ABSTRACT
Commercial food service is offered by companies aiming to make a profit, and non-commercial food service is provided by organisations that exist for some other reason, but do offer food and beverage to their employees or other people as a service. Aside from the lodging possibilities offered by hospitality organisations, the provision of food and beverage products is also of paramount importance. The Food and Beverage Department is in charge of this service, meaning it has a key role to play within the hospitality industry. Quick service businesses that offer coffee as a core business, in addition to other products like cold and warm drinks, pastries, and other food items like sandwiches. Cafeterias are food service providers where food and drinks are displayed on counters, placed in a line, or in an arbitrary fashion. Similar to the cafeterias, buffet restaurants also require guests to collect food themselves instead of being served.
