Goodwood Restaurant

      Each week I spend 6 hours in the Goodwood Restaurant, where a different job role is designated, such as:
·         Head Waiter
·         Waitress/Waiter
·         Bar person
·         Hot Plate
·         Wine Waiter
·         Barista

We then have to set up each section ready for service and be responsible for our sections until the very end of shift.

     What have I learnt?

The main things I have learnt is Silver Service.

Initially, I was quite sceptical about this serving method (app.3) - I have never been in restaurant that silver serves and worried about throwing food over a customer.

  

      To develop, I practiced on each other in class, allowing my confidence to grow. I am now usually one of the few asked to silver serve by the rest of the class in service.  

   

     What will I do next time?

Next time I have an opportunity to learn a new skill that I have never come across before, I will try to approach it more openly and embrace it until it is something I can complete without thinking.
