Before opening your own catering outlet, you need to decide exactly what kind of establishment it will be. On this page we invite you to familiarize yourself with the generally accepted types of catering establishments. Any restaurateur simply must have a perfect understanding of not only managing his cafe, but also all the intricacies of the restaurant business. And his excellent knowledge of the classification of alcoholic beverages and, accordingly, the methods of serving these drinks will greatly help him in this.

Restaurant

The restaurant stands at the highest level of the public catering system. The restaurant is a place of elite relaxation and fine dining. Excellent table settings, cutlery, napkins, flowers, quality service, a varied and original menu with signature dishes are a must here.

The restaurant menu necessarily consists of several items: cold and hot appetizers, salads, first courses, second courses, specialties, dessert, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

The restaurant provides a table reservation service.

The restaurant's interior is designed in a certain style, corresponding to the name. Exquisite furniture, unusual lighting, a variety of expensive dishes - all these are mandatory attributes of a modern restaurant.

Bistro

A typical bistro is something between a small inexpensive restaurant and a cafe. The word bistro refers to an establishment where a visitor can have a good meal without expecting any special sophistication of the dishes or a variety of menu. They offer inexpensive, quickly prepared meals.

When it comes to drinks, the bistro places an emphasis on non-alcoholic drinks: tea, coffee, juices, mineral water, milkshakes.

coffee house

A coffee shop is a type of bistro. Usually this is not a very large room, arranged in such a way as to create comfort and a relaxed atmosphere.

The main difference between coffee shops and other establishments is the wide selection of coffee. People are happy to come to a coffee shop to drink their favorite drink, find a cozy atmosphere, and chat with friends.

A good reason for the popularity of the “coffee” business is the small investment in equipment (compared to a regular restaurant). A coffee shop does not require expensive stoves, complex devices such as a combi oven, or a whole staff of cooks. The main equipment is a professional coffee machine, a coffee grinder, various additional small devices (mixer, blender, cups, etc.) and refrigeration equipment. This is why a small coffee shop can pay for itself in just one or two years.

In addition to pleasant communication and good customer service, a very important component for a coffee shop is the menu, which in a coffee shop is called a coffee card or coffee menu. They provide a list of coffee and coffee drinks with detailed descriptions and prices.

Coffee and coffee drinks in coffee shops are prepared by specially trained baristos.

To prepare coffee in coffee shops, both traditional Turks and special coffee machines are used.

Here are the main types of coffee drinks.

Espresso . Water vapor under high pressure passed through finely ground coffee.

Cappuccino . Made with espresso (1/3 coffee, 1/3 milk, 1/3 foam).

Latte. Espresso with plenty of hot milk added.

Irish coffee. It's espresso with chocolate and whipped cream. Chocolate syrup is often used to prepare it.

Americano. This is espresso heavily diluted with water.

Glasse. This is espresso with ice cream.

The coffee shop serves salads and hot dishes to complement coffee, but the main emphasis is on sweets, pastries and desserts.

Tavern

Taverns tend to differ in their design. Being old or antique-style establishments, they are easily recognizable among the many modern bars, snack bars, restaurants, cafes, pubs and so on. On the walls there are usually antique utensils, weapons, old photographs and, of course, photos with autographs of famous bullfighters who once visited this establishment.

A tavern is not just a place where people go to eat and drink. This is a place for pleasant meetings with friends, acquaintances and intimate conversations, including with the owner of the tavern, who usually not only gives advice on what to eat, but can also support any conversation.

Cafe

One of the most common catering establishments is a cafe.

Currently, the word cafe refers to establishments of various levels. The prices for food in the cafe are not high, which is achieved primarily due to the range of dishes offered: this is either traditional national cuisine, or instant semi-finished products, as well as inexpensive drinks and snacks.

Large cafes are designed for the general public: families come here, students and adults visit them. Therefore, a cafe often has several rooms: a social room, a children's room and a bar.

