TEACHER
TRAINING FAREWELL
Farewell Party is a current common practice that is
mostly associated with organization employees, who are on transfer or retiring (vocabularydictionary.com
2007).It is a time when others have the opportunity to
acknowledge your contribution in an organization. It is time to say “thank you”
and “Goodbye”.
As a hospitality student we were asked to organize and
cater for one of teacher training staff member who was on transfer. The event
came to success as most of the customer needs were considered planned menu, set
up of the restaurant and location.
RESTAURANT SET
UP
According to
Cousins,et.al (2002) states that table setting in any restaurant is
determined by the style of cuisine its serves, at the event the style of
service that was used to serve guests was buffet. They are many types of service
like al carte and buffet is generally a self-service form of dining in which the
customer pays a fixed price and is entitled to select as much food as he or she
wishes.
Lillicrap and Cousins(2010).The buffet should be set up in a prominent position
in the room, making sure that there is ample space for display and presentation
(Lillicrap and Cousins(2010) at the event there was plenty of space for
customers circulation and the clearing of used crockery and cutlery were
carried out without disturbing the customers
MENU
PLANNING,
When
planning a menu there are factors needed to be considered (quality, price, food
preparation, dietary or nutritional claims and point of origin( Walker and
Walker 2014) but the basic rule of
menu planning is to know your customers. Before the event the chef meet with
the customers to find out, what they wanted to be serve with during the event.
A three course meal was planned
