and is the forerunner of
Chinese porcelain.
Stoneware
Alumina
Alumina enriched crockery can normally be spotted due to its
creamy colour. Alumina is an oxide of aluminium which is
added to the clay to give it additional strength. Though the
addition of alumina makes the crockery more expensive than
standard porcelain, it is generally cheaper than bone china,
making it a popular alternative.

Alumina Ceramic Plate


Melamine
Melamine is a strong, lightweight and hard thermosetting

The linen from Restaurants comprises of dinner napkins,
cocktail napkins, table clothes, table runners etc. The dirty
linen is collected in a dirty linen bag until it reaches a
threshold frequency. The F & B staff then takes the dirty
linen bag to Laundry where it is counted by the Laundry
staff.

Trays types, sizes, Material, Cost, purpose

Wooden trays, glass trays, plastic trays, and trays made of


different types of metals can be attractive and can be used
to serve for everyday dinners as well as for parties. Trays
are also made by using silver, gold, pewter and many
other expensive yet beautiful material

Serving trays are very important functional items usually


used to carry plates of food and dishes to diners. This is
the reason why they must be able to deal with relatively
heavy weight, be completely flat and include a lip or ledge
to keep the items in place.

Full size food pans are the standard in the foodservice


industry, measuring approximately 20 3/4" x 12 3/4". All
other sizes of food pans are simply a variation on those
dimensions. For example, a 1/2 size pan measures 12
3/4" x 10 3/8" and a 2/3 size pan measures 13 3/4" x 12
3/4".
Order taking procedure

Taking Room Service Order

1.Most room service orders are given by telephone.

2.The IRD Order Taker must have a good knowledge of the


menu.

3.The telephone must be answered quickly. The benchmark


for a five-star hotel is no more that three rings before it
answered.

4.Greet the guest and introduce the department and yourself.


This can be achieved by answering along these lines:

     “Good Morning, Mr.________. This is Room Service,


________ speaking. May I help you?”
1.Write the order down carefully on an order docket as you
speak to the guest.

2.Don’t forget to record the room number.

3.Repeat the order to the guest, clarifying any doubtful details.

4.Tell the guest approximately how long it will take for the
order to be delivered. It shouldn’t be more than 30 minutes.

5.Check that all the details are correctly recorded on the


docket. Include the time hat the order was taken.

6.Enter the order in POS.

7.Distribute the order to the appropriate personnel, both in


Room Service Department and other departments if necessary.

Setting Up Trays and Trolleys

Once the order has been distributed, a suitable present tray or


trolley should be selected and set-up appropriately. The set-up
will depend on:

 The number of covers.


 The food and beverage items ordered, and
 The meal or snack requested.

Collection of the Orders

When the trays or trolleys have been correctly set up, collect
food and beverage items promptly and in the right order, with
the appropriate accompaniments.

Food and Beverage items should be checked, with attention to


such details:
 Food and beverage temperatures
 Portion sizes
 Visual presentation as per recipe standards
 Wine details, including vintages

Food temperatures must be maintained from the time the food


is collected to the time it is delivered to the guest. Plate covers,
food warmers and hot boxes should be used to keep food at the
right temperature.

Collect the guest’s account and confirm that it matches the


order. This account must be taken to the guest’s room along
with the items ordered.

When all items have been checked, like service equipment,


food and beverage as ordered, and the account, they should be
taken to the guest’s room without delay.

Entering A Guest Room

Respect for a guest’s privacy is the primary consideration


when entering a room. The following procedures will usually
apply:

1.Approach the room quietly.

2.Knock firmly and say, “Room Service” clearly.

3.Listen for the guest’s response and react accordingly. If there


is no response, knock and announce, “Room Service” again.
Don’t go in until the guest opens the door or you have been
asked to enter.

4.When you have entered, address the guest by name.


      “Good Morning,_________. Here is your breakfast.”

