Q.2. What is a Gueridon service? What are the advantages and disadvantages of a gueridon service? (3+7=10)


Gueridon Service is a term used in the restaurant business to refer to “trolley service.” Food is cooked, finished, or presented to the guest at a table, from a moveable trolley. Dishes typically served like this include Crepes Suzette, Caesar Salad, Cherries Jubilee, Banana Flambé, and Steak Tartar.

The food being served is usually partially or mostly prepared in the kitchen — certainly any prep work such as chopping onions, actually cooking crêpes, etc, is done there. The waiter then does the final assembly or cooking on the trolley at the side of the restaurant customer’s table. This might involve flambéing an item, or carving it, or tossing a salad.

The trolley is equipped with a burner for cooking, that can be powered by gas, electricity, or spirits. Some trolleys will have a cold drawer as well. All will have a chopping board and cutlery drawer, and be equipped with the necessary utensils for what the restaurant offers from the trolley. There will also be on the trolley a selection of basic condiments such as mustards, Worcestershire sauce, oil, vinegar, etc.

Advantages

  • Highly personalized service. The wait staff prepares or carves the dish and serves the guest personally.

  • High level of customer satisfaction. The dishes are prepared, carved, or flambéed in the guest’s presence.

  • Good merchandising device. Guests will be tempted to order dishes that are served from the trolley.

  • Wait staff can exhibit their culinary, carving, and service skills. The wait staff has an opportunity to impress the guests by demonstrating its cooking, flambéing, carving, and skills to them. It also gives them good job satisfaction.

  • High average spending power (high revenue/cover). The revenue generated will be more as the dishes served from the trolley are always expensive.

Disadvantages

  • The limitations are as follows:

  • Slow service. The time taken to extend the service from the trolley is more.

  • Low seat turnover. The number of times a seat is sold during the operation hours will low as the service takes more time.

  • Expensive style of service- as it requires more service area and highly skilled staff.

  • The chance of accidents is more.

  • More investment in-service equipment.

  • Cooking in the service area may leave an odour.

Q.3. Give the standard recipe of any two: (2×5=10)

(a) Crepe Suzette

  • 1 x classic pancake/Crêpes recipe

  • 3 tbsp caster sugar

  • 250ml freshly squeezed orange juice (2-3 oranges)

  • Zest of 1 orange

  • 1 tsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp Grand Marnier or Cointreau

  • 50g unsalted butter

Prepare pancakes/crepes. Fold the pancakes into quarters. Tip the caster sugar into a non-stick frying pan and set the pan over low-medium heat. Allow the sugar to melt slowly without stirring and continue to cook until it becomes a deep amber-colored caramel. Immediately slide the pan off the heat and add the orange juice – be careful as it may splatter and spit as it hits the hot caramel. Add the orange zest, lemon juice, the Grand Marnier, and return the pan to low heat to re-melt the caramel into the liquid. Add the butter to the sauce in small pieces, bring to the boil, and simmer gently until glossy and reduced slightly. Add the pancakes to the pan and warm through. Serve immediately.

In a 10-inch omelet pan melt the butter until it begins to sizzle, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook over high heat for about 1 minute, then lower the heat to medium. Keep tilting the omelet pan from side to side with a circular motion to keep the omelet from sticking. Cook until the top is no longer wet, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar. Pass the pan under a preheated broiler for 30 seconds to carmelize the sugar. Heat the rum in a small pan until it bubbles. Pour it over the omelet and ignite, then spoon the burning rum over the omelet until the flame dies out. Divide it in half and serve immediately, with the liquid from the pan poured over.

Sear steaks in butter: Melt the butter in a skillet set over medium-high heat. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Increase the heat to high and sear the meat for 1-4 minutes, depending on how thick the steak is. (You may need to cook the meat in batches.)Turn and sear on the other side. Use the finger test to check the doneness of the meat. When the steaks are done, move to a cutting board and tent with foil. Sauté shallots: While the meat is resting, sauté the shallots in the pan, 2 minutes on medium-high heat, stirring once or twice. Deglaze pan with cognac: Add the cognac to deglaze the pan. Increase the heat and cook until the cognac is almost evaporated. Add broth mixture, then cream: Stir in the broth mixture and bring to a boil. Cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Q.6. Explain various factors to be considered while planning a layout of a speciality restaurant. (10)

  • Cost/ funds in Hand:- It means that how much expenses are required or available for the making, renovation, or for operating the establishment. The cost factor is always considered on the priority base and will determine the number & types of activities that can be carried out.

