accompaniment of travel whether by land, by water, or by air. The growth
of railways brought about railroad and dining stations. The travel by water
required provision of food for both crew and passengers, as town cities
grew up in population, eating places were established.
Today the food industry is defined in its broadest sense, to mean
all establishments where food is regularly served outside the home. Such
establishment includes restaurant, hotel or motel, and department store
dining rooms, coffee shops, family restaurants and fast-food outlets. Food
service that is operated in schools, colleges, universities, and hospitals.
Nursing home and other health care setting are also included. The history
and development of food service industry are presented in module 1.
Module 1 is intended to give the reader an idea and appreciation for
foodservices as they are today. The background information should be of
special interest to those who are already preparing food or managers of
food service operations.
LESSON 2
EARLY DAY HISTORY OF FOOD SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
Food service organization had established a well-organized form as
early as feudal times. It revealed that the countries which contributed
most in the development of the food habits and customs were Great
Britain, France, Germany and Sweden. These countries showed with their
custom of social characteristics and there were no traditions preventing
other people in participating in social meals. These countries contributed
in the development of the food service industry. Even though the kind of
food service was different from the kind of what we have today, it marked
the evolution of institutional food services.
1P a g e | 8
LESSON 3
EVOLUTION HISTORY OF FOOD SERVICE
ORGANIZATION
The food service industry has two categories:
1. Commercial Establishment which are committed to earn profit.
The restaurant is king in this category.
2. Institutional catering that provides to institutions such as
factories, business houses, schools, railways, and airlines etc.
Restaurants
Restaurants make huge part of the foodservices business and
create extensive employment. Restaurants may be independent or
part of hotel operations. An Early type of restaurants was the
coffeehouse, which appeared in England in mid-1600s. By the 18 th
century there were approximately 3,000 coffee houses in London.
Fast Food Restaurants
Fast-food operations had great impact on the food service
industry. Fast Food restaurants standardized ready-to-eat food and
service. Fast food operations dated back1920s and 1930s when
A&W Root Beer (the first Fast-food restaurant Howard Johnson
franchised some their units.

Schools
Though schools existed in early times, there is no record of school
programs. Rugby, Eton and Harrow evolved from religious institutions of
the middles ages. They did not have any noted food service programs.
FOODSERVICE ESTABLISHEMENT
1P a g e | 10
Commercial Establishment
Restaurant
A restaurant is a commercial establishment committed to the sale of
food and beverages. Restaurant can be further categorized by ownership:
1. A restaurant may be licensed part of a hotel operation, whereby the
sales contribute to the sales performance of the hotel.
2. An independent business entity under individual ownership and
management.
3. A chain restaurant that is part of multi-unit ownership organization,
offering standardized menus, décor, type of service and marketing
strategy.
Types of restaurants are:
1. Coffee shop. I food is pre-plated from the kitchen. Coffee shop are
quite light and simple.
2. Specialty Restaurant. In such restaurant, the entire atmosphere
and décor are geared to a particular theme normally related to
regional cuisine, Chinese, Indian, Polynesian, Japanese and French
restaurant are all geared to the specialty food they offer.
1P a g e | 11

over the modern dining experience. Fast food restaurants are ready
to serve foods at reasonable rates. The guest pays cash and carries
the food right away.
9. Food courts. The variant to fast food operations brought about by
the emergence of mega malls. The food court soon has become a
center point for people where several fast-food franchises can hire
food booths to set up their operations.
10. Cafes. Café means “coffee” in French and cafes were opened
in response to the popular coffee houses of London. Cafes have
limited seats provided for those who wish to rest back for a quick
bite. Cafes have large windows for eaters to look out in the street.
11. Cafeterias. Cafeterias are found in institutional catering.
Industrial canteens, army messes, residential colleges etc. adopt
this type of service for expediency and least fuss.
12. Bars. Bars are places where liquor is sold and consumed. In
Europe, they are called inns; while in the UK they are called “pubs
and taverns.”
Institutional Catering
Institutional catering is huge business that is marked with
volume.
1. Industrial Catering refers to food programs in the factories and
corporate houses.
1P a g e | 12
2. Hospitals and Nursing Homes are major beneficiaries of
institutional catering the main focus of these programs is to provide
diet food supervised by qualified dietitians, to patients, who are
unable to actively seek alternative sources of foods.
3. School. Food programs are popular in full day school schedules
and boarding schools.
4. College/university. Food programs are of two types. The residential
hostels which build in meal cost in the total fees structure and those
the at permit licensed operators to open facilities to serve faculty,
administrative staff and students.
5. Airline Catering may be classified into flight catering and Airport
catering. Airport catering involves outlets that are self-service,
vending machines and licensed bars
6. Ship catering is almost like catering in a hotel.
7. Military catering covers the entire armed forces and paramilitary
forces.
8. Theme parks and Resorts offer great opportunity for food catering
programs.
9. Railway Catering is large and challenging food program. They
may be classified into railway terminal and in-transit service.
Catering in terminal consists of a range of facilities including
take-away food, fast food restaurants, etc.
In-transit service can vary from fresh food provided to
passengers at their seats by carefully planning supply points
en-route.
10. Prison Catering is another challenge as inmates have to be
fed nutritious and wholesome food so as to avoid the spread of
disease in a limited prison campus.
11. Youth hostels provide food for the students on the move.
These hostels need food programs to feed a number of students at a
time.

