rooms and restaurant for which hotels requires well trained front

polite with the guest. A smile brings has face and be polite with the
guest. A smile brings us from mortar and brig to hospitality and

INTRODUCTIN
Food and beverages service department is that where we must
consider how to organize the service of cooking food. Which is one
part of the game? Many times it is not the food but the great show in
the service which attracts and wins the guest to your side. Hence,
prompt and courteous services should be the motto of the F & B
service staff. Food and beverages services are also known as
hospitality catering service. This is the second revenue earning
department in the hotel.
The hotel and catering or hotel and food service industry is now
becoming widely known as the hospitality industry. The industry is
usually defined by its output of products, which satisfy demand for
food drinks and accommodation, but it excludes food and drink
manufacturing and retailing.
Central to the industry is the need for operational personnel who are
generally divided into food division staff. The opportunities for
advancement in food and beverage service are many position exist
such as restaurant manager, banquet manager, station head
establishment in which one finally decides to work is available in
hotels and restaurants, catering, resident catering, transport catering
and outdoor catering, banquet manager, station head establishment in
which one finally decides to work is available in hotels and
restaurants, catering, resident catering, transport catering and outdoor
catering.
72
Once again it all depends on the individuals and on the type of

catering in which one is more interested. Also there are more chances
to see the world and travel around the countries of ones choice by
land. Sea or air, in such capacities as area or group manager, air
steward, first steward, travelling on liners, public transport and soon.
In this way a wealth of experience may be gathered by seeing the
methods of food and beverage service in other countries. Management
has many responsibilities. This includes the economics of menu
casting portion control, wastage of food, customer staff relation,
labour shortages and staff training. If good relation exists between
management and staff, then problems should be pleasing to the
customer. The food services staffs play an important part in the
achievements of such good relations.
Since they are in contact with the customer and with management,
their conduct influence the running of the establishment and the
atmosphere created for the customer. A part from sales of rooms, the
hotel also sells other service like swimming pool, health club, banquet
halls, food and restaurants and other services, outlets and the liquor in
the bar.