Instead of chairs, cafes sometimes use bench seats. The children's room may have a playground with toys or mini-attractions.

Pizzeria

A pizzeria is a catering establishment that necessarily has its own kitchen, since there is always fresh pizza that is made quickly and efficiently.

Like any catering establishment, a pizzeria must be equipped with powerful refrigeration equipment.

However, the main equipment for a pizzeria is the oven. Today, pizzerias often use microwave and microwave ovens, which are larger in size and reduce baking time.

Also, the main equipment for a pizzeria can be called blenders, food processors, dough mixers, etc.

Often all the necessary machines are combined into a single complex.

Kebab house

A barbecue shop is a common type of specialized enterprise. The barbecue menu has at least three or four types of kebabs with different side dishes and sauces, as well as lula kebab, chakhokhbili, chicken tapaka, first courses - kharcho and others National dishes which are in great demand among visitors.

According to the nature of the establishment, it must have equipment for preparing these dishes.

To prepare shish kebab from meat or fish, you need a spit, a skewer on which the pieces will be strung raw product. The length of these items should depend directly on the size of the grill or any other equipment for preparing this dish. Firewood or coals for frying are placed in the grill. In other words, the grill can be called a brazier. It is an iron stove filled with hot coals.

A skewer is a thin metal or hewn wooden rod. One of its ends should be pointed so that pieces of meat or fish can be strung better. Most often, ready-made kebab is served on skewers. However, it is fashionable to remove it from the skewers and serve it in a dish.

Shish kebab is prepared mainly from marinated meat. To prepare this dish, it is recommended to use the meat of a young animal, since the heat treatment on coals will not be too long, and the meat of an old animal may not be cooked enough. Kebab meat largely depends on the time it is soaked in the marinade.

After the preparatory stage has been completed, pieces of meat are put on a spit mixed with onions, cut into rings, and fried over coals burning without a flame. During the frying process, if the flame begins to flare up, it is extinguished by sprinkling with water diluted with vinegar, or pouring wine over it.

Pancake house

As the name suggests, the main product offered at the pancake house is pancakes and pancakes. The difference between pancakes and pancakes lies primarily in the method of preparing the dough. Pancake dough is prepared without using yeast. The pancakes have a more delicate taste, they are thinner, and they even “crunch” at the edges. The finely porous surface of the pancake perfectly absorbs sour cream, butter, honey and any sauce, so they are greased with a brush.

Pancakes are prepared using yeast. They are thicker and more filling. Pancakes are often filled with meat, mushrooms, cottage cheese, red caviar or salmon.

One of the varieties of pancakes is a pancake pie, that is, several pancakes stacked on top of each other and interlaced with various fillings. Such stacks of pancakes are greased on the sides with a mixture of eggs, flour and milk so that the minced meat does not fall out, and lightly fried in the oven.

There are special requirements for a pancake kitchen. Undoubtedly, the pancake shop should be equipped with good refrigeration units. In addition, the pancake shop must have a cool, clean, well-ventilated room for storing bulk products. To prepare pancakes you need a hot shop with good ventilation. This workshop houses specialized equipment for preparing pancakes.

Fast food restaurant

Fast food represents the fastest growing sector of the foodservice industry. They typically concentrate on foods with universal appeal such as hamburgers, chicken, poultry and ice cream. Many fast food operators are expanding their standards to provide greater choice and meet changing demand, such as vegetable salads and appetizers, French fries, Italian spaghetti, French croissants, etc.

The packaging of takeaway dishes has an excellent commercial appearance, and the company's style is also expressed in napkins, containers and bags.

Positioning in high traffic areas is very important for fast food businesses. In addition, they need ample parking and a wide, eye-catching entrance. Very often, such establishments are opened in large supermarkets and shopping centers.

Investment costs in fast food enterprises are quite high due to a number of reasons:

- the design is part of an integrated product, including detailed specifications of decorative style, equipment, uniforms:

— depreciation is high, the life cycle of equipment and furniture is very short (3-5 years);

- specific equipment meets high standards with automatic control, fast recovery and high service requirements. Basically, computer control includes both production and accounting.

