FOOD SERVICE

Food services are a feature of hotels. The typical modern “package hotel” includes a restaurant, a cafe shop for quicker and less expensive meals, and a bar or cocktail lounge. Many larger hotels have several restaurants, often featuring different kinds of foods, as well as different prices. Hotels provide room service — food and drink that are brought to the guest’s room. In addition, catering service is usually provided in the hotel’s recreational areas. The poolside bar and snack bar for quick food are normal part of the service at a resort hotel.

Food, in fact, may be one of the reasons why people travel. Many people go out of their way to visit France; for example, because of the gourmet meals those are served there. Similarly, the excellent restaurants of Hong Kong constitute one of its principal tourist attractions.

The range of food service in hotels and restaurants today is extensive. In the first category, there are restaurants offering the highest grade of service with a full a la carte menu. These include dishes served by the waiter from a trolley in the dinning-room, and are known as gueridon service. The gueridon waiter has to cook speciality dishes at the table.

A second type of service is silver where the menu can be either a la carte or table d’hote. In this system, the food is prepared in the kitchen and then put on to silver plates and presented to the guests in the dinning-room.

A third form of table service is plate service. The waiter receives the meal already plated from the service hotplate and only has to plate it in front of the guest. Plate service is offered where speedy service is necessary.

In a fourth type of service, called self-service, a customer collects a tray from the service counter, chooses his dishes and selects the appropriate cutlery for the meal.

Today, with increasing needs for economy, many establishments usually prefer a variety of types of service. Tourist hotels, for exam-

111

ple, frequently offer a combination of self-service and plate service for breakfast and another combination of self-service and silver service for luncheon.
