Boeing 737 Catering Handover Process

Catering van reporting time is D-90 minutes for base departures and post chocks-on for transit flights.
Catering staff hands the catering challan and sheet to the R2.
Catering staff loads galley equipment according to GLP.
Catering items must be stowed in their designated locations by the catering personnel.
After loading is complete, catering staff gives handover (sealed F&B cart, dry store, service trays, hollow ware, etc.) to the R2.
The R2 checks the opening and closing seal numbers mentioned on the catering sheet.
Crew physically checks the opening seal numbers of F&B carts and tallies them against the catering sheet.
Discrepancies in seal numbers are documented on the catering sheet and countersigned by the catering staff.
In case of unserviceable carts or other catering equipment, crew must mention it on the catering challan.
R2 and caterer sign the catering sheet at departure; the caterer takes the yellow copy.
Before landing, crew must close stock in the catering sheet to expedite the handover process.
Unused seals are placed back in the dry store, which is then sealed.
Each catering uplift has 8 seals (6 + 2 spare) for sealing both F&B carts.

Handling of Cabin Baggage

If cabin baggage space is insufficient, cabin crew must inform passengers and assist with offloading baggage into the cargo hold.
Passengers should remove essential items (medicines, baby food, valuables, fragile items) from the bags.
Commercial staff will tag the bag with a DA (delivery at aircraft) or DAB (delivery on arrival belt) tag.
Passengers receive a copy of the tag for reference.
In case the tag is not given to the passenger, ground staff will mention it on the boarding card, and the SCC will document it in the ACFR.
Crew should be vigilant about empty/half-filled overhead bins for last-minute baggage needs.
Bags should be kept vertically in overhead bins to maximize space.

Welcome Drinks and Refreshing Towels

Crew will offer welcome drinks to passengers.
Refreshing towels are provided in the forward galley top for the first sector and in the crew cart for subsequent sectors.
R1 prepares the towel trays before passenger boarding.
Towels are pre-rolled, pre-scented with lemon fragrance, and come in pre-packed disposable units.
Each towel tray has 8 towels and a plastic tong.
Towels are moistened with water, and ice cubes may be added for temperatures 22 degrees Celsius and above.
Hot towels are opened before being handed to passengers.
Crew should ensure that towels are offered to all passengers seated on SMAX rows.

BOB Sales Etiquette

Crew initiates BOB sales with "Would you like to buy/purchase..."
Crew informs the passenger of the total amount after taking an order.
Crew takes payment after the order is served.
Passengers should be addressed with their title and last name.
Beverages are served first, followed by eatables (where applicable).
All items are held from the base and served logo facing, with a serviette (wherever applicable) logo facing the passenger.