Trattoria

Trattoria are restaurants offering a variety of traditional and popular Italian cuisine. Very often they offer a wide selection of wine. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is informal and relaxed.

Cafeterias.

Ice cream parlors, grill bars, sushi bars, barbecues are all cafeterias and have specialized equipment and menus. It is customary here to use self-service from counters on which products with prices are located. To ensure self-service, the food line is positioned in such a way that it is convenient for service personnel and visitors to approach it, and the location itself is a noticeable design characteristic.

The pub takes 40% of regular evening customers, compared to 15% at lunchtime. Pub visits by men are typically 2 to 2.5 times higher than by women, with a high percentage of younger clientele. In addition, the occupancy of pubs is not uniform over time: peak sales occur after 21-00, especially from Friday to Sunday.

The basis of pub decor is Victorian or Edwardian styles: dark warm colors, good lighting and exquisite glass. The pub's personality is enhanced by wall hangings, ornamentation and personal touches introduced to create a welcoming atmosphere.

The emphasis in bars is on alcoholic drinks. There are several types of bars. One of the most common is a beer bar. Beer is produced by fermenting grain. Malt (sprouted and dried barley grains), yeast, hops and water are the main components of any beer. Beer is divided into ale, leger and stout. They differ in fermentation technology: using the “top fermentation” technology, ale is obtained, while the “bottom fermentation” technology produces lager, which is lighter and more saturated with carbon dioxide than ale. Stout is the darkest and heaviest beer.

The bars serve hot and cold snacks with beer.

In the wine bar, the main emphasis is on the most diverse and rich bouquets of wines. Wines are served in bottles and poured from barrels. In such a bar, the bartender (called a sommelier) has special requirements: he must have an excellent understanding of wines and be able to choose the right wine for the client.

Wine classification

Grape wine- an alcoholic drink obtained by complete or partial fermentation of grape must (juice), grape pulp (a mixture of juice, stems and crushed berries) and whole berries, strength (alcohol content) which should be at least 8.5% vol. Special wines are prepared with the addition of ethyl alcohol and a number of other substances permitted for use by winemaking legislation.

Classification of wine depending on the raw material and the method of its processing.

Grape wines are divided into single-varietal, if they are prepared from the same variety of grapes, and multi-varietal. , if their composition includes several partners. When producing single-varietal wines, it is allowed to use no more than 15% of grapes or wine materials from other varieties. Multi-varietal wines, depending on the method of preparation, can be selected and blended. Seed wines are prepared from grapes that are processed in the form of a mixture of grape varieties in certain ratios. (fermentation together with several varieties.) Blended wines are prepared by mixing already prepared wine materials (grape varieties are fermented separately).

Classification of wine depending on color grapes

Distinguish white, pink And red grape wines:

White wines- their color ranges from light straw with a greenish tint (young dry ones) to dark amber (dessert and fortified ones). With a nonsense, a long-standing, they’re joking a long time: they will also have a lot to take a time. Yantap.

Rose wines– color from light pink, flesh to dark pink, light ruby.

Red wines– their color ranges from dark ruby ​​with a violet-gray tint (young ones) to dark garnet with a brownish-brick tint in the thin upper layer (aged ones). With prolonged aging, the color intensity of red wines decreases and aged wines are always lighter than young ones.

Classification of wine depending on quality and aging time.

All wines, depending on quality and aging time, are divided into two groups:

Ordinary wines(ordinary typical) are wines produced from different varieties of grapes. For such wines, the growth of grapes is not regionally regulated. The wines are produced using generally accepted technology. Such wines are not stored for a long time and their sale, as a rule, occurs no later than six months after they are stored (maximum storage duration is until July 1 next year after the harvest.).

Ordinary wines, depending on the timing of sale, are divided into:

— Young wines— natural table wines sold before January 1 of the year following the grape harvest.

