QUALITY IN PANDERMAN COFFEESHOP ARIA


GAJAYANA MALANG
CHAPTER 1

PRELIMINARY

Background

In the current era of globalization, the tourism industry is in the spotlight

for developing and developed countries. Tourism is one of the industries that is

developing at this time so as to accelerate economic growth, create jobs and

improve the quality of life for local communities. Every country must have the

potential to become a tourist attraction. Tourism has become one of the sectors

that has an influence on Indonesia's economic development. A tourism business

that has the potential for a variety of potential natural beauty, social and cultural

diversity, cultural uniqueness, and so on. The overall potential becomes capital in

the tourism industry, which is still preserved. The Hospitality Industry is one

industry that plays an important role in the development of the economy and the

world of tourism in Indonesia. As we know in general, a hotel is an industry that

relies on services as an important point in the sale and marketing of the hotel.

Therefore, hotels intended for anyone and wherever they are will make them

guests who will be given a service or called Hospitality Service that can make

guests like at home. The importance of the quality of service owned by hotel

employees is the main element and attraction to the process of continuity of hotel

sales and marketing activities.

The hotel has a variety of departments including food and beverage

department. This department is a revenue generating department after the front

office department. In Panderman Coffeshop's food and beverage department, Aria


Gajayana Malang Hotel, the waiter and waitress operations are not only required

to have a good appearance but also have a good attitude, knowledge and quality of

service in serving guests. Coffeshop is an outlet in the Aria Gajayana Malang

Hotel. This Coffeshop provides a variety of menus from local, Asian and Western.

Restaurant as a place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Pandan Wangi Restaurant is

an outlet in Panderman Coffeshop Hotel Aria Gajayana Malang. This restaurant

provides a variety of menus from local, Asian and Western. Pandan Wangi

Restaurant as a place for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Food and beverage services are required to provide good service to guests,

especially in terms of serving food and drinks. This is an absolute means that must

be provided by the hotel considering the food and beverage needs are basic needs

of hotel guests or every individual who comes to obtain hotel services. The food

and beverages provided must prioritize the image, taste, and quality of service. In

this case, food and beverage service plays a full role in providing the best service

that can be done with hospitality, courtesy, smiles, and making guests feel

comfortable while in a restaurant. According to Soekresno (2001), restaurant is a

commercial business that provides food and drink services to the public and is

professionally managed.

Waiters or waitresses have a role in providing information about food and

beverage menus, various promos available, as well as information about the

layout of the set up of food and beverage menus that are served in the restaurant to

guests both from inside and outside the hotel. In carrying out activities as a waiter

or waitress must always maintain good manners both in speech and in body

expressions. Waiters or waitresses will always be noticed by guests and will be


part of an image attached to the restaurant and hotel itself. Doing conversations

with guests carefully, the waiter or waitress must be able to detect the wishes and

needs of guests to make it happen. Waiters or waitresses sometimes need to know

more about food and drinks, starting from the ingredients and the manufacturing

process. This will be more value for a waiter or waitress to support their duties in

providing good food and drink services to guests. Professional waiters or

waitresses in carrying out their activities are always guided by basic service

standards or applicable standard operational procedures (SOP). In this case the

SOP is a guideline that must be carried out so that everything that runs in the

restaurant can run according to the corridor outlined by management. A waiter or

waitress is the spearhead of the business because it plays an important role in

giving satisfaction to guests who indirectly will benefit the hotel. Therefore, a

waiter or waitress is required to run an SOP that is already available, so that

elements of errors in restaurant operations can be reduced. With that, a waiter or

waitress clearly knows what to do step by step in providing the best service to all

restaurant guests.

Aria Gajayana Malang Hotel was chosen by the author in this real work

practice because it has good quality and service and is a local four star hotel, so it

has several challenges to compete with various other star hotels. This will provide

a lot of experience, especially in the field of serving food and drinks. In this final

report the target is guest satisfaction from the services provided. So as to inspire

CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Food and beverage department

2.1.1 Definition

The definition of food and beverage department in general is the part that

takes care of food and drinks, while the definition of food and beverage

department in particular (seen from the world of hospitality) is part of the hotel

that takes care and is responsible for food and beverage service needs and other

related needs, from guests who live or not at the hotel, and are managed

commercially and professionally. (Soekkresno and pendit, 2004)

According to Soekresno and Pendit (1998: 4) a food and beverage

department is part of a hotel that takes care and is responsible for food and

beverage service needs and other related needs, from guests who live and who do

not live in the hotel and are managed commercially as well as professionals. As

for Rachman Arief (2005: 113) Food & Beverage Department, which is part of the

task of processing, producing and serving food and beverages for hotel guests'

needs, both in rooms, restaurants, coffee shops, banquets, food employees and so

on.

