If you do not know the answer, find someone who does or offer to call them back. § Before beginning to take the booking, make sure you have the reservation books in view. www. lrjj. cn

Station Mise-en-Place § Menus § Wine list § Spare guest check/order and pen § Condiments (sauces, pepper-mill, salt) § Clean table linen § Candles www. lrjj. cn

Whatever the type of cover to be laid, the following rules apply: § All cutlery and glassware should be cleaned and polished before they are placed on the table. § A folded napkin is placed in the center of the cover. § The main knife and fork should be positioned 1 cm from the edge of the table. § Side/bread plates are always positioned to the guest’s left. § The blades of all knives on the cover should face left. § Side/bread knives are placed on the right side of the plate. § The water glass is positioned 2 cm from the top of the main knife. Additional red wine and white wine glasses are positioned at a 45 o angle to the right, or in triangle. www. lrjj. cn
Menu (from restaurant atmosphere) The menu cover and contents should reflect the design and style of the restaurant. The design of the menu, its details, the style of type used, and the impression it creates all set the atmosphere. A small, simple menu in a color that harmonizes with the decor is desirable. It should set the feeling of the restaurant. Customers are not impressed by dirty, dogeared menus stuck together with adhesive tape. Menus should be simple and easy to read and understand. They should carefully describe the food served. A short but descriptive statement about major items served can stimulate the appetite and measurably increase the guest check. www. lrjj. cn
Importance of the Menu First, the menu is a contract with the customer, an indication of what is described on the menu is what will be delivered to the customer. Respect the truth in the Menu: (freshness, geographical origin, picture, quantity…) Second, the menu is a form of a product brochure. The menu should identify the name of each dish, major ingredients and how the dish is prepared in a appealing way, and without too many unfamiliar items. (the use of complicated names are risky) Third, it is an essential part of marketing. It is the first tangible connection your guests have between their interest in buying (why they are there) and what you have to sell. The menu is a selling tool: if properly priced, designed, and presented, the menu can increase the average check, the frequency of visits, the party size, or attract new guests. www. lrjj. cn
Listing Prices À la Carte Menu: Food & Beverage items are listed and priced separately. The guests choose from various appetisers, main courses, desserts. For the guest, the initial perception is that prices look low. This approach appeals to customers who like to individualise their meal. Table d’Hôte Menu: List of a complete meal (3 to 8 course) for one price. This menu can be called “fixed price” or “meal package”. The guest will eat each course from the menu that has been planned in advance for them. Combination Menu: Some restaurants offer both, Table d’Hôte & À la Carte Menus. (Chinese Restaurants, Fast Food). The guest can compare prices between the meal packages and the à la Carte Menu. www. lrjj. cn
Menu Sequence According to western countries and based on the French food culture, a meal can include the following courses (maximum 8): 1) Cold appetiser 2) Soup 3) Hot appetiser 4) Fish 5) Sorbet 6) Main Course or Entrée 7) Cheese 8) Dessert. An “À la Carte” or “Table d’Hôte” menu can follow this meal progression. www. lrjj. cn
