INTRODUCTION

Hotel History: St. Regis Hotel in New York- In 1904, Colonel John Jacob Astor
broke ground for the building of the St. Regis Hotel at the corner of Fifth Avenue
and 55th Street, in the most exclusive residential section of New York at the time.
While the hotel was under construction, Astor was unable to come up with a
name for his new hotel. During Astor's visit with his brother-in-law on a beautiful
lake in the Adirondacks in upstate New York, Astor's niece offered a solution:
"Uncle Jack, why don't you call it after this lake- Hotel St. Regis?" After doing
some research on the name, he found that the lake was named after a 17th
century French monk named Francis Regis who was given sainthood in the 18th
century and was known for his hospitality to travelers. So, Astor thought, what
better name for his new hotel: the St. Regis.

Opened in 1905, the St. Regis, NYC was described as the most richly furnished
and opulent hotel in the world with a daily room rate of $5.00

The architects were Trowbridge and Livingston who were based in New York.
The firm's partners were Samuel Beck Parkman Trowbridge (1862-1925) and
Goodhue Livingston (1867-1951). Trowbridge studied at Trinity College in
Hartford, Connecticut. On his graduation in 1883, he attended Columbia
University and later studied abroad in the American School of Classical Studies
in Athens and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. On his return to New York,
he worked for the architect George B. Post. Goodhue Livingston, from a
distinguished family in colonial New York, received his undergraduate and
graduate degrees from Columbia University. The firm designed several notable
public and commercial buildings in New York City.

ST.REGIS HOTEL MUMBAI

Located in the heart of Indias Maximum City, The St. Regis Mumbai, the
countrys tallest hotel tower, is a timeless address in the citys premier
entertainment and commercial district of Lower Parel.

The hotel offers 395 well-appointed guest rooms including 27 suites and 39
Residential Suites, each of which has stunning views of the city or the Arabian
sea. All resident guests enjoy the uncompromising service of the St. Regis
Butler, a first in the country. Guests can delight in world-class local and
international cuisines including Indian, Japanese, Pan Asian and European in the
Hotels 4 speciality restaurants and the highest bar and nightclub in the
country. Offering convenient access to the commercial districts
of Parel and Worli. The St. Regis Mumbai has been rightfully called "The
Address" as it is located in the heart of the 'commercial capital' of India. St. Regis
Mumbai is the new social epicenter for conducting businesses in the financial
capital of India.
The St. Regis, of course, belongs in the wealth column. It thrums with Bombays
rising affluence. Its not for nothing that the hotel was gearing up for the
prestigious Lakm Fashion Week when I stayed there last month, merely some
four months after it opened. (I stayed as a guest of the hotel). The models and
Bollywood stars who were starting to show up seemed right at home.

(A quick note on names: While the hotel shares the citys current official, less
colonial name of Mumbai, most people I met still call their hometown by its
British-era name of Bombay.)

Although the building has classic bonesand the grand staircase that sweeps
down from the mezzanine to the lobby suggests old-world Indian luxury and is a
St. Regis hallmarkthe overall feeling is contemporary, and the demographic
seems younger than at the grandes dames. The 386 guest rooms and suites are
modern and understated, even as the butlers wear white gloves and make a big
show of sabering off the top of a bottle of champagne during an evening ritual
several nights a week.

Wellness takes a big role here, as the spa, fitness center and outdoor pool
occupy an entire floor. But instead of traditional Indian Ayurveda, the emphasis at
the Iridium Spa (a brand being rolled out across St. Regis) is on Western-style
luxury treatments with products from the high-end Hungarian line Omorovicza.

The hotel looked abroad for most of its dining venues too. In the kind of glammed
up, upper-floor dining rooms you might find in New York or Dubai, East Asian
leaning chefs turn out high-concept tasting plates. An elegant avocado tartare
served on a bed of ice, and salmon on fire, which is exactly what it sounds like,
were standouts at the Japanese restaurant Yuuka, which was created by chef
Ting Yen of Bostons Oishii. The Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese fare at By the
Mekong includes a selection of ethereal dumplings. Three bars on the top floors
and roof are booming well into the night. (The exception to the restaurant rule is
the Sahib Room & Kipling Bar, which feels straight out of the Raj, with starched
white tablecloths, cut crystal and atmosphere of pin-drop quietI was self-
conscious about having a conversation.)

