TROLLEYS - GUERIDON OR FLAMBE TROLLEY

A gueridon or flambe trolley is a small mobile trolley that can be
placed alongside the guest's table. It consists of one or two
burners, a gas cylinder and a work and storage space for plates
and cooking equipment. Using this trolley, the food is flambed at
the guest's table. Only skilled and well rained waiters are
allowed to handle this service as there is the risk of spoiling food
by overcooking it, and of the flame causing a fire in the
premises.

SIDE BOARD OR DUMMY WAITER

SIDE BOARD OR DUMMY WAITER

The style and design of the side board varies from
establishment to establishment. It depends upon:
· The style of service and menu offered.
· The number of waiters working from one sideboard
· The number of tables to be served from one
sideboard
· The amount of equipment it is expected to hold.



It is essential that the side board is of minimum size and
portable so that it may be moved, if necessary. If the sideboard is too
large for its purpose, then it takes up space which could be used to
seat more customers. The top should be of heat resistant material
which can be easily washed down. After service, the sideboard is
either completely emptied out or restocked for the next service.

SIDE BOARD OR DUMMY WAITER

The side station is also called the dummy waiter or service

console. This is a very important piece of furniture in a restaurant. It

is used by the service staff for keeping all the service equipment at

one place. It is also used as a landing table for the dishes picked up

from the kitchen enroute to the table and the dirty dishes from the

guest's table to the wash-up area. For the convenience of the service

staff, the side station should be strategically located in a restaurant.

The side station should be kept clean and presentable as it can be

seen by the guests.

station.

TABLES & CHAIRS

TABLES & CHAIRS

TABLES & CHAIRS

The size and shape of tables depends entirely on the
availability of space and the kind of service envisaged. Normally
three types of tables are used. They are round, rectangular and
square.

The height of the table irrespective of the shape should be 75
cm from the floor level. The diameter of a round table to seat four
people should be approximately 92 cm. The size of a square table to
seat two people should 76 cm sq and 92 cm square to seat four
people. The size of rectangular table to seat four people should be
137 cm x 76 cm. Commercial table tops come in a variety of
materials: wood, metal, stone, tile and melamine. Many restaurant
table tops are available with edged finishes to prevent scuffs and
dents.
In some expensive tables, another table top is placed with
revolving facility, on top of which the food is placed where th guests
can rotate revolving top and serve himself, if he chooses to.



Chair are available in various shapes, colours and sizes to
suit all occasions. Because of the wide ranges of style, chairs come
in varied height and width. However the dimension of chairs should
be relative to table dimensions. The average height of the chair
should be 92 cm. The seat should be 46 cm from the floor and 23 cm
from the top of the table. This would enable guests to sit and eat
comfortably, without their legs touching the underside of the table.
