Suggestive Selling Techniques


Suggestive selling is a sales technique where the employee asks the
customer if they would like to include an additional purchase or
recommends a product which might suit the client. Suggestive selling is
used to increase the purchase amount of the client and revenues of the
business. Often times the additional sale is much smaller than the original
purchase and is a complimentary product.
Basic examples of Suggestive Selling
Fast food restaurants : I can recommend today’s special ___. Allow me to
recommend ____. You will certainly like it. It is delicious. Have you tried our
_____? It is juicy and delicious.
Gaming: After Playing Smaaash Cricket, Customer is suggested to play a
new game which has recently been introduced at the centre.

Information Sheet 5.2-1
Set up trays and trolleys

Learning Objective:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Identify equipment used in room service.

Set up trays, trolleys and equipment for room service in accordance


with enterprise standards and orders received
Room Service staff will have some trays or trolleys set up with basic
settings in preparation for service, just as a
restaurant area will have places set up in
preparation of guests and will change the setting to
suit the guests order.
There are often drawings or photos of the
various meal setups. The common meal setups are
Breakfast, Main course and snack. Room service
staff will customise the setup to match the order.
Generally Room Service will duplicate the same
crockery, cutlery, glassware and condiments as a
restaurant setting, depending on the order. The set up may also include a
vase or floral decoration and tray cards. Tray cards are used to give
information to guests about pick up of dirty dishes and to promote events or
specials.
When selecting the equipment for setting room service trays and
trolleys always check the equipment is appropriate for the order, clean and
not damaged.
For example do not use plates that are chipped, glasses with cracks,
or items with loose handles etc.
Always check all items are clean and where needed polished. If items
appear unclean they should be changed if the items are damaged they
should be sent for repair or disposed of as unsafe.
The next step to take will depend on the actual problem, and the
policies and procedures for example.
If a piece of crockery was found to be chipped or cracked it should be
wrapped up in newspaper and disposed of.
If a piece of glassware was found to be dirty, it should be returned to
the bar for cleaning.

toaster should also be labelled that it is ‘Out of Order’ and not to be used.
There may be documentation to complete if items have to be sent to a
maintenance department or to an outside contractor.

Set up trays and trolleys for a range of various meals


The exact procedure to take when setting up trays
can vary according to the type and extent of the order
being prepared. Some equipment may be stored in
suites or Butler's pantry for example toaster, crockery
etc. these items can be collected separately by service
staff.
The equipment found on individual trays should,
of course, exactly match the needs of the particular
order. If an order is delivered that is missing a certain
item it is time consuming, embarrassing and
inconvenient, as room service staff have some distance to travel to replace
the missing item. 
Various pieces of equipment are used in the room service area and
room service staff may be required to clean and prepare equipment for
service this equipment may include.
• Trolleys and hot boxes, tray trolleys and refrigerated trolleys
• Food trays of different sizes and structure like trays with feet for
breakfast use
• Tray covers – generally a linen cloth or paper cloth (non-slip
type) table linen for trolleys, and serviettes
• Cutlery – entrée and main knives and forks, soup and dessert
spoons, teaspoons specialist items such as steak knives or service tongs
• Crockery – various plates, bowls and jugs, cups and saucers
• Glassware – for juices, water, beer, wine and champagne
• Tea and coffee pots, hot water pots, coffee and tea making
equipment
• Plate warmer/ cloches or plate covers
• Salt and pepper shakers
• Bud vases, toasters, bread baskets, ice buckets, newspaper
holders
• Pen and order forms (always have two pens) also copies of
menus and beverage listings and tray cards

• Other equipment including items of fixed equipment for
example, wine coolers, espresso coffee machines, multi slice toasters,
microwave ovens, hot water urns, ice machine, refrigerators and small
portable equipment such as pizza ovens, coffee makers and toasters.
Ensure all Room Service equipment is not damaged, unclean or
unsafe.
There are several different types of trolleys used.
A tray trolley will generally have three levels and will be able to
accommodate up to six trays.
Multiple trolleys can carry up to 20 or 30 trays.
Orders should be placed on the trolley so that the last one off is
positioned on the lowest level. The orders to be first off should be placed on
the top level.
Some hotel procedures say that the room service meals should be
distributed from the highest floor down.
This means that room 801’s order would be placed on the top level of
the trolley, room 525’s order would be in the middle level, and room 302 ’s
order would be placed on the lowest level.
However, other hotel procedures say that the room service meals
should be distributed from the lowest floor up.
Standard lay-up photos are often used in the back-of-house to ensure
consistency in tray and trolley set up.
Trays can be set up for 1 to 4 people, depending on the order type and
the safety and balance of items.
It is generally safe to stack two plates on top of each other, as the top
of most plate warmers/covers have been designed for such purposes.
However, it would be unwise to stack meals three high and overload the
tray, and risk over-balancing the stack. In addition this could pose a health
and safety risk and should therefore be avoided simply for this reason.
Excluding the food and beverage items, the following equipment could
quite possibly be needed to set up and prepare the following types of shift
trays.
Individual trolleys are used when there is a full meal or multiple
guests. It may be the guest will sit at the trolley as a table.
A Room Service Trolley will be collapsible to permit easy storage and
will open up to replicate a table situation in the Guests room. Trolleys have
capacity for a heated box to ensure hot food stays hot may require some
assembly.

Collect food and beverage items from kitchen and bars for room service
delivery
Room service may have their own production kitchen or share with a
Restaurant or other dining area, there may be a chef solely allocated to room
service orders or staff may have to take their turn with Restaurant staff.
When collecting an order check you have your order form to confirm
the order, it may be you who takes the order and delivers the order or
someone else.
This can be advisable as the person who serves the order is the one
the guest spoke to: this can help where there is confusion over the order or
a dispute arises.
In other instances, especially during high load times, it can be another
person who delivers the food, etc.
Room Service Staff may have to comply with a priority waiting for
order collection this may consider the status of the Guest and the
complexity of the dish.

Verify food and beverage items prior to delivery to room


Regardless of who actually delivers the food and drinks, someone will
have to pick up the order. When they do this they MUST check the items on
the tray against the order that has been put in.
It is unlikely that a deliberate error has been
made, but human error can occur, and it is too late to
realise this mistake when you are upstairs and in the
guest’s room.
Much of the food plated for room service will have
a cover over it and it is part of your job to remove that
cover and visually check the dish to ensure it is what
was ordered.
In addition, your check should ensure:
Special requests have been complied with – if “no chilli” was part of
the order, check to see it has been done. Vegetables have been served where
ordered, and not salted or sauced. Cold items are separate from hot and
dressings are in separate containers. Also check that the bread rolls and the
butter are there and that all the courses are present.
Visual check of the dishes do they look presentable? – no
sauce/spatter marks on the plates, no cracked crockery, hot dishes are hot,
cold dishes are cold, and frozen dishes are frozen and appropriate garnishes
have be added or are accompanying the item to be added on delivery such
as lettuce served with San Choy Bau or the Vietnamese mint and coriander
served with Pho.

Where there is any deviation from perfection – it must be quickly
brought to the notice of the chef (or other person responsible) and rectified.
Remember that the hot food is cooling down and the cold food heating up –
so speed is critical given that it will take an additional couple of minutes to
get it to the guest’s room. Room Service staff should respect the
professionalism of the preparation staff and verbalise their comments or
complaints politely, but in establishments where room service is common,
the kitchen staff should be aware of the nature of room service presentation
problems and respond accordingly.
