Text: "The Service Staff and its Duties" The waiters who work in the dining room create the atmosphere that determines restaurant's popularity, so their work is important to the success of the restaurant. The headwaiter and the barman usually come to the restaurant before it opens. Headwaiters are usually skilled. They have many years of experience in this and other restaurants. The main part of their job is to control and coordinate the work of the staff in the dining room. They also greet the guests when they arrive and show them to their tables. The barman should be experienced in wines and cocktails. He must know a lot of recipes of cocktails and strong drinks. The waiters in the dining room come half an hour before the opening. First they wash their hands and change into their uniforms. Then they set the tables before the guests arrive. Some waiters often want to earn some money and travel to Europe to get experience in some of the hotel restaurants in European cities. As usual they want to become headwaiters and restaurant managers one day. Cooks often do their work with the help of their apprentices who make the pates, the ice cream and desserts. Cooks also prepare the main course meat dishes and then apprentices cook them. Apprentices usually learn a lot of things in a short time. They clean, cut and prepare the vegetables and make fruit salads. They learn to make garnishes and decorations on the dishes. They must keep the kitchen clean.