The food and beverage department is a department that is absolutely

necessary in hotels in the provision and service of food and beverages in carrying
out their duties the food and beverage department is divided into two parts that are

interdependent with each other and must work together. The sections are: 1) The

front service, which is directly related to guests, consists of bars, restaurants,

banquets and room service. 2) Rear food and beverage (back service), which is a

part that is not directly related to guests because they have to go through an

intermediary waiter, consisting of kitchen, stewarding. The goals of the food and

beverage department according to Soekarno and Pendit (1998: 5) are:

a. Sell as much food and drinks as possible at the right price

b. Providing the best service to guests so that guests feel satisfied. This

concerns the quality of food and beverage quality services, employee

attitudes, room decor and ambience, equipment used and sanitation

c. Get maximum profit and for business continuity.

2.1.2 Task

Food and Beverage Product Department in charge of providing food and

beverages to be sold to those in the hotel (Sihite, 2003: 130). This department is

very closely related to Food and Beverage Service because these two sections

have the same important role in the operation of a restaurant. Food and beverage

department as a means that must be in a hotel, whose existence is one of the

sources of income for the hotel concerned (Soekresno and Pendit, 2004). The

tasks of the food and beverage department are: (1) Selling as much food and

drinks as possible at the right price. (2). Providing the best possible service to

guests until guests feel satisfied. This concerns service quality, food and beverage

quality, employee attitudes, room decoration and ambience, equipment used and

sanitation (cleanliness). (3). Get maximum profit and business continuity.


From the definition above, it can be concluded that the task of the Food

and Beverage Department is a department in the hotel that is in charge and

responsible for procuring, processing, structuring, serving and providing food and

beverages and other related needs of guests staying in hotels and guests. who do

not live in hotels commercially and professionally.

2.2 Waiter / waitress

2.2.1 Definition of Waitress

Waitress is a hotel restaurant employee who has the duty and responsibility

to serve food and beverage needs for hotel customers in a professional manner

(Putri, 2016). According to Marsum (2005: 90) the waiter or waitress is "an

employee or employee in a restaurant whose duty is to wait for guests to feel

welcome and comfortable, take food orders and drinks and serve them, also clean

the restaurant and its environment and prepare a dining table (table setting) for the

next guest. Endar Sugiarto (1998) states that the waiter is "a hotel restaurant

employee who has the duty and responsibility to serve food and beverage needs

for hotel customers in a professional manner"

Whereas in terms of the term, waitress means people who are in charge of

or working in the field of presentation, in this case food and drink or at least

convey the dish to someone. Waitress is a term for female servants in restaurants

that work to serve food and drink restaurant guests in a professional manner, while

male services are called waiters (Akhmad, 2015). Waitress is a position in various

food and beverage department outlets such as restaurants, room services, bars and

banquets that serve to provide courteous and efficient service for guests in

accordance with predetermined service standard procedures (Hermanto, 2014).

m. This is used as a benchmark for developing and improving in the future that will be

tailored to the customer's desires

n. After the payment transaction is complete and guests are going to leave the

restaurant, the waitress must deliver guests to the exit while saying thank you and

please come back

2.3 Services

Service is an important thing in an effort to make customers still feel

comfortable and at home in using services from a company, if the company

provides good service, customers will not stay away and use services from other

companies. As for the definition of service according to Majid (2009: 35), service

is a real and immediate action to help others (customers, work partners, business

partners, etc.), accompanied by a friendly and sincere smile. The service is a

service defined by Philip Kotler (2000) in Ruslan (2006: 281) is any action or

activity that can be offered by a party to another party which is basically

intangible and does not result in any ownership.

In addition, Majid tried to simplify the stages of customer service as a

basic principle consisting of three stages, which must be lived and mastered by

employees, namely:

a. The main basic principle (before sales), in the form of giving a smile,

greetings, and greetings.


b. The second basic principle (during the sale or purchase process), in the form

of showing concern, giving responses, giving assistance, completing, and

thanking you.

c. The third basic principle (after sale / purchase), in the form of receiving

customer complaints, following up, member solutions not promises, resolving

immediately, accurately and effectively, giving a pleasant surprise, and

thanking you.

Quality is often regarded as a relative measure of the goodness of an item

or service. Quality is a dynamic condition that relates to goods, services, people,

processes, and environments that meet or exceed expectations (Tjiptono, 2006:

51). From the above understanding if consumers in a condition are satisfied and

able to get goods and services in accordance with the desired expectations, in

these conditions consumers find quality. Quality alone there are 5 kinds of quality

perspectives, namely:

1. Transcendental Approach: Quality is seen as innate excellence, where

quality can be perceived or known, but is difficult to define and

operationalize, usually applied in the world of art.

2. Product-based approach: Quality is a characteristic or attribute that can be

quantified and can be measured. Differences in quality reflect differences in

the number of elements or attributes a product has.

3. User-based approach: Quality depends on the person who looks at it, so the

product that best satisfies one's preferences (eg perceived quality) is a high-

quality product.
4. Manufacturing-based approach: Quality as conformity / equal to

requirements. In the service sector, quality is often driven by the goal of

increasing productivity and reducing costs.