— Wine without aging- receive the same as young ones, but are sold after January 1 of the year following the grape harvest.

High quality wines– these are wines of improved quality, which are produced in the most favorable years for grape ripening. They are obtained from certain high-quality varieties of grapes, and the growth of grapes is regionally regulated, and it is cultivated in certain regions (microzones), where e nature has created optimal conditions for the growth of specific grape varieties. When harvesting grapes, for these wines, careful control and selection of raw materials is required for the quality of sugar content and varietal composition, and it is processed at the place of harvest. The wines are produced using traditional or special technologies. A feature of the technology of such wines is their long aging in large (metal tanks or oak barrels) or small (glass bottles) containers, resulting in However, their organoleptic properties increase. These wines are characterized by constant, high quality, maintained from year to year. The alcohol content (strength) of high-quality wines should be at least 10% vol.

Depending on the aging period and the containers used for this, high-quality wines are divided into 3 groups:

— Aged wines- wine of improved quality with mandatory aging in large stationary containers before bottling for at least 6 months (counting from January 1 of the year following the harvest ).

— Vintage wines- high quality wines, the duration of aging of which in large stationary containers should be at least 1.5 years for vintage table wines and at least 2 years for branded strong and desiccant wines local wines (counting from January 1 of the year following the harvest).

— Collection wines- these are the best vintage wines, which, after the end of the aging period in oak tape or metal tanks, are additionally bottled and aged in special conditions of enotec no less three years old.

Some wines produced in certain wine-growing regions are distinguished by unusual aroma and taste properties. As a result of this, in winemaking there was a need to separate such wines into a separate category of wines “with a controlled name of origin.” To the wines c controlled appellation of origin include high quality wines, distinguished original organoleptic properties, obtained using special or traditional technologies, from certain varieties of grapes growing in strictly regulated areas (microzones), which are characterized by the most favorable soil and climatic conditions for the growth of these grape varieties. The name of such wines must indicate the name of the area in which the grapes are collected and these wines are produced. According to the law, such wines have no right to be produced anywhere else. ( Negru, Rosu de Purcari, Romanesti.)

Production classification of wines

Characterizes wine according to certain physico-chemical and technological parameters:

- wine classification depending on carbon dioxide content.

One of the main characteristics of wines is their carbon dioxide content. According to this criterion, grape wines are divided into two large groups: still wines– not containing carbon dioxide or containing it in an insignificant amount; sparkling or effervescent- having CO2 in excess.

Wines containing an excessive amount of carbon dioxide are divided into: artificially saturated with carbon dioxide – carbonated saturated with carbon dioxide through primary fermentation – natural sparkling and saturated with carbon dioxide through secondary fermentation - sparkling products using the classical method(fermentation in bottles) and sparkling products using the traditional method(fermentation in large hermetically sealed reservoirs).

— according to alcohol contentthere are wines:

Table (natural) wines — are obtained by complete or partial alcoholic fermentation of grape bunches, pulp or wort and contain ethyl alcohol obtained as a result of natural fermentation. They contain 8.5-14% vol. alcohol.

Fortified (special) wines — (strong and dessert) are produced by incomplete fermentation of grapes, pulp or wort with the further addition of ethyl alcohol, as well as from wine materials using special new technological methods that impart specific organoleptic properties. Strong wines contain more alcohol (17-20% vol.) and less sugar (up to 14 g/100 ml), and dessert, on the contrary, - less alcohol - 12-17% vol., and more sugar - up to 35 g/100 ml.

— classification of wines by content caxapa.

Table (natural) wines:

- dry table wines. Their main features are the complete absence of sugar and low alcohol content (10-12%). The wine material obtained after fermentation is never alcoholized. When making white wines, the juice previously pressed from the grapes is fermented. According to the red method, wine is made as follows: the juice is not separated from crushed berries, but is fermented on the pulp, i.e. along with berries. And only then is all this fermented mass squeezed out under pressure.