MODULE 2
The food service management
Lesson 1
MANAGEMENT
WHAT IS MANAGEMENT?
Management is the effective utilization of given resources to
achieve the enterprise’s objectives. The two key words are
enterprise’s objectives and resources.
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the chapter, the student should be able to:
1P a g e | 15
1. Profitability. This is different from profit. Profit is getting money at all
costs even if it harms the reputation of the establishments or
shortchanging the customers.
2. Growth. Growth is essential to be healthy and prosperous. Stagnation
will lead to the demise of properties
3. Survival. This is an important objective. Any enterprise is subject to
competition, which is trying to woo the customers away from it.
4. Image. The reputation of the establishments is very important for it to
survive. The reputation is in terms of food quality, sanitation and
hygiene, efficiency of service, parking ease, access to the property,
and type of clientele.
5. Innovation. This has become the buzz word of all modern enterprises.
Customer looking from something new.
6. Customer service. The customer is the king. Unless an establishment
doesn’t meet the changing needs and wants of the customer, they can
forget to stay in the business.
7. Teamwork. Organizations have given emphasis on building
teamwork. They recognize that a hitch in the service chain can affect
the ultimate guest’s satisfaction.
Resources
The next keyword in the definition of management is
“resources.” Every manager has resources, some of which are
traditional and some new because of the changing times. Let’s take
a look at what Peter Drucker, the management guru, called” M’s”
1. Men. It is an archaic term for human resources. Women have been in
a big way into regular workforce, especially in the hospitality industry,
and have justified these resources to be entitled “the human
resource’’
2. Materials. These are the operational supplies that are essential in
operation.
1P a g e | 16
3. Machines. These are the equipment required to fulfill the objectives of
the business. These are expensive items called capital items. (Eg.
Refrigerators, furniture etc.)
4. Money. Refers to the capital, budgets and operational cash flow
required to fulfill the basic purpose of business that is to make money.
5. Meters. Refers to physical space to carry out operation. It becomes
component of a profit and loss statement.
6. Minutes. This gives cognizance to time. Time has become an
important factor for both business and guest. It is timing of response of
the business to those opportunities that will bring success and profit.
7. Minds. Peter Drucker had said that only true thing that matters is
knowledge. Harnessing the minds of the existing staff and attracting
good talent is a big challenge. Recruitments firms are challenged to get
the right minds. Establishments do not want “warm bodies” as before,
but those who have the right knowledge and skills. This is the
information age, and knowledge has a premium attached to it.
8. Methods. These are how things are done. Some of the key criteria in
determining methods to deliver results are: timings, standardization,
quality customer service, safety and consistency. Fast food chains
have mastered standardization of products and services.
9. Measurement. There is new challenge to measure quality and
performance. People have become used to quality due to the
technological revolution and expect the same from services.
Lesson 2
Food hygiene, safety, and sanitation
1P a g e | 17
Objectives:
Introductions
Hygiene matters are those that directly affect a person’s
health. Sanitation is related to the contamination of the environment,
which affect the health of the people generally. Sanitation and
safety are two interrelated environmental factors that should be
given utmost importance when putting up food service
establishment. Ensuring the work place that is safe and free from
hazards for all workers is also a management responsibility. The
above-mentioned provision will bring about successful operation
and will contribute to the aesthetic satisfaction and personal security
of the diners and all other people involved.

Proper attire:
1. Employees should wear clean, washable clothing. Uniforms are
recommended but, is not feasible, cleans aprons are essential.
2. Effective hair restraints must be worn to cover head and facial hair.
Commonly used restraints include nets, bonnets and caps. The
purpose of hair restraints is to prevent hair from falling in to the food
and to discourage the food handler from touching his or her.
3. Jewelry is discouraged because bacteria can lodge, in setting and
contaminate food.

5. Rinse hands with water
6. Dry hands using paper towel or an air dryer.
1P a g e | 21
WHAT IS HACCP?
1P a g e | 22
3. Critical limit: the parameters within each physical, biological and
chemical risk must be controlled.
4. Deviation: Failure to control a critical risk.
5. HACCP plan: formal written procedures for safe.
6. Hazard: unacceptable consumer risks.
7. Monitoring: planned sequence of observations and measurements to
keep accurate record.
8. Preventive measure: means to include, destroy, eliminate or to
reduce hazard.

