Table Service:
Customer is seated and menu is presented to the guest, service and clearance is provided by the staff. It is the most common service that is followed in a normal restaurant. Under table service we have following different Services:
1. Silver Service/English Service: Often referred to as "Host Service" because the host plays an active role in the service. Food is brought on pattern by the waiter and shown to the guest for approval, after that food is served and is also cleared by the waiter afterwards. Service is done according to the various courses.
2. Family Service: Here the main courses are pre-plated in the dishes with the accompaniments, placed on the table, for the customers to help themselves.
3. Plated/Pre-plated/American Service: As the name suggests, the food is pre plated and the service is to be done from the right hand side of the guest.
4. Butler/French Service: The food once brought inside the restaurant is presented in front of the guest individually, but the service is done by the guest itself, the food may be carved by the waiter as per the suggestion of the guest, and the customer have to help themselves.
5. Russian Service: The food is not presented in front of the guest, simply laid and the customers need to help themselves. Usually large joints are served in this style of service.
6. Gueridon: This is a service done where a dish comes, partially prepared from the kitchen, to be completed in the restaurant by the waiter. The cooking is done on a gueridon trolley, which is a mobile trolley, also sometimes known as Flambé Trolley.
7. Bar Counter: Often a U-shaped bar with well designed stools for the customers to be seated and enjoy the alcohol and non alcoholic drinks.
