have less than 20 people. This arrangement can be setup by placing (2)
six feet long rectangular banquet tables side by side. The chairs will be
placed around the perimeter of tables.
Lecture Style
If your event consists of general meetings and/or lectures, the lecture
style arrangement is suggested. This layout works well with almost any
size group. Chairs are placed in rows one behind the other and are facing
the front of the room towards a podium or head table.
U-Shape
For presentations that have less than 35 people, it is recommended that
the room be set up in the U-shape arrangement. For this arrangement,
simply place your 6 foot rectangular folding or banquet tables in a U-
shape configuration and place the chairs on the outside of the tables.
Hollow Square
The hollow square setup is very similar to the U-shape. The major
difference is that both ends are closed. This arrangement can
accommodate more guests and is generally geared more towards
discussions.

The classroom style setup is primarily used when guest or participants
have to do some writing or note taking. Seminar tables can be used to seat
up to three guests who are seated on one side of the table and facing
forward towards the lecturer.
INTRODUCTION:-
Food Production
Food & Beverage Production is the core area of the Hospitality industry.
Major aspect of the Hotel industry is food as it is the true reflection of
hospitality.
The heart of the hotel is the kitchen. Guests who patronize these hotels
would visit them for various reasons, for locality, comfort, pricing and
even for the food that is served and presented to them. Also there are
some who visit these hotels for the purpose of having a meal or snack.
Whatever the case maybe, the kitchen plays an important role for the
existence and sustenance of the hotel.
CONTINENTAL
There are oven ranges which help in speedy cooking. Everyday fresh
white stock is prepared along with white sauce is bought readymade for
the market, while the tomato concusses is prepared daily. All soups are
made as per order.
INDIAN KITCHEN
The Indian kitchen is opposite to the continental. Here each state of India
has its own unique cuisine. The food is also served in accordance to its
traditional custom and style. It is further divided into two sections
a) TANDOOR
This is one of the important sections of the Indian Kitchen, which dishes
out authentic bread of India. This helps to satisfy the palate of the guest
in accordance to the taste. There are four big tandoor ovens which are
used to produce all the rotis’ and kebab
b) CURRY
BUTCHERY
KITCHEN STEWARDING
PANTRY
The main function of the pantry is to provide item of food and beverage
required for the service of meal and which is not catered for by the other
major kitchens of the establishments like pastry, continental etc.

o Juicer
o Freezer
* Cut the pieces of vegetable according to the space in between the wires
of the grill. If the distance between the wires of the rack is too wide, and
there is a chance of your piece slipping, then cover the wire rack with a
well greased aluminium foil.
* The size of the tikkas should not be too small, because after getting
cooked they shrink. A very small piece after getting cooked can turn hard
after some time.
* Pastes like raw papaya paste, ginger garlic paste, onion paste, coriander
paste or chilli paste should be make with as little water as possible.
To keep the tandoori food soft and succulent, paste food with some
melted butter/soil or sometimes with the left over marinade. To paste,
just pour the oil/melted butter on the food that is being barbecued when it
is a little more than half done.
Fish and sea food gets cooked very fast. Overcooking makes it
hard.
The temperature should be low moderate as even a little high
temperature makes the sea food tough.
Sea food is very perishable, so do not buy and keep it for long. Buy
fresh and cook the same day for good results. Do not use stale sea
food.
CHICKEN
Always place the tikkas or the Kebabs on the grill or on the wire
rack and never directly on a tray. When you place them on a tray,
the liquid that drips while grilling keeps collecting around the food
and keeps the food wet all the time. This prevents the tandoori
food from getting crisp.
MUTTON
Pastes like raw papaya paste, ginger garlic paste, onion paste,
coriander paste or chilli paste should be made with as little water as
possible.
If the mutton is not of very good quality, you may first pressure
cook the mutton and then marinate the cooked mutton and
barbecue later at the time of serving.
Garde Manger / Cold storage room
GSP has a superb Garde manger section where cold dishes (such as
salads, appetizers, canapes, pates and terrines) are prepared and other
foods are stored under refrigeration. The person in charge of this area is

classic cake and pastry preparations are made.

Many a times while cleaning a guest room attendant comes across some
personal items of the guest left behind. All the articles found while
cleaning the rooms are, thus, handed over by attendants to the Floor
supervisor, who maintains a list of the found articles against the specific
room number.
The linen room is the centre stage for the supporting role that the
Housekeeping Department plays in the hotel. Most linen rooms are
centralized and act as a storage point and distribution centre for clean
linen. Usually, a par stock is maintained on each floor or at each unit to
suffice immediate requirements. Although the term ‘linen’ originally
referred to those fabrics made from the fibre derived from the stem of the
flax plant, linen in this context means all launder able articles and often
includes pillows, mattresses, shower curtains, fabric lampshades and
upholstery that are also handled by the linen room.
The Floor Supervisor at GSP inspects and maintains the cleanliness and
physical condition of the hotel guest rooms, meeting rooms, hallways and
public areas. Shall immediately report damage or problems with the
guests room & room equipment. She will communicate with the Front
office all vacant and clean rooms, completion of guests requirement, etc.