- table semi-dry, semi-sweet wines. They become such because the fermentation process is artificially interrupted by sudden cooling of the fermenting wort. At the same time, 11-13% alcohol accumulates in it and 3-8% sugar remains.

Fortified (special) wines - Alcohol is added to the fermenting wort. At this point, fermentation stops, and exactly as much unfermented sugar as necessary remains in the wort. Fortified wines are divided into strong, dessert and aromatized.

— strong wines. Strong wines include port, madera, xepec, and marsala.

Port wine contains, as a rule, 17-20% alcohol and 7-14% alcohol. About 10% of the alcohol is natural alcohol, the rest is alcohol added during alcoholization. This drink was first produced in Portugal, near the city of Porto. A characteristic feature of the wine is the tones of dried fruits in the aroma. This is achieved through long-term aging of wine in barrels, in rooms (heat chambers) at high temperatures (up to 40 degrees), or outside (on sunny areas) in the hot summer. Duration of aging is 1-2 years.

Madepa . For the first time it was received on o. Madera (Portugal). The peculiarity of the wine is the specific tone of roasted nuts in the aroma. The wine is prepared in the same way as Port wine, the difference is in the variety of grapes and in the duration of aging, which is 3-4 years. After aging, the content of caxap and alcohol is brought to the desired condition. The Portuguese madeira contains 18-19% alcohol, the English one has about 32% alcohol and up to 2% sugar.

Herec . (After the name of the city of Jerez de la Frontera in Spain). Alcohol up to 20%, caxap - up to 3%. During production, already fermented and alcoholized wine material is aged in incomplete barrels under a film of special yeast cells, which, absorbing ethyl alcohol and oxygen, Acetaldehyde is released into wine, giving the drink a characteristic mushroom aroma or the smell of roasted nuts.

Marsala — was first received on the island of Sicily in the city of Marsala. To obtain it, ethyl alcohol and grape juice boiled over an open fire are added to the wine material after fermentation, which gives the wine a peculiar taste of ship tar and caramel. It may be for this reason that the wine was very popular among sailors of the sailing fleet (in particular among pirates.) Conditions: alcohol - 18-20% vol, saxap - 15-70 g/dm.

— dessert wines. Fortified dessert wines are divided into semi-sweet, sweet And liqueur. Sweet wines contain up to 20% caxapa, and liqueur wines up to 32%. The main types of dessert wines are: Cahors, Muscat, Tokay And Malaga. The intense color of the cagora is obtained by heating the pulp to 60 degrees. Malaga— Spanish liqueur wine, caxap 20-30%.

— aromatized wines (vermouth) They also come in strong and dessert varieties. Strong vermouths are prepared with the addition of ethyl alcohol up to 16-18% vol., sugar - up to 6-10 g/100 ml and infusions of various plants, dessert - in the same way, but with different conditions: alcohol — 16% vol. and caxap - 16 g/100 ml.

Industry as a service

Today there are a huge number of catering establishments around the world. This includes bars, all kinds of coffee shops, pizzerias and much, much more. They can also be classified into public and private enterprises. But it should be remembered that public catering is an area of ​​activity that is designed to feed people not only tasty, but also high-quality products. In its manifestation, this industry is the provision of services, and they must be performed at the proper level.

Not only human health, but also his life depends on this service. There is a lot of evidence for this opinion, and any adult tries to take it seriously. Of course, there have been cases where harm to health was caused not only to adults, but also to children. And for them, in turn, it is much more difficult for them to endure any diseases or infections. Some may object, but sometimes you can get a dangerous infection through food.

Relationship with trade

Trade and public catering are closely related. The thing is that the two industries in question largely depend on each other, excluding only some product options. The main goal of establishments is to make a profit. Trade also operates on this principle. Of course, not all retail establishments offer food products, but there are many such places. And such a business is relevant at any time.

People have always spent, are spending and will spend money on food. Public catering products in this case are very diverse. Catering establishments offer dishes from almost any cuisine in the world. And we have to strictly monitor the proper quality of these products. Otherwise, the establishment may not only suffer financially (lack of visitors, fines for poor quality, etc.), but also close due to strict recommendations of the relevant authorities or authorities.

