Background:

Food and beverage service is the climax of the relationship between a customer and a caterer during
a meal experience. The actual contact with the customer is made at this stage of the food and beverage
operation. In this presentation of food and beverage service staff, in fact represent the whole organization.

IMPORTANCE OF DINING

Food is essential to man. The very reason why the food service industry, which deals with preparing
food items/products, is and will always remain in high demand is because of its necessity.
Customers are the life and blood of the food and beverage business. To ensure continuous patronage,
their satisfaction must be sustained. They always deserve preferential prompts and consistent attention.
Dining staff must see to it that every customer is satisfy who finds his dining experience pleasure and
rewarding so that he/she will back to a repeat patronage. No matter how good the food and the behaviour of
the staff, he/she may not come back and even mention his bad experience with friends that they will be
discourage from patronizing the restaurant.

GOALS OF MEAL MANAGEMENT


Soriano (1982) stated that the goal of meal management is to provide food that will ensure the physical
and mental growth of the person, his social development and well-being, with reasonable expenditures of
available resources. Kinder (1973) specifically categorized the goals as good nutrition, planned spending,
satisfying meals and controlled use of time and energy.
There are four (4) meal management goals: and the following goals are;
1. Good nutrition
2. Meals to match the budget
3. Controlled use of time
4. Pleasurable eating

With the changing lifestyle people and the growing popularity of eating away from home, the food
industry is likewise evolving to meet these impending challenges.
This industry includes restaurants, fast foods, school and hospital cafeterias, catering operations, food carts
and food trucks etc.

Origin of the Food and Beverage Service Industry


 The term RESTAURANT began in Paris, France in 1765.
 Before 1795, catering operations offered public food services.
 A soup vendor merchandised the soup as “le restaurant divin” – the divine restorative, coming
from the Latin word “resturare” meaning “to restore”
 This gave us the word Restaurant- a place to restore one’s health.

1. Commercial Establishment –These are businesses that are created to maximize earning profits
through the sales of food items and beverages.
 Coffee Shop – a concept borrowed from the United States, is
distinguished by its quick service. Food is pre-plated from the
kitchen with a light, complete and nutritionally balanced meal,
adequate in portion to the average guest. The atmosphere in a
Coffee Shop is informal which means that guests can come is
casual wear. Travellers, especially business executives, who are
on a fast lane opt for meals at the Coffee Shop.
 Specialty Restaurant – in such restaurants, the entire
atmosphere and décor is geared to a particular theme normally
related to regional cuisine. Tourists find these places an ideal
opportunity to taste local cuisines as a part of their adventure to
try and experience new cultures.

 Grill Room or Rotisserie – a restaurant that specializes in grill


of different meats, fish and poultry. The distinguishing feature of
this type of restaurant is a glass partition that separates the
kitchen from the seating area so that guests can see the grill
preparation of their choice.

 Dining Rooms – are found in smaller hotels, motels, resorts,


inns, clubs or heritage hotels. Smaller hotels may find it
uneconomical to have more than one eating place. The dining
room usually meant for the residents of the hotel.

 Discotheque – is a restaurant which is principally meant for


dancing to recorded music. The music is driven by a qualified and
experienced disc jockey (DJ) who creates or responds to the
moods of the guests. The main feature of the discotheque is a bar
which also offers light meals and fingerpicking snacks.

 Food Bars – is a collective name to cover informal snack bars,


roadside cafes, milk bars, kiosks, frozen yoghurt stands, etc.
under this category are those eateries that reach the public
when and where they need them most such as mobile food vans
including the hotdog cart that serves meals and business
centres, fairs and fetes.

 Fast Food Restaurants – give ready to serve foods at


reasonable rates. The restaurant is informal with wooden or
plastic tables and chairs. It can operate in limited space and
have small kitchens to finish food that is semi-prepared
elsewhere in central kitchens. The essential features are
standard preparations, standard portion of sizes, standard
décor, friendly waiters and brightly coloured decors.

 Casual Dining – is a relatively new classification of restaurants


where detectable meals are served in an informal atmosphere
yet formal in presentation. People have found this wonderful
alternative to expensive restaurants in a hotel. The chairs and
tables are offbeat yet selective.