  • Space available:- Space is also an essential criterion in restaurant planning because different types of seating arrangements require different amounts of space. The area of the space at hand will determine the number and extent of activities that can be carried out in it. Besides, the shape of the space is important in planning work centers efficiently.

  • Style of Service:- Style of Service also affects your restaurant planning. Suppose you want to offer Gueridon service to the guest then it is difficult to put carpet on the restaurant floor because it creates problems in the rolling of wheels. Similarly, in a kiosk, only a window counter is sufficient to pass on ready to serve prepared items to the customer. In a restaurant equipped for leisurely dining, at least 50-60 cms space on the table is required per person.

  • Cover:- It means how many people you are making at the restaurant or the number of people or pax can be accommodated at a time in the restaurant. The number of covers always depends upon the available space in the restaurant.

  • Type of Customer:- Type of customer you are catering will have a greater impact on the type of restaurant e.g., for the elite class, fine dining is suitable a cafeteria is suitable for office goers or shoppers.

  • Number, type, and size of equipment:- The total number of meals served at any mealtime and the menu composition helps to determine the quantities of various dishes to be produced and the size and type of holding and reheating or finishing equipment necessary in the serving area.

  • Man Power:- The number of staff is determined by the number of customers to be served at one time, the composition of the menu, style of service & type of the restaurant.

  • Menu:- The menu is the most important factor because it works as a selling tool plus also merchandising the dishes. The menu has to be planned by the locality or target market and as per the type of restaurant you intend to plan. Its physical layout like menu paper, language, word font, etc should also match with the restaurant’s theme.

  • Market trend:- The market trends should be kept in mind. The designs and layouts of all the outlets that are doing well as well as the ones that didn’t do well should be studied. And design and planning should be done accordingly.

  • Competitor:- the competitors, the type of their work, cuisine, and efficiency should be kept in mind as to give a decent competition to the competitors that already exist in the market.

  • Cost of repair and maintenance:- design and equipment should be done while keeping how the machines and other equipment will get out if there is any repair or maintenance required.

 

Q.7. For a 180 pax. formal banquet with 15 guests at the head table: (5+5=10


(a) Draw the seating arrangement layout.

(b) Indicate area requirement.


Calculation of the length of the top table:

(15 guests x length of a cover 2′) = 30′

Number of covers on the sprigs

(Total guests 180 – Top table guests 15) = 165

The sprigs should be within the length of the top table.

Assuming three sprigs:

The width of three banquet tables (3 x 2 1/2′) = 7 1/2′

Two gangways with chairs on both the tables (2×6′) =12′

Total (7 1/2′ + 12′) = 19 1/2′

Assuming four sprigs:

The width of four banquet tables (4 x 2 1/2′) = 10′

Three gangways with chairs on both the tables

(3 x 6′) = 18′

Total (10′ + 18′) = 28′

This area is LESS than the length of the top table but there is not enough space left to accommodate another sprig; therefore, the plan can use only four sprigs.

The number of guests seated at each sprig = 165/4

=> 41+41+41+42 = 165

which means 41 people will be sitting on 3 sprigs and 42 on 1. and since people will sit on both sides of the sprig, therefore, maximum covers at one side of the sprig will be 42/2=21.

Calculation of the length of the sprig

Maximum covers at one side (21) x length of cover (2′) = 42′

Area required to accommodate a top table with four sprigs is

(a) Top table-side area

Length of the top table = 30’

Gangway at both the ends of the top table (2 x 4 1/2) = 9

Total = 39′

(Since all the springs should be within the length of the table, calculation of spring width and gangways is not necessary)

b) Sprig side area

Width of the top table = 2 ½’

the distance of Sprigs from the top table = 4 ½ ‘

Length of the sprig = 42′

Space at the end of the sprig = 3′

Total = 52′

The minimum area required for this plan is = 39′ x 52′

Q.8. Write short notes on any two: (2×5=10)


(a) Master of ceremony

A master of ceremonies (also known as an MC or emcee) is the official host for a staged event, performance, or party. Normally, a master of ceremonies introduces speakers, makes announcements, and engages with the audience to keep the ceremony agenda flowing as smoothly as possible.toastmaster or master of ceremony is typically charged with the organization of the event, arranging the order of speakers, introducing one or more of the speakers, and keeping the event on the schedule. Such meetings typically include civic events, service organization meetings, and banquets of various purposes. The toastmaster announces that the host wishes to present a toast and leads and guides the sequence of events in formal banquets.

