Module 1 | CATERING in THEORYwarm up catering1 List the venues Commercial versus non-profit catering where you think Catering is the provision of food and drink and it is divided into two basic sectors: there is catering. commercial businesses, where the main aim is to make a profit, and non-commercial businesses (welfare), where the main aim is to provide a non-profit-making social service. Further differences between the two sectors include the fact that commercial catering is open to a general market and competes with other catering outlets and so needs to balance food production costs, product quality and customer satisfaction. In contrast, welfare catering services are open to a limited market, usually contract outside suppliers and provide good catering at reduced prices. Commercial catering is usually found in hotels, restaurants, pubs, bars and cafés, but it can also be found in the transport industry in places such as railway stations, airports or motorway service stations and on trains, ships or aeroplanes. Catering at private events such as wedding receptions or public events including rock concerts or football matches is also considered commercial. Welfare catering ranges from providing food for workers at a subsidised price in factory or office block canteens, to catering in hospitals, schools or prisons, where people pay nothing or very little for the service.Activities reading comprehension 2 Read the text and complete the missing information in the table.

The World of Hospitality | Module 1Grammar Present simple vs Present continuous We use the Present simple to describe habitual actions and routines or things that are always true. The most popular ethnic restaurants serve Chinese or Indian cuisine. How does pub and bar food differ? We generally use the Present continuous with adverbs of frequency like always, usually, often, normally, sometimes, rarely, occasionally, seldom, hardly ever, never (ever) or time expressions like daily, twice a week, four times a month, every year… Fast food restaurants are often part of a chain or franchise. We use the Present continuous to describe an action which takes place at the time of speaking or to describe temporary situations, often with time expressions like now, at the moment, at present. Right now people are drinking a coffee all over the world. Nowadays chefs are becoming very creative.1 Underline the correct form of the verb. 1 Independent tourists are often booking/often book an apartment or a villa. 2 I am going/go out to eat every week. 3 Takeaway restaurants are becoming/become popular because they are providing/provide a cheap and convenient alternative to restaurants. 4 Nowadays, star quality, as well as the promise of fine dining, is making/makes more and more people visit the exclusive restaurant chains of TV celebrity chefs. 5 ‘Are you liking/Do you like your food, Sir?’ ‘Yes, I’m really enjoying/really enjoy it, thank you’. 6 ‘The buffet car is now open to customers. Today we are offering/offer a selection of hot and cold snacks and drinks...’.2 Put each verb in the correct tense, Present simple or Present continuous. 1 The word hospitality _______________ (describe) many different services. 2 Increasingly, fast food chains _______________ (dominate) the food market in Europe and America. 3 We _______________ (cook) all our dishes to order in this restaurant. 4 Ugh! I _______________ (not want) to eat snake or buffalo! 5 Accommodation means where you _______________ (stay). Zero conditional We use Zero conditionals when the if clause expresses a habitual condition, real events or universal situations or truths. We use the Present simple both in the if clause and in the main clause. If you stay in a youth hostel, you make a lot of friends. When you book half board, you get breakfast and an evening meal.3 Match the two parts of the sentences. a you don’t get waiter service. b the telephone rings in your room. 1 When you eat too much fast food, c you need an all inclusive package. 2 If you like organised holidays, d you don’t have to pay. 3 If you eat in a canteen, e you get fat. 4 When you order a wake-up call, 5 If toiletries are complimentary, 4 Translate the following text into your language. When you cater for a social event, there are many things to consider: the venue, the type of event, the number of guests, the menu and any particular dietary needs like allergies or vegetarianism. Plan the menu carefully and make sure you cater for everybody. Visit the venue to decide what decorations you need. Check the number of guests so you can organise the seating. Above all, stay calm! 23
1ModuleTURN UP THE HEAT!the stressful side of supper clubsT he cool thing in city eating right now is supper clubs, also known as ‘pop-ups’ . These are a mixture of a restaurant and a dinner party: more casual than the first, more businesslike than the second. You pay money to visit a secret underground location, basically someone’s home, where you eat dinner, sitting with a group of strangers. I find the idea of being a supper club host very stressful because there is a performance aspect to cooking. Some people are good at this. Those who are very good at it become professional chefs, but even many domestic cooks love applause. How else can we explain the existence of Come Dine with Me, the popular British Channel 4 show where competitive cooks host dinner parties for strangers and try to win cash prizes as the best cook? The truth is all cooks probably have an ideal audience. Many of us cook well when alone, because there’s no one to please but ourselves. You can make a big plate of garlic-butter mushrooms on toast without offending anyone with the smell. Then again, many people don’t bother cooking solitary meals, thinking it’s not worth the effort. My own ideal audience is close family, because I know everyone’s dislikes and don’t feel judged. Though I say it myself, I do a decent family supper. By contrast, I am a terrible dinner-party cook. As soon as I know someone is coming to dinner I become afraid. Suddenly I don’t remember how to cook. Being a food writer doesn’t help because people expect me to be a good cook, which makes me panic. I put my faith in cookbooks, and make the classic mistake of trying new dishes, which never quite work. If you want to get a good meal at my house, please don’t tell me you’re coming round. Just turn up, ideally on a weeknight. I can’t promise culinary fireworks, but I can promise good quality food and atmospheric candles all free of charge in a top secret supper club! Source: The Telegraph ‘Pop-ups’ are temporary restaurants often operated in people’s homes. People usually advertise their supper nights through social media networks. 24
