Study Notes

Professional Planning Team & Preliminary Design Information

Professional planning and development teams (PPDT) are responsible for designing lodging and foodservice facilities.
Large projects usually involve a team of professionals working collaboratively to achieve the final plan.
The planning process typically includes three viewpoints: the owner, an independent consultant/professional, and an architect.

Topic Learning Outcomes

Students should be able to identify the members of the professional planning and development team.
Understanding the responsibilities and nature of work for each team member is important.
Describe functional requirements for lodging and foodservice projects.
Apply design criteria for lodging and foodservice facilities.

Who are the Commissioned Members of the Planning and Development Team?

The owner commissions the architect and consultant/professional.
The owner is responsible for the project's concept, restrictions, feasibility study, planning team, and contracts.
The owner is responsible for developing basic concepts for lodging or food service operations.
The owner needs to ensure legal and regulatory restrictions are verified and contract forms are in place.
The owner's role includes approving various submitted plans, designs, and other matters.

The Professional Planning and Development Team

Large lodging and food service projects are often planned by a team of professionals cooperating to finalise plans.
The planning team usually considers three viewpoints: owner, lodging/food service consultant, and designer/builder.

Consultant/Professional

A consultant provides professional or expert advice on achieving goals via design and implementation of foodservice facilities.
Consultants have general knowledge of architecture, engineering, and interior design and current lodging and foodservice design trends.
The consultant needs to design all aspects of room management within the lodging system.
They develop menus, create a desired atmosphere, determine space requirements, and define operations for furnishings, equipment, and supplies.
Consultants need to assure cooperation between members for the preparation of bid requirements.

Professional Architect

Architects design buildings and prepare plans for builders.
Drawings of buildings are sometimes first created as models.
Architects determine site plans, traffic orientation, parking/service areas, design configurations, ventilation, plumbing, and water systems.
Architects provide blueprint cost estimates.
Site plans include building orientation (front/back), traffic patterns, parking/service locations, ingress/egress points.
Topographical elements such as trees, rock formations, and water should be preserved.
The site plan selection should consider building construction materials (floors, walls, ceilings).

Preliminary Design Information

The professional planning and development team (PPDT) is responsible for creating the design concept of physical facilities, including drawings and specifications.
Team members need to pool their knowledge and experience to formulate detailed plans.
The PPDT must take into account progressive total quality management (TQM) principles as outlined in the written prospectus and master plan.

Defining the Size and Style of a Lodging Facility

Key factors in defining size and style include price, location, room configuration, and purpose.
Specific examples include different classifications of hotels (luxury, boutique, upscale commercial, mid-scale commercial) located in various locations (airport, downtown, suburban) with differing room configurations (all suites, extended stay, capsule hotels, bed and breakfast) designed for different purposes (convention related, entertainment, park and recreation).

Standard Requirements for Accreditation in the Philippines

The Department of Tourism establishes National Accommodation Standards for resorts.

Explanatory Notes - Introducing the Five Star Grading System

There are five levels of accommodation standards (1 to 5 stars) for hotels, resorts, and apartment hotels.
Higher stars require better facility quality, condition, improved business practices (environmentally conscious) and higher service levels which are measured on a points-based grading system.
A total of 1000 points is achievable.

Characteristics and Classifications of Food Service Operations

Commercial food service includes stand-alone restaurants and food service within lodging properties.
Institutional catering is for locations such as canteens, hospitals, and prisons.
