When preparing what you need, inspect each item. Return any that are not clean to the

has cracks or chips.
Your manager will tell you whether damaged items should be thrown away or kept aside
for the next stacking of equipment’s. There maybe a scheme for recording loss through
breakages.
Check that stocks are sufficient and in their proper place. Order new stocks before you
run out. You may have to complete an internal order from (sometimes called requisition), and
have this signed by the manager. Follow safety procedures for withdrawing damaged or faulty
equipment from use.
Turn on equipment for making drinks, keeping food and equipment hot or cold in time
for it to reach operating temperature. Check that refrigerators are working at the correct
temperature.
Preparing customers and dining areas
Approach your preparation tasks thoughtfully and in logical order. Spend a few minutes
counting on to a tray and polishing the entire cutlery you need, rather than going backwards and
forward between the tables and sideboards.
Check each item is spotlessly clean before placing on table and not chipped or damaged.
Take special care when handling a cutlery, crockery and glassware not to touch with your
fingers any surface that may come into contact with food, drink or the customer’s mouth.

2. Fold the napkin in half diagonally
3. Rotate the napkin so the open end faces away from

you
4. Fold the right end up to meet the far corner

ensuring the edge of this new fold lays on

Flower Arrangement

LEARNING MATERIAL
SET -FOOD &BEVERAGE

SERVICES NC II

No matter what kind of flower you choose, or where you find it, each flower has its own
individual characteristics, its own personality. Like people, some kinds of flowers get along
better together than others. To know which ones get along best, you’ll first need to get
acquainted with flowers as individuals or families.
A good place to begin learning the art of flower arranging is to choose a single flower in
season and let it direct you. Put it in a bottle or glass with few sprigs of green. Enjoy its solitary
shape, its color. Learn from it. A mass of flowers gives you a decoration; a single flower gives
you an education.
As long as the stems can reach the water and the flowers can keep their heads above it,
these spontaneous arrangements will survive as beautifully as the most elaborate floral creations.
Once the flowers have taught you about themselves, you’ll want to relate to them in your
own personal way by creating arrangements. Putting flowers together attractively is a satisfying,
creative experience. Beauty lasts only as long as the memory will hold it, but the opportunities to
create again are never – ending.
Creating a beautiful arrangement of flowers is also one of the nicest things you can do for
yourself or for a friend. With a little knowledge of the fundamentals, you can do it.
HOW TO ARRANGE FLOWERS:
Step One: Using the knife, cut floral foam to fit the container. Leave enough open space inside
the container to allow you add water without spilling.
Step Two: Soak foam in preservative solution.
LEARNING MATERIAL
SET -FOOD &BEVERAGE
Developed by:

SERVICES NC II

Step Three: Set the wet foam in the container and tape it down if the arrangement will be a
heavy one or if it is to be transported to somewhere.
Step Four: cover the foam and the edges of the container with green.
Step Five: Working with one type of flower at a time, arrange a circle of flower around the edge
of the container. Stem should glide easy to the wet foam. If they don`t, poke holes into the foam
with a pointed tool. Holes should be big enough to admit stems.
Foam will not support the stems if the holes are too big.
Step Six: insert a few more flowers in the center, trying to achieve a dome effect that looks like
daisies growing on hill.
Step Seven: Repeat step five and six with additional colors and kinds of flowers, one at a time,
to create an even distribution of color and flower shapes.
Step Eight: Add small-flowered filler or greens between principal flowers. This step is
important to make the best use of every flower in the bouquet. It keeps the blooms separated so
they don’t crush one another, helps provide good air circulation to keep blooms fresh longer, and
helps create the illusion of many flowers where there are only a few.
Step Nine: Fill the container with preservative solution.

To form the bouquet, begin with the most opened flower as your center point and place
three flowers around the edges of the center flower. Tape the stems of the first four flowers with
your floral tape. Use the same binding point at all times.

together, squeeze them, and repeat this process until you have achieved the required size of your
bouquet.
Wrap the Flower Stems

Once all your stems are tape together, wrap the stem of the arrangement with a non-wired
ribbon that goes along with your wedding party. Make sure to cover all of the floral tape. Go all
the way down, see if you need extra coverage, and possibly work your way back up.