Complying with GOSTs (30389-2013, 30389-95, etc.)

To carry out the work of public catering and the certification procedure for its services, it is necessary to comply with certain GOST standards. Public catering also undergoes a classification procedure, depending on the nature of the enterprise’s activities.

This includes many factors, ranging from service conditions and personnel qualifications, to the time of service to visitors (consumers) and the range of products sold. Of course, it is also necessary to provide all conditions for preserving the life and health of consumers, arrange driveways or pedestrian access to the enterprise, illuminate the surrounding area and landscape it. Compliance with these and many more requirements becomes the way to carry out this activity. Otherwise, the organization of a catering enterprise will probably not take place.

Product quality

Naturally, all conditions must be met to the maximum level. This will help not only attract consumers, but also save a lot of time, money and effort on correcting defects. Along with this, the quality of the products produced must always be taken into account. Public catering products must also be manufactured and meet certain standards. Each catering establishment may vary slightly, but the general principle must be followed.

Proper conditions for storing, processing, processing and manufacturing food are the key to the success of this enterprise. The existing procedure for such actions must be strictly observed. Surely anyone will want to use only high-quality products that have all the necessary properties. In situations where a manufacturer produces and sells a low-quality product, its financial performance decreases.

Shortage of specialists

Every enterprise has its own catering collection. Most cafes and restaurants face a huge problem that prevents them from achieving the desired results. What is it? Despite the fact that currently there are many specialized educational institutions and professional courses in the preparation of high-quality culinary products, not all specialists in this field are close to the ideal.

A simple example: a visitor comes to a restaurant and wants to put on the menu not only the name, composition and price of the dish he wants to order. What else does he need if all this is written on the menu? Calorie content of products! In order to register this item in the menu, we need specialists who can correctly draw up technological maps. Such employees are able to calculate tables of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates included in dishes. This is also an important criterion in conducting such a case.

Guidance document

A collection of recipes for public catering establishments is a guiding document. This document contains all the information that production chefs need to know. The weight and names of the products included in the dishes, volume and weight are indicated here. finished product(output), the size and procedure for applying waste standards during thermal and primary processing of products, consumption of raw materials, sequence of technological processes are established, temperature conditions preparing culinary products and dishes and much more.

Such documents are constantly updated and kept up to date with changes that occur in the industry. If a product contains any food additives, dyes, or preservatives, then the development of their formulation must undergo a mandatory approval procedure with regulatory authorities. It is necessary to indicate contraindications for the use of these supplements for certain human diseases.

Clear requirements

The catering recipe is compiled in a certain way so that the weight standards of the finished product take into account the losses that will occur as a result of processing or preparing the dish. All are also written down detailed conditions to heat treatment of vegetables. For some dishes, they must initially be boiled in the skin and only then separated from it; for others, they must first be peeled and then boiled. And these are not all the instructions for preparing and processing products.

As mentioned earlier, in different enterprises such standards are almost the same, but there are also differences. This depends precisely on what specific products these enterprises manufacture and sell. Of course, the actual recipe for dishes may vary in different establishments, and the cooking technique may not be the same. The main thing remains exactly how the products are stored and processed, and how accurately they comply with established standards. For failure to comply with these procedures, the establishment (enterprise) is subject to a fine or another form of liability.

Cooking difference

The collection of public catering recipes includes a huge number of different processes, product compositions, techniques for its preparation and processing. It would seem, why such detailed summaries of rules and regulations? It is clear that any cook knows his business and has certain skills in this activity. What should a cook who has changed his job do? In the previous place they prepared only dishes from Soviet times (for example), and in the new place they offer guests only exquisite dishes of European or Chinese cuisine.