 Food Courts – is a dedicated place for eating where several


fast food franchises can hire food booths and set up their

operations to shoppers who now have a choice of cuisines under one proof. Mostly found in
shopping malls, college campuses and any other public places.

2. Institutional Catering - is a food program for volumes of people eating together at the same time, like
in factories, business houses, hospitals and schools.

3. Airline Catering – maybe classified into Airport and Flight catering.


 Airport Catering – involves food outlets that are self-service, waiter service, vending machines
and licensed bars. They may be run by the airport authority
or by outsourced catering establishments.

 Flight Catering – is a specialized program for passengers


in planes. Food is served in difficult conditions in narrow
confines and especially when there is air turbulence.

4. Ship Catering – is almost like catering in a hotel. It is a food program on board in sailing vessels. The
challenge in cruise liners is the ability of stocking and storing the right provisions
and raw materials between ports to ensure that food is available for passengers.

5. Railway Catering – can vary from fresh food provided to passengers at their seat by carefully planning
supply points en route.

Activity Title: Philippine Tourism and Hospitality Industry
Learning Target: Identify the different sectors in tourism industry.
References: https://www.aseanbriefing.com/news/tourism-industry-philippines-part-ii/

Background:

Background:
The main sectors of tourism in the Philippines are:

Casino and Gambling


The gaming/casino industry in the Philippines is becoming more
developed, on the back of growing supply and heightened competition, a
recent independent report stated.   The Philippine Amusement and
Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), the gaming industry regulator, has said
that the casino industry continues to grow.

Cruise Lines
The Philippines is in the process of becoming one of Asia’s top
international cruise destinations, and there is an increasing interest from
Cruise Lines to boost infrastructure development in order to support
international cruise ships. Cruise tourism is one of the nine product
portfolios identified in the DOT’s National Tourism Development Plan
(NTDP) which aims to enhance the country’s competitiveness as a tourist
destination in the Asia-Pacific region.

Island Resorts

The Philippines is made up of 7,107 islands (only 2000 are inhabited);


each island offers a rich biodiversity ranging from tropical rain forests,
mangroves, and coral reefs to mountain ranges, world class beaches,
beautiful islands and a diverse range of flora and fauna.

General Tourism/Business Visits and Hotels

The hotel industry in the Philippines is expected to see a continued


growth over the next five years, although a decline in hotel occupancy
rates in the first half is forecasted. 

Yachting and Sailing


Tourism in the Philippines has grown steadily during the last few years.
There are increasing numbers of sailing enthusiasts looking for sailing and
yachting experience amongst the Philippines archipelago. 

Scuba Diving
The Philippines have the most species in the least space of anywhere in
the planet. Out of the planet’s 500 coral species, more than 400 are in the
Philippines.  The Philippines is at the centre of the world’s Coral Triangle,
and host to a very rich marine biodiversity, the whole Philippine archipelago
can be considered a dive location. The Philippines is currently working at
tapping a larger share of the world’s diving market. 

Conclusion:

However, at the end of the day, the Philippine tourism investment industry is increasing rapidly, despite the
various and sometimes overplayed downsides.

5. Scrub your hands with soap and water before you handle
any food especially when you have just come from the toilet, after touching your hair or other parts of
your body, and after your hands cover your mouth or nose when you cough or sneeze. Be sure to clean
under fingernails where dirt and bacteria tend to accumulate.

Proper Hand Washing


Washing is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of infections. “Germs” (a general
term for microbes like viruses and bacteria) can be spread casually by touching another person.
“Good” hand washing techniques include using an adequate amount of soap, rubbing the hands
together to create friction, and rinsing under running water.
The following are different situations where people can pick up germs.
 Hands are visibly soiled
 After using the washroom (includes changing diapers)
 After blowing your nose or after sneezing in your hands.
 Before and after eating, handling food, drinking or smoking.
 After touching raw meat, poultry, or fish.
 After handling garbage.
 Visiting or caring for sick people.
 Handling pets, animals or animal waste.
What is the right way to wash your hands?
 Wet your hands with clean running water (warm or cold) and apply soap.
 Rub your hands together to make lather and scrub them well; be sure to scrub the backs of your
hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
 Continue rubbing your hands well under running water
 Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry.