5. Value-based approach: Quality is seen in terms of value and price.

Quality in this sense is relative, so products that have the highest quality are

not necessarily the most valuable products. But the most valuable is the most

appropriate item or service purchased. Service quality itself is the level of

excellence that is expected and control over these advantages to meet consumer

desires. Where there are two main factors that influence the quality of service that

is expected and perceived service (Tjiptono, 2007: 260). If the reality is the same

or more than expected, the service can be said to be of quality or satisfactory and

vice versa. Another definition according to Assegaff (2009: 173) service quality

itself is a measure of the extent to which a service provided can meet consumer

expectations.

By studying the quality of services we can know the effects of what

companies can do to meet consumer expectations of service quality. Quality must

begin with consumer needs and end with consumer perceptions. This means that

the image of good quality is not based on the point of view or perception of the

company, but based on the point of view or perception of consumers. Consumers

determine the quality or failure of a service. Thus the quality of service depends

on the company's ability to meet consumer expectations consistently.

Measurement of service quality in Gab Analysis of service quality model.

Parasuraman et al (1998) in Lupiyoadi 2013: 216), said that consumers in


assessing service quality, there are five dimensions that need to be considered,

namely:

1. Physical / tangible forms, namely the ability of the company to demonstrate

its existence to consumers. The ability of the physical conditions that exist

in providing services include physical facilities, equipment, employees and

means of communication. All of that is tangible physical evidence of the

services provided to consumers. This tangible dimension is generally used

by companies to increase the image in the eyes of consumers.

2. Reliability is the company's ability to provide promised services

immediately, reliably, accurately, reliably and satisfactorily. This means that

service providers must be on time in providing services to consumers, the

same service for all consumers without errors. In addition, it also means that

the company concerned keeps its promises according to the agreed schedule.

Dimensions of reliability are often the most important perceptions for

consumers and service industry players.

3. Responsiveness (responsiveness) which is a desire or readiness of

employees to help consumers and provide responsive, fast and appropriate

services with clear information delivery. Negative perceptions on service

will arise if the company allows consumers to wait for no apparent reason.

4. Assurance that includes knowledge, courtesy and the ability to provide

honest, convincing and reliable services. This means the ability of company

employees to foster consumer trust in the company in purchasing services.


Understanding the sense of security and security for consumers is also

important.

5. Empathy (emphaty) that is individual attention given by the company to

consumers personally to understand consumer needs, so that consumers feel

important, valued and understood by the company. Where companies are

expected to know consumer needs specifically, and have a comfortable

operating time for consumers.

Servqual (Service Quality) model, this model is also known as the gap

analysis model which was developed by three American researchers, Zeithaml, A.

Parasuraman, and Berry. To find out the quality of service, a gap is used. serqual

model. This model includes analysis of 5 gaps that affect service quality

(Tjiptono, 2014: 271), along with the explanation:

1. Gap between consumer expectations and management perceptions.

In fact the management of a company cannot always feel or

understand what consumers want right. As a result, management does not

know how a service should be designed, and what supporting or secondary

services consumers want. For example, the catering manager might think

that the consumers prioritize the timely delivery of food, even though these

consumers might pay more attention to the variety of menus that are served.

2. Gap between management perceptions of consumer expectations and service

quality specifications.

Sometimes management is able to understand exactly what

consumers want, but they do not set a certain standard of performance that

is clear. This can be due to three factors, namely the absence of total
management commitment to service quality, lack of resources, or because of

excess demand. For example, the management of a bank asks its staff to

provide services quickly without setting standards or measures of service

time that can be categorized quickly.

3. Gap between service quality specifications and service delivery.

There are several causes for this gap, for example employees are

poorly trained (have not mastered their duties), workloads exceed the limits,

cannot meet the specified performance standards. In addition, employees

may also be faced with standards that sometimes conflict with each other,

for example nurses are required to spend time listening to patients'

complaints or problems, but on the other hand they also have to serve

patients quickly.

4. Gap between service delivery and external communication.

Often consumer expectations are influenced by advertisements and

statements or promises made by the company. The risk faced by the

company is if the promises given are apparently not fulfilled. However,

when the consumer arrived and felt that the practical facilities and library

were ordinary, the actual external communication carried out by the

educational institution had distorted consumer expectations and caused

negative perceptions of the quality of service of the institution.

5. Gap between perceived service and expected service

This gap occurs when consumers measure the performance or

performance of a company in different ways or it can also be wrong to


perceive the quality of the service. For example, a doctor can continue to

visit his patient to show his attention. However, patients can interpret it as

an indication that something is wrong with regard to their illness.

CHAPTER 3

RESEARCH METHODS

The research method used is qualitative analysis. According to Anselm

Strauss & Juliet Corbin (2013: 4) in the book. Basics of Qualitative Research,

explained that qualitative research is intended as a type of research whose findings

are not obtained through statistical procedures or other forms of calculation. Some

researchers collected data through interviews and observing two techniques

commonly associated with qualitative methods.

find out what steps should be taken to improve the skills or work skills of a

waiter, as well as ways to serve guests who are good and right.

exists, obtained information from previous research by exploring theories

that have developed in the field of interest. Tracing the existing literature

and studying it diligently is a literature work that is very much needed in

doing research. The author takes data through books related to the field