(b) Task Rota

A schedule, often called a rota or roster, is a list of employees, and associated information e.g. location, working times, responsibilities for a given period e.g. week, month, or sports season. A schedule is necessary for the day-to-day operation of many businesses e.g. retail stores, manufacturing facilities, and some offices. The process of creating a schedule is called scheduling. An effective workplace schedule balances the needs of stakeholders such as management, employees, and customers. A daily schedule is usually ordered chronologically, which means the first employees working that day are listed at the top, followed by the employee who comes in next, etc. A weekly or monthly schedule is usually ordered alphabetically, employees being listed on the left-hand side of a grid, with the days of the week on the top of the grid. In shift work, a schedule usually employs a recurring shift plan. A schedule is most often created by a manager. In larger operations, a human resources manager or scheduling specialist may be solely dedicated to creating and maintaining the schedule. A schedule by this definition is sometimes referred to as workflow.

(c) Flambé liquor

high-proof liquor such as brandy, cognac, or rum, which causes a momentary burst of flames during a flambe is called flambe liquor. Flambé refers to the technique of dressing a hot pan with flambe liquors and as a result of the combustion, alcohol’s raw flavor is burned off but leaves behind a subtle, sweet flavor. The technique is primarily executed for dramatic tableside presentation. Flambéing plays a role in dishes such as bananas Foster, crepes Suzette, and steak Diane.

(d) Standard operating procedure (SOP)

Standard operating procedures are written, step-by-step instructions that describe how to perform a routine activity. Employees should complete them, in the same way, every time so that the business can remain consistent. Standard operating procedures help maintain safety and efficiency for departments such as Production/operations, sales and customer service, Employee training, Legal, Financial. A standing operating procedure should never be difficult to read or vaguely worded. It should be brief, easy to understand, and contain action steps that are simple follow. A good standard operating procedure should clearly outline the steps and inform the employee of any safety concerns. The standing operating procedures should be the basis for training any new employees. They should also be updated every year to ensure they stay relevant to the current needs of the organization.

 

Q.9. Define banquets. What are the different types of banquet found in the hotel? (2+8=10)


Banqueting is the term used to describe the service of special functions in a Banquet which is separated from the normal dining or service area found in the various restaurants within the Hospitality sector, meaning service of special functions for a specific group of people at specific times where food and beverages are pre-selected or determined. Functions take place within banquet rooms (or outdoors, i.e.: caterings) and are under the supervision and responsibilities of the F&B Department and its Head, the overall responsibility though has the Hotel Manager or Assistant Manager. The Banqueting Manager has the administrative control of all functions (applies to larger Hotels/Resorts). Banquet rooms consist of the actual function room and may also feature pre-function areas for registration or coffee breaks etc. Banquet rooms are suitable for both business and leisure groups to hold; meetings, seminars, balls, weddings, anniversaries, etc.

There are various types of banquet services available

Buffet

Buffet service is very common in events with large numbers of attendees. Guests pass through a buffet line that features food choices on tables separate from the seating area. Guests serve themselves, which allows for convenience in choosing what an individual wants to eat. They then return to their table to eat. Beverages are typically delivered and refilled by attendants.

Reception

Finger food and appetizers are presented in a buffet-style arrangement where guests can serve themselves. These are generally gatherings where people mill around the room while eating and chatting.

Food Stations

Food stations, or action stations as they’re sometimes called, include a variety of courses and offerings to guests. Many times these stations are manned by chefs who are cooking or preparing food in front of guests. Popular choices for these stations include meat-carving, pasta bars, sushi stations, and desserts.

Cafeteria-style

Cafeteria-style banquet service is very similar to a buffet, where guests stand in line to choose their food. However, in cafeteria service, workers or servers dish food from the buffet line. This helps control costs since workers have control over portion sizes

Plated

In this service, guests are seated and servers bring food already portioned onto plates directly from the kitchen. This is the most efficient type of banquet service and also the least expensive. You’ll frequently see this style at formal events such as weddings, where guests have been asked their choice of protein (beef or chicken, for example) and plates are assembled and sorted by those requests.

Family-style

Common internationally, family-style service features seated guests with large quantities of food in plates or bowls brought from the kitchen and placed at the table. Guests serve themselves and pass the food around the table.

Pre-set

If you show up at an event and the food is already on the table, you’ve experienced a pre-set service. This is frequently seen with items such as bread rolls, desserts, salads, and beverages. Main entrees generally are brought out from the kitchen in this configuration.

 

Q.10. Explain the following in one or two lines: (10×1=10)