6. Trim your nails; especially if you work in the food service. This will help keep your hands much cleaner
and prevent the spread of the germs to the food.

7. Avoid working with food when you have an open cut, core, boil or infected wound in your hands. Pus
and other liquids secreted by the wound contain millions of harmful bacteria that can cause food
poisoning. Keep hands out of food as much as possible. Otherwise, wear disposable gloves.

8. Avoid smoking while preparing or handling food as ashes may drop into the food.

9. Wear suitable clothes at work. Wear also comfortable and clean shoes. Be sure aprons are always
clean.

Background:
KINDS OF KITCHEN WASTES

1. Food Waste – is a food material that is discarded or unable to be used.


2. Commercial Waste – consists of waste from premises used wholly or mainly for the purposes of a
trade or business
3. Domestic Waste – is a waste type consisting of everyday items that are discarded by the public or
from a private household.

KITCHEN STANDARD OF PERSONAL HYGIENE

Food employees shall maintain a high degree of personal cleanliness and shall conform to good
hygienic practices during all working periods. Food employees shall have clean outer garments and wear
effective hair restraints. Smoking, eating, and drinking are not allowed by food employees in the food
preparation and service areas. All non-working unauthorized persons must be restricted from the food
preparation and service areas.
No Bare Hand Contact with Ready-To-Eat Food. Food employees may not contact exposed ready-
to-eat food with their bare hands. Suitable utensils, such as deli paper, spatulas, tongs, dispensing equipment,
or gloves shall be used.

Clean

 Wash hands and surfaces often.


 Wipe down the surfaces thoroughly with warm water and washing up liquid, or antibacterial spray, both
before and after you’ve finished preparing any food.
 Ware washing: Either a commercial dishwasher or a 3-compartment sink set-up must be utilized to
wash, rinse, and sanitize equipment and utensils coming into contact with foods. The minimum
requirements for a utensil washing set-up to wash/rinse/sanitize should consist of three basins that are
large enough for immersion of the utensils, a potable hot water supply, and an adequate disposal

Storage

 Always refrigerate perishable food within 2 hours—1 hour when the temperature is above 90 °F (32.2
ºC).
 Check the temperature of your refrigerator and freezer with an appliance thermometer. The refrigerator
should be at 40 °F (4.4 ºC) or below and the freezer at 0 °F (-17.7 ºC) or below.
 Cook or freeze fresh poultry, fish, ground meats, and variety meats within 2 days; other beef, veal,
lamb, or pork, within 3 to 5 days.

foil or plastic wrap that is recommended for the freezer.
 Canned foods are safe indefinitely as long as they are not exposed to freezing temperatures, or
temperatures above 90 °F. If the cans look ok, they are safe to use. Discard cans that are dented,
rusted, or swollen. High-acid canned food (tomatoes, fruits) will keep their best quality for 12 to 18
months; low-acid canned food (meats, vegetables) for 2 to 5 years.

Thawing

 Refrigerator: The refrigerator allows slow, safe thawing. Make sure thawing meat and poultry juices do
not drip onto other food.

145 °F (62.8 ºC) as measured with a food thermometer before removing meat from the heat source.
For safety and quality, allow meat to rest for at least three minutes before carving or consuming. For
reasons of personal preference, consumers may choose to cook meat to higher temperatures.

Ground meats: Cook all raw ground beef, pork, lamb, and veal to an internal temperature of 160 °F
(71.1 ºC) as measured with a food thermometer.
Poultry: Cook all poultry to an internal temperature of 165 °F (73.9 °C) as measured with a food
thermometer.

 155° F for 15 seconds – comminute fish, meat, pooled raw eggs.


 145° F for 15 seconds – raw shell eggs that are broken and prepared in response to a consumers order
and for immediate service, fish, meat and pork.

Preparation

 Always wash hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds before and after handling food.
 Don't cross-contaminate. Keep raw meat, poultry, fish, and their juices away from other food. After
cutting raw meats, wash cutting board, utensils, and countertops with hot, soapy water.
 Cutting boards, utensils, and countertops can be sanitized by using a solution of 1 tablespoon of
unscented, liquid chlorine bleach in 1 gallon of water.
 Marinate meat and poultry in a covered dish in the refrigerator.