At the all-day restaurant Seven Kitchens, dozens of chefs man at least seven
stations, cooking all kinds of cuisine to order. Sunday brunch is an all-out
indulgence, with roasts of all sorts (except beefthis is India), a raw bar with
shellfish galore, lavish and dessert stations and free-flowing Champagne.

tomato juice cocktail at The St. Regis New York's King Cole Bar. Originally

so as not to offend the hotel's refined clientele. More than 80 years later, the

Food and Beverage service is the most important part of the hotel. As, the name
explains itself; it is the service of food and beverages either in the restaurant, in
room dining, banquets etc. The employee needs to have knowledge of the food,
availability of food, serving as per portions. This department of the hotel interacts
directly with the hotel so employees need to be at their best behavior and
grooming also has to be perfect and has to have the perfect waiting kit with them
for the service to run smoothly.

repeat business to win. Other clients will be from the general public - perhaps
planning a once-in-a-lifetime event, such as a wedding.
Your job is to ensure your team meets the requirements of each client, whether
they want a small anniversary party for 50, a glamorous wedding for 120, or a
high profile corporate dinner for 600 or more. And in a large hotel or venue, all of
those events may be happening on the same day.
A banquet managers job begins after the event sale is made, the contract is

description.

Banquet server informally known as cater waiters, are wait staff that work for
big catering events and banquets. This is different from restaurant servers,
because there is typically only one service per event, and banquet servers will
serve every table at the same time, from tens to hundreds of people. Working
with the catering staff, who prepare each course at the same time, banquet
servers must make sure each course is delivered as quickly as possible. Banquet
servers keep glasses filled, remove each round of plates and answer any
questions from guests. Some banquets servers will have to take orders for each
table, if there are multiple meal choices.

A great job title typically includes a general term, level of experience and any
special requirements. The general term will optimize your job title to show up in a
general search for jobs of the same nature. The level of experience will help you
attract the most qualified applicants by outlining the amount of responsibility and
prior knowledge required. And if your position is specialized, consider including
the specialization in the job title as well.

servers and the cooking staff to make a great dining experience. Being a
team player is essential.
Cleanliness: Nobody wants their food delivered by a slob. Being clean and
neat when serving food and drinks will help create a great first impression to
your customers.

Employed by a catering service or a hotel, banquet servers are roaming non-


standard waiters and waitresses. In a typical restaurant setting, the wait staff
will have tables they are assigned to cover, but banquet servers are

requests are common required tasks.
Banquet servers set up for events, carry trays, serve guests, and clean up at
the event's conclusion. Set up can include putting out tablecloths and place
settings, arranging table placement and putting up a buffet. A banquet
server's duties during the event can vary based on the situation, but, in

moving about freely, which can include bending, climbing stairs, and carrying
items weighing 25-50 pounds.
Good communication is important, as is being able to follow directions
efficiently and meeting the physical demands of the job. A positive attitude
while on the job is also essential. Banquet servers must adhere to health and
safety standards at all times, even when closing down at the end of the event,
which may include breaking down the table set up and taking tablecloths and
linens to the laundry.
Customer service or waiter experience is a good foundation for a job as a
banquet server. While no official degree or training is required, some
employers prefer to hire someone with a high school diploma or GED
certificate. Training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may also make a
banquet-serving candidate more appealing. A banquet server must be able to

FRONT OFFICE (MY EXPERIENCES)
th th
I trained in this department from 10 to 15 October. I didnt get to learn much as
I trained only for 5 days, but I observed a lot & its was a different experience. I
was training in the BSD department wherein I had to take guests requests to the
room and also escorting guests to the room, and also doing floor rounds to check
if any the BSD items are found on top by housekeeping staff after guest usage. I
filled hotlogs ( these are records written by BSD call taker when they took the call
& mentions the guest name as well as the item that was sent on top), so I had to
enter this on computer on a starwood site. I filled C-Forms as well on the
computer.

