    Study Notes

    Subsidiary Departments Under Chef's Control

    • Ancillary areas are between kitchens and food service areas
    • Examples include Food Pick-up Area, Pantry/Still Room, Kitchen Stewarding (Wash Up/Silver Room & Plate Room), and Store.
    • These areas link food prep and service, requiring close staff liaison.
    • Back-of-house areas are essential for food service efficiency.

    Handling Food Pick-up Services

    • Kitchen Order Tickets (KOTs) are used for food orders.
    • A regular system ensures accurate and timely order fulfillment.
    • Modern Point of Sale (POS) systems along with old systems improve efficiency.
    • A KOT copy goes to: kitchen, cashier, waiter, and records.
    • Multiple kitchen sections (Indian, Continental, Chinese, etc.) can complicate KOT handling.
    • Centralized KOT handling (by an aboyeur) avoids confusion and ensures accurate delivery to different kitchen sections.
    • The aboyeur is responsible for calling out orders and distributing to different sections.
    • The cashier verifies the order, and the aboyeur receives the stamped KOT.

    Flow Chart of a Food Order

    • Order is routed based on the menu course.
    • KOT, including specific instructions (e.g., spiciness, ingredients, delivery method) is important.
    • Each section (e.g., Indian kitchen, Continental kitchen) handles its part of the order based on the KOT.
    • ABOYEUR is the check point for all production sections.
    • The aboyeur oversees order fulfillment from different sections.
    • Food is delivered to the F&B department or outlet.
    • A primary purpose of the aboyeur is to ensure the order is completed in the correct sequence, and covers the right number of dishes.