Fabrics
100% polyester is a versatile choice for many manufacturers for fabricating skirting for tables,
counters, stages and any other custom application. Polyester knit is a rich looking fabric that has
the appeal of satin, without all the care and maintenance headaches. Poly-satin has been

complete set-up is required before the start of a function in as much as the food is pre-ordered.
Requirements for banquet set up are stated in an event order that is prepared by the banquet
office.
TABLE SETTING
Learn the pattern of table setting in your restaurant and dress tables according to instructions. In
case of doubt, check with the dining room hostess or head waiters.

few who can afford the time and expenses of meals served in this manner.
French Service Employees:

i. Chef De Rang (for experienced waiter) seats the guest when a captain is not
present; takes the order; serves the drink; prepares some of the food with
flourish at the guest’s table and presents the check for payment.
ii. Commis de Rang (assistant) takes the order from the chef de rang to the kitchen;
picks up the food and carries it to the dining room; serve the plate as dished by

The French Service has the following Features:
❖ It signifies luxury and is distinguished by the fact that the food is cooked or
completed at a side table in front of the guest.
❖ The food is brought from the kitchen to the dining room on heavy silver platters
carefully arranges and garnished suitably and placed on a rolling cart called a
Queridon.
❖ A small stove called a rechaud is used to keep the food warm.
❖ The food is completed by cooking, deboning, slicing and garnishing as necessary and
serve to the guest.
❖ The food is first presented to the host by viewing, then to his guest of honor.
❖ All food is served and cleared from the right side of the guest except for butter, bread
and salad, which should be placed to the left side of the guest.
❖ If a party is of outstanding guest, salads are usually mixed or prepared at the salad
table or on a salad cart by the Captain waiter who makes the ritual on it.
❖ Assorted pastries are presented on a large tray or from a cart with glass cover or
drawer.
❖ The service requires side tables and carts to perform correctly.
❖ Soiled dishes are cleared only when all guest have completed their meals.
❖ Finger bowls, of warm water with rose petals, or lemon slice in them, are served with
all finger foods, such as chicken and lobsters and at the end of the meal.
❖ The bowl is placed on a doily on a small plate called an under liner and place with a
clean napkin in front of the guest.
FINGER BOWL – is served with the courses mentioned above not afterwards. When a guest
eating lobsters with his fingers suddenly wishes a sip of wine he washes his fingers before
touching the glass. If possible, place the finger bowl in front of the plate. An additional finger
bowl is always served at the end of any complete meal in French Service and is placed directly in
front of a guest with fresh napkins.
2. RUSSIAN SERVICE
LEARNING MATERIAL

SERVICES NC II

The principal technique of Russian Service is that every food item is brought into the dining
room, not on a plate as American Service, but on silver platter from which it then is served by
the waiter to the guests’ plates which have been previously placed before the guests. Since all
work can be done by one waiter, Russian Service has a good advantage over French Service, for
which two waiters are needed.
Russian Service is a combination of French and American service due to the following features:
➢ It is very normal and elegant.
➢ The guest is given considerable personal attention.
➢ It employs the use of heavy service ware.

❖ A sugar bowl, salt pepper shakers and normally an ashtray on the table for each
two guests. For tables of more than six, service for every three persons may be
sufficient.

when the guest leaves. Before stripping a table for re-setting, the waiter should
always obtain a clean table cloth.

glass and serviette.

Provide and Adjust Table Set-Ups Suitable For Menu Choices In Accordance With Hotel
Standards
adjust the table set-ups based on the menu choices.
Table setting refers to the way to set a table with tableware such as eating utensils and
dishware for serving and eating. The arrangement for a single diner is called a place setting.
Place setting
Informal settings
Informal settings generally have fewer utensils and dishes but use a stereotyped
layout based on more formal settings. Utensils are arranged in the order and the way a
person will use them. Usually in Western culture, that means that the forks, bread plate,
spreader, and napkin are to the left, while knives, spoons, drink ware, cups, and saucers
are to the right, although the left-right order is reversed in a minority of countries.
Formally, in Europe, Mexico, Argentina and Philippines, the cup and saucer will not be
placed on the table until the very end of the meal.

Formal
A formal table setting Utensils are placed about one inch from the edge of the
table, each one lining up at the base with the one next to it. Utensils on the outermost
position are used first (for example, a salad fork and a soup spoon, then the dinner fork
and the dinner knife). The blade of the knife must face toward the plate. The glasses are
positioned about an inch from the knives, also in the order of use: white wine, red wine,
dessert wine, and water tumbler.
The general rule with utensils is to start from the outside of your place setting, and work
your way toward the service plate (the main meal plate): soup spoon first, then fish knife and
fork, then service knife and fork.