MODULE 3
Designing the foodservice
and facility
Objectives:
At the end of the chapter, the student should be able to:
Name some factors to consider in designing food service facility;
Discuss the importance of these factors in ensuring a successful
food service;
Explain new directions in foodservice planning;
Make a menu analysis;
Answer all questions given in the chapter; and perform the
suggested activities/learning experiences.
INTRODUCTION
To understand the planning process thoroughly, foodservice
managers and others involved in a design project need to know
certain definitions of words and examples of terminology, as
used in this module, and also the goals to be achieved.
Lesson 1
1P a g e | 34
PRELIMINARY PREPARATION FOR FACILITY
PLANNING
Lesson 2
TRENDS AFFECTING FOOD SERVICE DESIGN
1. Pattern of dining out. More people than ever before are eating
meals away from home. The food service industry is responding to
this trend by making changes in the style of foodservices, types of
food served, and prices charged. All these factors, in turn, influence
a facility design
2. Concern for employees. Shortage of both skilled and unskilled
labor and their desire to retain employees has led designers to
consider making foodservice facilities both functional and attractive
places in which to work.
3. Economic factors. Costs of wages, food and utilities can influence
selection of a type of foodservice and its design.
1P a g e | 35
4. Built-in safety, sanitation and noise reduction. In planning the
total facility, the safety of the employees, safety food and overall
sanitary conditions are consideration in new design. Many of these
features reduce noise and worker fatigue, and hence result in
greater productivity.
5. Information on development in design equipment. Visit to new or
renovated facilities on same type you are planning and talk with the
manager of those facilities, you may new ideas and serve as a
means to obtain firsthand operation.
6. Regulatory consideration. Foodservice managers need to know
which federal, state, local laws, codes and regulations will affect
their building or renovation project.
STEPS IN PLANNING PROCEDURE
After preliminary study to prepare for facility design project,
completing the following developmental steps will result to a complete
layout design.
a) Prepare a prospectus (a program planning guide)
b) Organize planning team.
c) Conduct feasibility study.
d) Make a menu analysis.
e) Consider the desired architectural features: building materials,
floors, walls, lighting, heating ventilation, refrigeration, and
plumbing.
f) Consider and adjust if necessary, the cost versus money
available relationships.
1P a g e | 36
7. Design. Refers to the broad function of developing the facility,
including site section, menu, equipment requirements, and other
planning functions, that will guide the project to reality.
1P a g e | 37
h) Maintenance engineer/ mechanical engineer
FEASIBILITY STUDY
A feasibility study- the collection of data about the market and
other factors relating to the operation of the proposed facility-Justifies
the proposed outline to ensure that the project is worth pursuing.
MENU ANALYSIS
An important step is preliminary planning is identifying the type of
menu to be served and the various food preparation methods required
for the menu type. This is the key to equipment needs, which in turn
determines the spaces requirements for the equipment.
The menu affects the equipment design and layout, as well as
personnel skills and staffing level required.
For example, if the menu and menu contain no friend food,
frying equipment need to the design, and no cook will be needed to
perform this task. The manager also, evaluates the menu for
production, service, and acceptability and feasibility. At this point
menu changes can be made to balance equipment’s use, workload
and acceptability.
ARCHITECTUAL FEATURES
During a project’s planning, phase team considers certain
architectural, features such as building style and materials, types of
floors, walls, ceilings, and noise reduction components; lighting;
heating and cooling; ventilation, built-in refrigeration; plumbing. Not
only is making a decision on these features essential for determining
project cost, but also for ensuring ease of cleaning, good sanitation
safety, adequate type and amount of lighting and temperature control

for high productivity, and noise reduction methods for a more pleasant
work environment.

THE MENU
Lesson 1
THE FOOD SERVICE INDUSTRY
Objectives:
At the end of the chapter, the students should be able to:
Define the menu and menu planning
Identify the different factors in menu planning
Classify menus into five groups
Describe how static or set menus and the single use menu work:
Describe how color, texture, consistency, flavor and variety in
preparation affect the desirability of the prepared menu.
INTRODUCTION
The menu is the centerpiece of any eating establishment.
It is not just a list food items for sale, but the reason why the
establishment exists. Menu planning, therefore, may be
considered to be one of the most critical activities of foodservice
operations.
A menu is detailed list of food items that may be ordered (as
restaurant) or served (as in hospital, school or corrections
facility). The purpose of this chapter is to review the many
factors that influence menu planning and to describe the process
of planning, writing and evaluating menus followed by specific
guidelines on how to write menus.
1P a g e | 42
FACTORS IN THE MENU PLANNING
Several factors should be considered so that customer’s
satisfaction will be met and the foodservice goals will be
successfully achieved. These factors:
1. Target customers
The number, sex, age, health and activity cultural and
economic requirement and food preferences of customers are
important considerations in planning menus.
2. Business Capability
This includes equipment on hand, number and skills of
personnel, the type and style of service.
3. Environmental consideration
This refers to the climate, the time of day the foodservice
is operational, food in the reason and sources.
4. Aesthetic Quality
The aesthetic quality of planned, menus is one important
factor to consider in menu planning. The planner must be able
to visualize the arrangement of food on the plate, how the
flavors will combine and whether or not food express variety
of textures, shapes, colors and consistency.

