4.3 Learning Outcomes
Understanding Banquet Operation
1) I had learning sessions with the banquet captain that explained to me on how the banquet operates. The reservations of any function by client is handled by the Sales & Marketing Department. The department receive potential’s client’s calls or meet them, consult them on the service packages and price. Event orders will be issued to all associate departments after reservations are confirmed. Distribution of the document is ordinarily done in three days to one week prior to event date. ‘Super Duper Event’ is the term used for last-minute reservation to hold a function. It must be made at least one hour before the desired time.

Besides, to provide satisfying service at events, a banquet personnel should be physically fit to carry heavy loads and to withstand long standing period especially during big events.

It is a pity that there is no big functions like weddings or annual dinner was schedule to be held during my training period with banquet, apart from the Ramadan Bufet. I will certainly learn more if I were to get the chance. However, the workload at banquet department is generally heavier than other departments. This is because it involves the moving of furniture, many decoration item and preparation for large patron numbers as well as long be-on-your-feet hours. Personally it was not easy for me to carry heavy loads due to my physical, although the staff always being considerate of each other’s capability when assigning tasks. It is indeed true that the banqueting chores suits male worker the

Personally, I gained a lot of benefit from the internship. However, there are few matter I think can be refine to make the training program better.
The student should be inaugurate with the management or upper-position staff duties and rand how the carry the responsibility to enlighten us more on the management job scope, not just focusing on a common server chores.
I suggest the hotel would give the chance to students to be assigned at all departments associates with the courses they learn in their syllabus. For instance, as a Food Service Management student, I also learn about marketing and cost control in foodservice. It would be better if my course mates and I were introduced to marketing and cost control departments too. learn more about hotel
Last but not least, I personally think it would be better if the lecturer could visit the student on the field earlier or about the middle of the training period to outlines what can be improve by the students during their
The new skills the DC program can provide can be crucial to a career move in the future. Further, I believe that having an internship in DC on a resume can really aid in making oneself stand out. I think that doing the DC internship can help me reach my full potential before I graduate. Moreover, I truly believe that the DC internship can help me demonstrate to any future employers, professors, or mentors that I have the right intention in mind. My intention before entering the “real world” is to demonstrate that I have a good since of work ethic and that it is very important to me what I have to offer to the world. The DC internship can help me further my skills/abilities in professionalism, because I can learn how everything should be done in the most in the most professional way. When it comes to professionalism I know how to do emails, dressing, being on time ect. I believe that the internship can introduce me to new professional rules and
Since I graduated high school, the safety of the athletes has tremendously improved. I graduated from Federal Way High School in 2012, and at the time, there was no trainer available to students during after school programs. Further, injury concerns that were not concussions were mainly up to the coaches and players to determine whether or not they would like to go back into the game. However, now there is trainer available 4 times a week after school for all athletes. Also, during games, the trainers from ATI must attend every game and if there is any type of injuries, the trainer is the only one that can determine if he/she is cleared to return to the game. This improvement of safety has brought me optimism since the development and safety of the teenager is more important than winning or losing
I believe in the old adage, “treat others as you wish to be treated”, and along with a healthy dose of common sense goes far in producing a healthy work environment. I think a chef can still remain authoritative, but be respectful of your employees’ social and mental needs thus creating a solid team of individuals willing to give it their “all” in the work environment according to the business organization known as Call of the Wild (n.d.). Therefore, as executive chef I would, I think team building is essential through rewards, training, and involvement as well as proper equipment to accomplish tasks. In order to eliminate food waste I would install a POS system at each station, thus giving those staff members the responsibility for their portion of the dish. Employee recognition definitely is a morale builder. Furthermore, I consider policies such as

This week at my internship I joined a majority of the staff attending a training called Bridges Out of Poverty and Effectively Living and Working within a Diverse World. The training also had an emphasis on ending sexual and domestic violence. It was a great training that lasted two days and was presented by Jodi Pfarr of Minneapolis, MN. She was an excellent speaker who held my attention the whole time. She also had the participants split into groups and discuss, which allowed me to hear about real-life experiences and hear from people of other counties. In evaluating myself this week, I would say that I did well. I was on time for the meetings and presented myself in a professional manner.
Albert Camus's "Banquet Speech" is revolved around the meaning of art. He defines art as a concept of connecting communities as a whole. Although, art is not a reason for the artist to distinct themselves from the real world. Camus stands behind this when he admits his art is to foresee the truth behind this world and to see deeper into the people suffering from the truth. For him, as the writer, he believes his art work reaches out to everyone because he does not see himself any different from the readers. They are all the same. No judgements or hatred takes place in the piece of work but only the beauty of the community.
Relevance for recommendations for improvements for client’s future business event On the basis of interview of event’s team member is can be said the Business Chicks is very much satisfied with the overall organization of this event.

Furthermore, lack of commitment is also one of the disadvantages of hiring a banquet part-timer, because of the banquet part-timer mostly is a student, so they may be not serious with their jobs. The purpose that they work as a banquet part-timer is they just want to earn money, or they see their friends has been joined, so they also like to joined for fun, and most of them think that they are just a part-timer, so they do not need to do the job perfectly. In this way, they may cause the guest complaint and also dissatisfaction of the guest.
The reason I chose the Hotel Management industry is because it is a career path that I have always been interested in and curious about. It is a fast growing widespread global industry. I’ve always wanted an exciting career, which would integrate my business and creative skills in a way, which would be more energetic, active and fun than most orthodox and boring office desk jobs. I also desired to work in an industry, which I was fervent about. For my first year Applied study period I had the opportunity to work at The Taj hotels, resorts and palaces, India and my experience there established many of my principles of how the hotel industry operated. Despite my refining on the job experience, that allowed me to explore the various departments and requirements of the everyday job, I had never elaborately researched the prospects of working and skills and requirements required in the Hotel Management industry; and this Is exactly what I aim to accomplish with this report.

I had never done an internship before so it was a learning experience for me. Would I do this over again probably, would I recommend an internship to someone? Yes I would, it is very rewarding growth in integrity, character, and spirituality if you let the Lord refine you, and you are able to take constructive criticism, which helps you refine your weaknesses. I think this is a great course and would recommend it to another student, thanks for the opportunity to learn and grow from this experience.
