Food Service is always an area of hard work. I’ve been told I’m good at it, although I fine the work stressful. Something is always going wrong. People call in or are absent. Turn over is high because the work is mostly entry level. Keeping track of stock and ordering is meticulous. There’s a lot of attention to detail combine with physically demanding element (when someone is absent, you are stepping in). It’s not an area I would like to go in, but it is an option as a last resort. With the job market being what it is, it’s not a bad back up plan.
The management style of Rich and Rosanne is very hands off. Completely different from my school food service rotation with Laura at Cedarburg. So I was glad for both experiences to compare. They were busy running everything and managing people to keep me entertained. Which worked fine with me, especially after such a

Yes, we are short staffed, I am more than happy to hop on the line and serve for two hours, but don’t put me there for eight hours. I’m not free labor. Then they gave me time to work on projects for them that I couldn’t do on my own after work- presentations for department meetings, new recipe to test, prepping for nutrition class for behavioral unit, quality improvement project, tray accuracy test, sanitization and safety check. Also, I wasn’t often scheduled for more than eight hours. The biggest different between Agnesian and Cedarburg is that Rich and Rosanne have each other to work with and share the load, then Rich has other cooks other him to further divide the load. At Cedarburg, it’s all on Laura. Also, Rich and Rosanne are just the supervisors, Donna is the director. That took me a while to figure out. I thought she was just another office person. I guess she’s in charge of a lot of budget, office, and managemental needs. She was always around. But it was Rich and Rosanne with their hairnets on, putting out

The data I collected helped evaluate the efficiency of cart delivery times, the accuracy of the current cart delivery schedule, and was used to make adjustments to the current schedule. Based on the data, I recommend delaying lunch cart delivery times by 5 minutes for the PCU, ASU, 4W, 4M, and 2S units to reflect a more accurate representation of when carts are actually being delivered. I also recommend assigning another employee to help with retrieving special request items from the grill/café in order to reduce the workload of the employee working the “zoner” position. The zoner is responsible for delivering all of the carts to the units expect for 4W and 4M, which the kitchen 12 position helps with. During busy times on tray line carts frequently become backed up in the kitchen, which delays the cart delivery when the zoner does not have enough help.
According to resent studies, Americans eat fast food for the convenience, mostly in the Western and Eastern part of the USA and people that cook and eat at home they are more traditional, for example in the Midwest. Fast food has been part of life in the USA for over 60 years. It has become extremely popular by Americans simply for the convenience.
Being a waiter at a trendy restaurant is like being a host at a party, making money all the while.If a young adult have a difficult time trying to find time to do their homework and other things like partying, being a waiter is very convenient. Most restaurants offer flexible hours in which one only has to work five to six hour shifts. Waiters can also request what type of schedule they would like to work. Most restaurants' waiter staff is usually comprised of college and high school students, thus, they are more than likely willing to schedule you conveniently around classes. Plus, most nights, waiters will be out in time to do homework and other important things.Another thing, which might seem menial, is the casual guidelines for uniforms in most places.
Eppies Restaurant had many external customers. For example, we had M& D services they deliver meat and other products. Then we had Rainbow and they deliver bread. We also had a Towel Service they would wash our towels that we use to clean the restaurant. And finally the soda industry and dishwasher industry that supplies their product to any fast food companies. They all provide a service. Eppies Restaurant would buy an extra order for their product and in return they would get a discount. Finally we have our customers who buy our foods. The fast food industry can be very busy especially mothers day. We get anger customers because foods are brought late. The service is bad and seating customers has a big affect on our service to the community. The lesson learned steps in. This also applies for internal employees who work to provide the quality service.

The Davis family had been there for almost a week and was very happy to find a place that allowed them to stay without having to pay. They were also elated to know that they could watch after their child and not worry about how he was doing alone in some hospital bed. While I was interviewing the Davis family, I saw so much activity going on around me that it was difficult to concentrate. It was awesome to see, because everyone was interacting with everyone. Parents were relaxing and enjoying themselves, while children were playing together and loving every bit of it. Basically, what I learned from the Davis family is that they were very grateful to the Ronald McDonald House for allowing them to stay close to their child, affording them all the comforts of home while so far away from family and friends.

America is a capitalist society. It should come to a surprise when we live like this daily. We work for profit. We’ll buy either for pleasure or to sell later for profit. It should come to no surprise that our food is made the same way because we are what we eat. We are capitalist that eat a capitalist meal. So we must question our politics. Is our government system to blame for accepting and encouraging monopolies?
I asked for an extra stack of napkins at my table and the waitresses response was, “We don’t have enough to give you extra”, as she harshly rolled her eyes at me then walked away. Her attitude was like a pregnant women’s attitude when they aren’t fed within a timely manner. And of course they did not bother putting clean silverware either because there wasn’t any clean. Most of the dishes and stations were closed due to lack of staff, but of course that is because they haven’t bothered reviewing applications for new workers. In all honesty their staff has their roles backwards, the Sushi chef was running register, busboys were grilling, and waitresses were washing
In the food and Hospitality industry, Working with Colleagues and Customers is an important part of the job. Customer relations and interpersonal skills are the two most important skills that a person working in that industry will need to know about.
...ractical, the full service restaurants should focus on three elements such as service quality (responsiveness), price, and food quality (reliability) to have higher customer satisfaction level.
My first job was working at the Carmike Cinemas at the Summit. My main duty, among others at the theater, was working the concession stands. It was an entertaining job. It took me awhile to learn the ropes, but once I did, it was smooth sailing. There were several times the concessionaires stands were run by only one person. While it is fun working in a concession stand, I couldn’t forget about my responsibilities. A rush of thousands of people is a daunting task, but it will go smoothly if my station is primed. The keys to a smooth operation are organization, attentiveness, preparation, and (as my manager put it) sell, sell, sell.
The problem in the foodservice sector is related to the low income of their workers. Affecting mainly the lifestyle of those who make up this system. In the United States, there are 12 million workers in
The social standing of food became very significant in the early modern Europe. In this period, food was not just a mere substance but was considered an indicator of social position and situation . Food consumed by people was determined by personal preference and most importantly, by one’s prestige, activities and pressure of society in general. Lack of food had social consequences. For instance, famine changed the social framework and relation and even the individual fortunes. Lack of enough food was a common challenge in early modern Europe. Famines occurred very frequently and were numerous especially during the beginning of the fourteen century . Due to this, the fear of famine was witnessed and was influential in the lives of early modern Europeans. With regard to the apparent effects on health and