A primary goal of foodservice is to serve that is pleasing to the
clientele.
These factors tend to fall into three categories influence
including organization, customer and operational and
managerial.
1. Organization influences include components of the organization’s
business plan such as its mission, vision and philosophy. This is
sometimes present for the menu planner, especially when there is
conflict between what customers want and the mission of the
1P a g e | 43
organization. Variety and familiarity of menu items are two equal
attributes highly desired and valued by clients.
2. Customer characteristics such as age, ethnicity and health status
play huge role in menu planning. Data on demographics, socio-
cultural influences, eating habits will generate a composite profile of
the customer.
a) Demographics. 6he term demographics refer to the statistic
of populations.
b) Socio-cultural influences. The term socio-cultural refers to
combining of the social and cultural factors of population.
c) Nutritional requirements. The degree to which nutrition
influences the menu planning depends on the type of
foodservice and the market it serves.
d) Food composition, trends, habits and preferences. The
clientele of the foodservice operation is generally composed o
individuals from different cultural, ethic and economic
backgrounds, most of whom have definite food preferences.
Food habits are based on many factors, one of the most
direct being the approach to food and dining at home.
1P a g e | 44
4. Single-use menu. It is one that is planned for a certain day,
prepared and serves to customers without repeating exactly in the
same form.
5. Cycle-menu. Refers to a carefully planned set of menus that are
offered in rotation at set intervals.
Advantages:
1. Simplifies forecasting, purchasing, storing etc.
2. Employee workloads can be fairly distributed.
Disadvantages:
1. There might not be enough well-liked foods.
2. Planned menus may not coincide with seasonal produce.
MENU PATTERNS
It is an outline of food to be included in each meal. The usually
schedules are 3 meals a day- breakfast, lunch, dinner or super,
served within a certain time span.
Menu groupings
1P a g e | 45
The menu grouping follows the modified classical menu
sequence as below:
1. Appetizer-hot-cold. The appetizer is meant to stimulate appetite. It
is light, small in portion and served in mouth-sized nibbles. For
example, fruits (avocado), vegetables, seafood (shrimp, smoked
salmon) and salad (Caesar Salad)
THE MENU
1P a g e | 46
The menu is an itemized list of food served at a meal. The
menu may also be posted on the menu board, as in the custom
in most cafeterias and fast-fast restaurant.
MENU DESIGN AND FORMAT
A menu card must be designed and worked to appeal to the
guest, to stimulate sales, and often to influence clientele to
select items the food service wants to sell. It should not be
thought of as a price sheet alone, but as selling and public
relations device.
1. Descriptive wording. Menu items are usually listed in the
sequence in which they are served and should present an accurate
word picture of the food available so that the patron can properly
visualize the menu items.
2. Truth-in-Menu Legislation. Giving misleading names to menu
items is unfair to the customer and its illegal where truth-in-menu
legislation has been enacted general, these laws require that the
menu accurately describe the to be served.
MENU MARKETING
The manner in which food choices are presented to
potential customers can have a significant impact on sales.
Menu boards are common means of communicating menu items
and have been gaining in popularity, especially in health care
facilities.
1. Menu Boards and Signage. Menu and signage can have
significant impact on food sales on commercial operations. The
pupose of menu boards are sometimes reffered to as “silent” sales
representatives that encourage potentialcutomer to make a choice
at the same time contribute to financial objectives through the
sales.
1P a g e | 47
2. Spoken menus. This is a concept simply an alternative method of
communicating or presenting the menu to a customer. The method
can also reduce costs by simplifying the menu planning process
and reducing the amount of paper used and printing cost.
Most foodservices base their menus on the above pattern.
Adjustment made depend on the type of foodservice.

nutrient retention, limiting cooking time helps preserve both
flavor and appearance. Regardless of the method selected,
vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned before preparation to
remove soil, bacteria and pesticide residues.
STORAGE OF VEGETABLES

contributes to the deterioration of their appearance, texture,
flavor, and vitamin content. Another commercial process that
slows down respiration is coating vegetables with a thin, edible
coating such as wax.