THINGS I LEARNT/OBSERVED IN FRONT OFFICE

I observed I observed the verbiage that is used to greet the guest/guest


request- if a guest request then the verbiage is ( good evening (guest name
that shows on the computer)Thank you for calling the butler service desk ..
How may I help you/be of youre assistance ?, if a guest has called up for an
enquiry regarding the hotel and the call gets transferred by default to BSD
then the verbiage is ( thank you for calling the St. Regis Mumbai, this is
(name of the person who has received the call), how may I be of youre
assistance.?), and if the call has to be transferred to another department (If
you allow me to please connect the call to the concerned department, my
colleague will assist you with the same, Thank you )
I observed the various documents filled such as medical disclaimer, hot logs,
wake-up call sheet, an apology letter, bell desk (arrival & departure) errand
card, concierge- parcel/message letter, C-forms
I observed the different policies such as check-in/check-out policy, age

INTRODUCTION
Food processing is the transformation of cooked ingredients, by physical or
chemical means into food, or of food into other forms. Food processing combines
raw food ingredients to produce marketable food products that can be easily
prepared and served by the consumer. Food processing typically involves
activities such as mincing and macerating, liquefaction, emulsification,
and cooking(such as boiling, broiling, frying, or grilling); pickling, pasteurization,
and many other kinds of preservation; and canning or other packaging. (Primary-
processing such as dicing, slicing, freezing or drying when leading to secondary
products are also included.) Food Production Workers work in various facilities
serving food and are mainly responsible for preparing meals. Some usual work
duties these employees perform are receiving food items, storing food properly,
operating food processing equipment, maintaining supplies, mixing ingredients,
and assessing food items quality.

COMMIS 1 2 3
A commis chef position is the ideal job for someone fresh out of culinary school.
It is a junior or apprentice chef position, and provides the novice chef with an
invaluable opportunity to learn about working in every area of the kitchen.
The primary objective of the commis chef is to learn how to work in every area of
the kitchen. In order to accomplish this, a commis chef rotates throughout the
kitchen, spending six months or so at one kitchen station before moving on to a
different one. At each kitchen station, the commis chef has the opportunity to
learn from a different senior chef who is in charge of that area. As a commis
chef develops their skills as they rotate throughout the kitchen, they will consider
which area they want to eventually specialize in.

This can be a challenging position, as the beginning chef is expected to absorb a


great deal of information in a short amount of time. It can also be a difficult job
because all of a commis chefs training is conducted on the clock in the kitchen,
which is often a high-stress work environmentespecially during busy meal
times. In light of this, a commis chef (like all chef types) must be able to work
under pressure in order to succeed in his or her role.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Working as a commis chef involves learning a lot of different skills in a short


amount of time and then practicing those skills by implementing them in actual
tasks throughout the kitchen. The most successful commis chefs are fast fast
learners who actively develop their skills and are not afraid to ask senior chefs as
many questions as necessary.

A commis chef will work on many different teams before they move on to a
higher chef role; therefore, a commis chef must be able to effectively
communicate with other members of the kitchen staff. This includes being able to
gracefully receive constructive criticism as well as effectively carry out orders.
Additionally, a commis chef also needs to be able to remain calm while multi-
tasking, as they are often called upon to carry out many different orders
simultaneously in a brief amount of time.
Although the commis chef is one of the lowest-ranking members of the kitchen
staff, it is still an important role. The decisions that the commis chef makes in his
or her role will impact the quality of food that the kitchen produces.

Like all members of the kitchen staff, the commis chef must maintain high
standards of health and safety, including personal hygiene. The commis chef
must also perform many basic tasks of food preparation and organization in the
kitchen. Sometimes these tasks will seem mundane; however, they are still vital
to the successful operation of the kitchen.

QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED

A high standard of spoken and written English.


Flexible working hours subject to the demands of the business.