Perhaps many of the components included in this or that dish have never been used by this cook and do not know how to prepare them correctly. Of course, in most cases there are special people who will teach you the necessary skills in cooking or serving a dish, but experience comes with age. If you clean or process a product incorrectly, it is very easy to harm the life and health of the consumer. And this is extremely serious.

Irreparable error

Catering is quite a painstaking job. This requires full awareness of the rigor of the process and an understanding that food is the most important criterion in this industry. There are cases where owners are forced to pay huge fines, close establishments, or even face criminal liability for non-compliance or violation of generally accepted norms. Yes, of course, if a piece of tile falls off at the entrance to an establishment, it’s not a big deal. They called a repairman, put him on glue - and that was the end of it.

And what awaits the owner in whom this situation occurs: a young man orders an expensive pizza with seafood and he comes across a particle (splinter) of a shell? She got there because the chef poorly processed a certain seafood product. And the result? Perhaps worst of all, the visitor will remain disabled. Why? Everything is very simple - a fragment can easily injure the esophagus, as a result of which the consequences can be very sad. Who will bear responsibility for what happened? How exactly will it be incurred? And will it be incurred at all? These questions belong to another topic, but the fact of a colossal mistake is obvious. And the worst thing is that the consumer could not prevent a similar situation, which was caused by the establishment’s specialist.

Personal choice

Yes, such an incident can happen in a private establishment, but are government institutions insured against such incidents? How many cases are there of mass poisonings in kindergartens and schools? There are a huge number of them! Canteens, of course, adhere to the necessary recipes of public catering establishments, so what's the matter? There can be many options. However, what is clear is that such situations should not happen. Using such illustrative examples, you can very well understand why and why detailed regulatory documents are drawn up. Products must not only be prepared correctly, but also stored, processed, processed, and the necessary rules must be followed.

Many people express the opinion that it is safer to cook and eat food at home, rather than risk their health and at the same time pay more money for it. However, one should not think so categorically. Still, for the most part, almost all catering establishments try to approach the process responsibly and make sure that everything is in order: a high-quality selection of the necessary personnel is carried out, only high-quality products for preparing dishes are purchased, and all sanitary standards are maintained.

Division into classes

In addition to the fact that there are various types of public catering establishments, there is also a class difference between them. Public catering is an industry that also has its own stratification into “thrifty” and “rich”. Classification occurs according to many parameters, such as the level and conditions of customer service, the quality of services provided, the qualifications of personnel, and the range of products offered.

But similar divisions into a certain class occur among restaurants, bars, and private enterprises. As a rule, cafes are not divided into classes. What are these classes and what are their differences? The first establishment has a harmonious and comfortable atmosphere, a certain selection of services, and an assortment of specialties and easily prepared drinks. Establishments upper class have a unique and comfortable atmosphere, unique signature and custom dishes, original cocktails and drinks. Luxury establishments have a refined atmosphere and a particularly high level of comfort, a wide range of services, characteristic specialties and drinks that are difficult to prepare.

Getting ready for a trip

Of course, the cost of services chosen by consumers and visitors also varies depending on the choice of one class or another. Public catering is an area where the quality of a product largely depends on how much consumers are willing to spend on it. Of course, cheap food can also be tasty and of high quality, but gourmet food always stands out against such a background.

There is a huge variety of tours around the world, they are purchased for a certain price. Again, the price of these tours may vary from different companies, depending on the conditions included in the tour and many other criteria. Such vouchers can also either include meals (a person pays for a voucher that already includes meals) or not. In the second case, tourists independently decide where they want to eat. Is the travel agency responsible for included food services? Yes, because she is obliged to carefully study this issue.

Way to success

Production plays a major role in catering. As mentioned above, it is divided into several stages: preparation of the necessary documentation, availability and equipment of the necessary areas for food preparation, work with the professional skills of the staff. All these and many other aspects are usually observed at the proper level not only to preserve people’s health, but they are also necessary for the development of the establishment. In a place where visitors are cared for and loved, there will always be guests. This is unchanged! A favorable environment will give good memories not only to clients, but also to the employees of this establishment.
