Think back to the last time that you were eating at a restaurant. How was the food served to you? Was there a server involved? Did you serve yourself?

Identify various styles of service.Differentiate between 4 styles of service.

Multiple servers are typically present.

Food is presented on a silver serving tray, or can be presented and even prepared on a cart (gueridon).

Many times the guest will have the opportunity to view the dishes before they place their order.

Can be a very formal style of service.

Servers are present to serve guests from a large platter directly onto the guest’s plate.

Platters are not set onto the table the server takes the platter after every guest has been served.

As each course is cleared a clean plate is set in front of the guest for the next course.