TYPES OF KITCHEN

A kitchen is a room or part of a room used for cooking and food preparation in a
dwelling or in a commercial establishment. In the West, a modern residential
kitchen is typically equipped with a stove, a sink with hot and cold running water,
a refrigerator, counters and kitchen cabinets arranged according to a modular
design. Many households have a microwave oven, a dishwasher and other
electric appliances. The main function of a kitchen is serving as a location for
storing, cooking and preparing food (and doing related tasks such
as dishwashing), but it may also be used for dining, entertaining and laundry.
Commercial kitchens are found in restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, hospitals,
educational and workplace facilities, army barracks, and similar establishments.
These kitchens are generally larger and equipped with bigger and more heavy-
duty equipment than a residential kitchen. For example, a large restaurant may
have a huge walk-in refrigerator and a large commercial dishwasher machine. In
developed countries, commercial kitchens are generally subject to public
health laws. They are inspected periodically by public-health officials, and forced
to close if they do not meet hygienic requirements mandated by law.
The first step in deciding on the size, space and location of your new commercial
kitchen is to look at the type of kitchen you need. The type of food you are
producing, the place where the food will be served, how thee food will be served
and the style of service you wish to achieve

CAF, RESTAURANT AND BISTRO


A caf restaurant or bistro requires efficient use of space as space is of a
premium as the business is usually in a densely populated area, rents are often
high, and the operator prefers seating space to kitchen space to maximize profit.
The kitchen will usually require a large cooking bank, storage area, prep area,
combined pot wash and dishwashing area, and bin wash areas.
The operator will decide what items will be bought in and what items will be made
in house based on the style and clientele.
These kitchens tend to be open plan so customers can see the activity of the
chefs, adding to the theatre of the dining experience. Even fine dining restaurants
now have at least some shops of the chefs preparing meals.
TAKEAWAY
Takeaway outlets have most of the same ingredients as the caf, restaurant and
bistro kitchen, but are often smaller and dont always require dishwashing
function as food is served in disposable containers, or crockery washing is
managed in a central location as in some food courts

LARGE ACCOMMODATION HOTELS AND RESORTS

Hotels will require large kitchens with areas open 24 hours a day often with
separate areas for larder, patisserie, and banqueting.
Dispense bars may be closed from view, as are the kitchen themselves.
Access is required for trolleys into and out of the kitchen, including room service
trolleys, banquet service carts, satellite kitchen service carts in addition to
general high volume trolleys for moving raw and finished food around the kitchen.
Large walkaway and access areas are essential for wheeling of trolleys and for
fire egress.
Large storage areas, bin wash, and conveyor dish wash areas along with
specialized pot washing equipment are key features of a hotel kitchen.
The main hotel kitchen often supports a separate bistro kitchen for individual
restaurants of the hotels site.
SATELLITE KITCHEN
Satellite Kitchen is constructed and established to cater to a particular outlet
where the main kitchen cannot cater due to its location disadvantage. Largely,
this kitchen can organize most of the preparation work in its own kitchen.
However, it may depend upon the main kitchen for various other things such as
sauce, stocks, gravies, pastas, etc. usually such a chef commands over this
kitchen. This kitchen becomes a must for specialty restaurants such as
Continental, Mexican, Chinese are located away from the main kitchen.
MAIN KITCHEN
Main Kitchen is located mainly at the central part of the hotel where overall
sequence of food receiving, storing, producing, preparing, cooking, serving, and
clearing areas are properly designed and managed. Technically, it is known as
central kitchen having many sections. Hence, it may occupy a large space. This
kitchen provides wide range of food varieties e.g. Indian, Continental, Oriental,
Mexican, Italian, etc. through its respective section with the help of skilled/semi-
skilled culinary crafts persons called chef-de-parties and commie cooks.

A main kitchen is usually located adjacent to room service, store, pantry


stillroom, breaks, butchery etc. for efficient work flow. It may have both a la carte
and table dhtel menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This kitchen may serve
up to three or four line dining restaurants simultaneously. There are often a
separate kitchen for banquet and other activities.
COMMISSARY KITCHEN
A commissary kitchen is the backbone of the kitchen as most of the pre-
preparation of food is done here. This kitchen does the basic mise en place or
large-scale operations, such as banqueting, and so it is very important to have a
well-spaced work area as there would be heavy movement of staff.

