Hospitality Industry And Catering

Visão Geral

Every plate of jollof served at an owambe in Lagos, every tray of food wheeled round a ward in a teaching hospital, and every buffet laid out in an Abuja hotel belongs to one great enterprise: the hospitality industry. Catering, the business of preparing and serving food and drink to people away from their own homes, sits right at its heart. Learn how the two fit together and you have the map for everything else in this subject.

This lesson defines catering and the wider hospitality industry, then opens up the single most examined idea in the topic: the split between welfare catering, provided as a service to people who need it, and commercial catering, provided to make a profit. You will see how large the trade has grown in Nigeria, why events culture keeps it busy, and the many careers that a well trained caterer can build inside it.

  2. Explain the components of catering, both welfare and commercial
  3. Distinguish catering from the wider hospitality industry
  4. Describe the scope and importance of catering to the Nigerian economy
  5. Outline the career opportunities available in catering and hospitality

Nota de Aula

Ask ten Nigerians what a caterer does and most will picture a woman in a bright gele dishing rice at a wedding. That picture is true, but it is a keyhole view of a vast trade. The same skill that feeds three hundred guests at an owambe feeds pupils in a boarding school in Ilorin, patients in a hospital in Enugu, soldiers in a barracks in Kaduna, and oil workers on a rig off Port Harcourt. All of that is catering, and catering is one half of the hospitality industry. Before you can cook, cost a menu or run a kitchen, you have to see the whole field and know where your work sits in it. That is what this first lesson gives you.

(a) Give four methods of preserving fish.

(b) In a restaurant, a customer has lodged a complaint that her beef dish is not well cooked. In four steps, outline how the situation should be managed.

Detalhes da Resposta
(a) Four methods of preserving fish are: 1. Canning: The fish is sealed in an airtight container and heated at a high temperature to kill bacteria and prevent spoilage. 2. Freezing: Fish can be frozen to preserve it for long periods. The low temperature inhibits bacterial growth and slows down the enzymatic processes that cause spoilage. 3. Salting: Salt is used to remove moisture from the fish and create an environment that is hostile to bacterial growth. 4. Smoking: Smoking adds flavor to fish and also helps to preserve it. The smoke contains chemicals that inhibit bacterial growth and slow down the enzymatic processes that cause spoilage. (b) To manage the situation where a customer has lodged a complaint that her beef dish is not well cooked, the following steps can be taken: 1. Apologize: The server or manager should apologize to the customer for the inconvenience caused and acknowledge the complaint. 2. Investigate: The server or manager should investigate the complaint by talking to the chef and checking the dish. It is important to confirm the validity of the complaint. 3. Offer a solution: If the complaint is found to be valid, the server or manager should offer a solution to the customer. This can be a replacement dish, a discount on the bill or a free dessert. 4. Follow up: After the situation has been resolved, the server or manager should follow up with the customer to ensure that they are satisfied with the solution offered. This shows that the restaurant values their customers and is committed to providing good customer service.