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point System (HACCP)


A system which:
1. Looks at hazardous and high-risk food;
2. Identifies the greatest risk factors of the food known to cause foodborne illness;
3. Makes the changes necessary to reduce or eliminate the risk;
4. Monitors the overall food handling.

HACCP- was developed by Pillsbury Foods and NASA to ensure their astronauts would have a safe source of
food in space. It is a food safety program that focuses on the flow of food in order to reduce the risk of
contamination and foodborne illnesses.

Learning Target: Understand the importance of good customer service.

principles

Background
Principles of good customer service

The key to good customer service is building good relationships with your customers. Thanking the customer
and promoting a positive, helpful and friendly environment will ensure they leave with a great impression. A
happy customer will return often and is likely to spend more.

To ensure you provide the best customer service:


 know what your customers consider to be good customer service
 take the time to find out customers' expectations
 follow up on both positive and negative feedback you receive
 ensure that you consider customer service in all aspects of your business
 Continuously look for ways to improve the level of customer service you deliver.

The following are some of the main elements of good customer service.

Customer relationships

To build good customer relationships you need to:

 greet customers and approach them in a way that is natural and fits the individual situation
 show customers that you understand what their needs are
 accept that some people won't want your products and concentrate on building relationships with those
who do
 help people — even just letting a customer know about an event that you know they're personally
interested in is helpful
 Continue to keep customers aware of what's in it for them to do business with you.
Staff

If you want to provide the best customer service, all of your staff need to have good communication and sales
skills. You will also need to show leadership by personally providing excellent customer service at all times.

Complaints

Listen to customer complaints; you may learn something about your product or service. Let customers know
that you appreciate feedback. Overcome any objections. Listen to what the customer is objecting about
(often price, merchandise or time). Confirm the validity of each concern and offer a solution.

OMPH, Holy Redeemer, Butuan City
Tel.#: (085) 342-5829 Fax #: (085) 342-5829

Products

Know your products — where everything is located, brand names, place of manufacture and price. The more
you know, the more confidence you can build in the customer.

Recognise product features. Turn these features into benefits for the customer. Ensure your staff can tell
customers about the product features and benefits.

Meeting customers' expectations

To provide good customer service, you need to understand who your customers are and what they want.

Know your customers

Gather information about as many of your customers as possible. Try to find out what your customers are
buying, why they are buying and the frequency of their purchases.

When trying to understand their needs, it may be useful to know details such as their lifestyle, occupation and
interests. Include any potential customers who have made enquiries about your goods or service.

Understand your customers' needs

Each customer will have a different perception of what customer service means to them. If you want to provide
good customer service, you should know the needs of the customer and how to fulfil those needs.

Find out how your customers expect you to meet their needs. The expected level of service varies from
marketplace to marketplace, industry to industry and, to some extent, from consumer group to consumer
group. Research your marketplace and your target markets to find out what your customers expect of your
business in your location.

Meet your customers' needs

Tailor your level of service to suit your customers' needs. Some businesses work well providing a 'no frills'
basic level of service while others go beyond customer expectations to achieve a level of service to make their
customers say 'wow'.

Some ways to go beyond customer expectations are:

 Introducing initiatives – for example, customer focus groups, customer survey cards or a suggestion
box. These initiatives send a clear message to customers that you are interested in their input
 Suggesting add-ons – for example, 'Would you like batteries as well?'
Failing to meet expectations

When a business fails to meet customer expectations, customers do business elsewhere. Poor customer
service and the perceived indifference of staff and management account for about 68% of customers who don't
return to a business.

Some actions you can take to improve customer service are:

 investigate the areas of issue


 train staff in customer service and sales skills
 rotate staff so they can increase their knowledge of other areas
 encourage and support teamwork
 review recruitment and selection procedures.

practices and goals to satisfy customers need at all possible and workable cost.
5. Service Flexibility – this is the extent to which alternatives are made available, and to which there can
be variations and alterations in the standard products that can be offered.

Customers have varying needs and expectations which the provider has to attempt to meet. Giving a high
standard of service creates many advantages for the customer, the individual staff members and the
organization as a whole.