This kitchen also uses specialized machines such as, pulverizers, which are
used for making pastes and powders for curries, etc. Certain fruits and
vegetables that cannot be stored in the walk-in are stored here and provided to
the kitchens on basis of requisitions. In many hotels this kitchen forms a part of
the store and hence, control becomes easy
BUTCHERY
Butchery is the biggest money holding center of the hotel operations; though it
does not make money directly, it is indirectly responsible for maintaining the food
cost. This section of the kitchen stores and processes most expensive meats
which are both local and imported.

Hence, a well-planned butchery operation is a must for a profitable food busi-


ness. Butchery, in various hotels are part of food stores; as they process all the
meats and store them for usage in the kitchen against food requisitions.

Separate walk-ins and separate work stations are provided for separate meats as
there could be chances of food contamination.
GARDE MANGER
Garde in French means to keep and manger means to eat, so garde manger
literally means kept cold to be eaten. This kitchen is called cold kitchen as foods
such as sandwiches, salads, juices are prepared and served out from this
kitchen.

This kitchen is always a part of the main kitchen as it not only serves a la carte
and banquet, but is also responsible for room amenities, welcome drink to the
guests and many other support roles for other kitchens.
BAKERY AND PASTRY
Bakery and confectionery is a very important section of the kitchen, as this
department operates round the clock and is the busiest operation. It produces
breakfast rolls for the morning breakfast, cakes and pastries for the pastry shop,
and also the a la carte desserts of various restaurants and banqueting
operations. There is a separate chocolate room which produces chocolates and
garnishes.
THE SHOW KICTHEN ( DISPLAY KITCHEN )
Show kitchens also known as display kitchens, are the most modern trends in
todays restaurants. These kitchens not only add a style statement to the
business but also act as a marketing tool, telling the guests that the food
prepared here is fresh and hygienic. The guests do not complain about the delay
in food, as they can see their meals being cooked in front of their eyes. The idea
of having a show kitchen as a feature of the restaurant is very commonly seen in
modern hotels, where the live cooking by chefs acts as a USP. An Oriental show
kitchen serves food from entire South-East Asia. Its menu is very elaborate and if
not well planned it would be chaotic to cook here. This section serves food from
China, Japan, Thailand, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia. While designing show
kitchens it is important to decide what should be visible to the guest and what
should be skillfully masked away. For example, a station where a skilled chef is
cooking teppanyaki or carving a Peking duck is a far better sight than someone
handling raw poultry or fish. Show kitchens use best of equipment as the guests
can see them and the maintenance cost of the same is very high as compared to
the equipment of the normal kitchens. The staff working here needs to be very
skilled and the design of the uniforms must also blend with the entire ambience.
Food courts in various malls are examples of display kitchens.
SEVEN KITCHENS
This is a display kitchen serving 7 types of cuisine. Guests can savor Italian,
Oriental, Indian, Japanese and Mediterranean cuisines from a variety of live
cooking stations. Currently 7 kitchens is known for its Sunday Champagne

BAKERY (MY EXPERIENCES)

th th
I trained in the bakery from the 20 of July till 30 of July. It was a great
experience while I trained in this department. I got to work at the live stations. I

and eggless mixture), selling different type of Candies such as Fizzy Cola, Sour
Strawberry Bites, Fizzy Jelly, Fizzy Peaches, Teddy Bears, Mini Multicoloured

bakery I also got to work in live station selling tacos (mushrooms
&corn/chicken/lamb/fish), sandwiches (veg/chicken/lamb), sushis (veg/non-

THINGS I LEARNT/OBSERVED IN BAKERY

I observed how to use the dough sheeter-. Dough is compressed between


two or more rotating rollers. When done the right way, a smooth and
consistent dough sheet is produced. The dough then passes one or several
gauging rollers that reduce the dough to the required thickness. Machine
Company name- RONDO

I observed how to use dough divider- A dough divider helps you divide the
dough into equal portions to ensure proper cooking of all the portions.
Example so that the bread dough is divided so that each bread roll would
bake evenly. Machine Company name- CAPTAIN

I observed how the universal dough machine is used- Its a machine used for
mixing dough. It helps in bulk quantity cooking & it comes in various sizes.
Machine Company name- HOBART

I learnt how and why is it important to do tagging for all that we make and
store in the walk-in.
