  • A La Carte Dining in a Banquet Setting
    À la Carte Dining in a Banquet Setting: Is it Feasible? By Peter Szende and Ally Rung Winter 2018 By Peter Szende and Ally Rung For many decades, à la carte dining has been viewed as a completely separate service style only used in full-service restaurants, without a place in the traditional banquet–style setting typically seen in hotels and cruise ships. However, many contemporary ocean liners and hotels are changing that perspective. This calls for further investigation into the practices and technology the industry is beginning to adopt and exploration of how this translates into the customer experience. Cruise Dining When one thinks of dining options on cruises, a vision of large ballrooms with round tables arranged throughout two floors and servers moving between the floor and kitchen comes to mind. What most do not conceptualize is that dining in a large banquet setting among hundreds of other guests and being presented with a non-banquet style menu is quite a task for the staff. With this in mind, the question arises, how is this possible? How are these ballrooms and kitchens able to provide guests with a menu that allows for choice amongst a handful of appetizers, entrees, and desserts? One would think that with so many guests to feed, a menu with multiple items to choose from would be out of the question. Instead, the culinary geniuses on board these cruise ships have mastered the art of preparing hundreds of customized dishes for the hungry guests—true mastery of à la carte dining in a banquet setting.

  • Dining Etiquette Q & a from Virginia Tech Career Services
    Dining etiquette The layout 1. Dinner plate: At the center. When finished eating, do not push the plate away from you. Place both your fork and knife across the center of the plate, handles to the right. Between bites, your fork and knife are placed on the plate, handles to the right, not touching the table. 2. Soup bowl: May be placed on the dinner plate. If you need to set your soup spoon down, place it in the bowl. Do not put it on the dish under the bowl until finished. 3. Bread plate: Belongs just above the tip of the fork. Bread should be broken into bite -sized pieces, not cut. Butter only the piece you are preparing to eat. When butter is served, put some on your bread plate and use as needed. 4. Napkin: Placed to the left of the fork. Sometimes placed under the forks or on the plate. 5. Salad fork: If a salad fork is to be used, you will find it to the left of the dinner fork. 6. Dinner fork: Placed to the left of the plate. If there are three forks, they are usually salad, fish, and meat, in order of use, from outside in. An oyster fork always goes to the right of the soup spoon. 7. Butter knife: Placed horizontally on bread plate. 8. Dessert spoon: Above the plate. 9. Cake fork: Above the plate. 10. Dinner knife: To the right of the plate. Sometimes there are multiple knives, perhaps for meat, fish, and salad, in order of use from outside in.