Continue to use the guest’s surname while making polite


conversation throughout the room service procedure.

departments within a hotel to learn about the daily
operations within all divisions and departments. The
trainee acquires experience in all aspects of managing a
hospitality business, including knowledge of seasonal
traffic, competition, marketing, sales and budgeting. He or
she gains experience in company policies, how to submit
status reports, and learns to analyze customer feedback
and use it to the hotel's advantage. Like all hotel
employees, the trainee needs to be cordial and give
excellent customer service. The reviews that the trainee
receives from superiors are often really important to
career future. Many trainees are still in school, or are new
graduates; their experiences on the job often lead directly
into full-time employment. Additionally, these experiences
can help young professionals determine the departments
and divisions they enjoy the most, which can help make
their jobs more satisfying in the long run.

d) suggestion of improvement

Your fnb trainees represents your brand. In true


essence, they are your brand ambassadors. In the
hospitality industry, where everything revolves around
providing a perfect and exceptional experience to the
customers, the level of service quality highly depends
on the service quality of the staff and their behavior.
Customers want quick and efficient service, and won’t
settle for anything substandard. That means your
employees don’t have to serve great meals; they have
to go that extra mile to emboss a distinctive brand
identity for your restaurant. How can you then improve
your restaurant service quality? This is one of the most
frequent questions asked in the industry. Our answer
to this is restaurant staff training. Thus, we have for
you a list of tips that you can employ to improve your
restaurant’s staff performance.
Tips To Enhance Your Restaurant trainee Training For
Increased Efficiency 

A stellar restaurant trainee training should be an


indispensable part of your business strategy. Let’s see
how you can employ restaurant staff training to
improve the speed of service and efficiency of the staff
in your restaurant.

1. Devise A Plan Specific To Restaurant trainee Training

Restaurants should devise a well-defined training


program. Comprehensive training will enable your
restaurant staff to become more efficient and help
them deliver better service. Proper restaurant staff
training is the only way to maintain coordination and
efficiency in front of the house and back of the house
operations. A set training programme, especially in the
case of a QSR, is the only thing that can ensure
consistency in taste and experience. Here are the steps
to create a training plan which will improve the service
quality of your restaurant:-

 Write out the goals that you want your


restaurant trainee to achieve.
 Ensure that every goal is measurable. This will
help you decide what is working and what must
be changed.
 Make different plans for various roles. For
example, the front staff should be trained to
tackle critical customer-facing situations while
the culinary staff should be trained to work
under pressure and still serve quality dishes.
 Keep the plan consistent with the respective
roles. It will ensure that everybody is on the
same page and held to the same set of
standards.

Timeline and Schedule

If you plan on hiring new employees soon, remember


that it can take some time for them to get used to the
way things are done at your restaurant. Therefore, you
should develop a training plan that includes a proper
time frame and explain to your staff in detail how long
it will take to cover and finish each step of your training
schedule so that they can adapt accordingly.

Restaurant Mission and Vision

Although you should already include your restaurant’s


mission and vision in the employee handbook, you
should still talk about and outline this in greater detail
during your training. Doing this will give your
employees the required context about your restaurant’s
mission, vision, and goals.

Restaurant Layout and Table Setting

Every restaurant has a specific way of setting the table


that all servers must follow. Some restaurants have
one table arrangement for their lunch menu and an
altogether different one for their dinner menu. Thus,
trainers must go through their restaurant’s table
numbers, front and back of house layout, and table
setting requirements with their workers.

2. Assign the Staff Roles


According to Heinemann and Greenberger, 2002, a
large number of employees feel dissatisfied when they
are assigned the responsibilities without having the
right skills and knowledge in the area. Thus, assigning
staff roles is an essential process of staff training which
should be carried out with thought and care.

Apart from that, your trainee should be primarily


trained to perform their assigned role but should also
have a general idea of the responsibilities of various
job positions in the restaurant. This will create an
understanding of how the restaurant works as a unit,
and each employee will be able to grow and perform
better in his scope of duties. This will improve your
restaurant service quality and the speed of service as a
whole.

 While training your restaurant trainee, lay out


the anticipated duties and responsibilities of the
position. Assuming that the person should
already know what his/her duties are can spell a
disaster.
 Cover all the who’s, what’s, why’s and how’s of
your business. Your employees can perform
exceptionally well only when there is no
ambiguity, and they are clear about what is
expected of them and what is expected of others
on the team.
 This will also ensure all relevant jobs and tasks
are executed without stepping on each other’s
toes.
Area to be covered

1. ROOM SERVICE

Room service or in-room dining is a hotel service


enabling guests to choose items of food and drink for
delivery to their hotel room for consumption. Room
service is organized as a subdivision within the food
and beverage department of high-end hotel
and resort properties. It is uncommon for room service
to be offered in hotels that are not high-end, or
in motels. Room service may also be provided for
guests on cruise ships.[1] Room service may be
provided on a 24-hour basis or limited to late night
hours only. Due to the cost of customized orders and
delivery of room service, prices charged to the patron
are typically much higher than in the hotel's restaurant
or tuck shop, and a gratuity is expected.
