INFORMATION SHEET 1.1-4b
Professional Competencies of Restaurant Service Personnel
A. Flexible
Restaurants Service Personnel should be flexible; they must be
able to work after their scheduled time and do work beyond their
designated tasks whenever necessary to avoid delay, discomfort and
displeasure.
B. Efficient
It is always important to work both with quality and quantity,
utilizing time to accomplish tasks with less, or no negative issues of great
concern. Efficiency is knowing what to do, when to do and how to do.
C. Committed and Loyal

The staff’s obligations and loyalty are expected to be to the
establishment in which they are employed and its management.
Commitment is the willingness to do things that may have little or great
effect on the management. Loyalty is the affirmation of trust and the
deliberation and execution of policies and regulations that asset the
limits and boundaries of the operation, mostly to the benefit of the
managements, so that the establishment will be able to survive.
D. Responsive

No.
To be responsive means having the sense of urgency, the
assurance to be able to deliver to the maximum amount of business over
service period with as high as net profit as possible, the ability to
respond to the needs and wants of the customer regardless of the ability
to discharge. They should see to it that the guests have all they require
and are completely satisfied. It is the “care” for the guests in fulfilling
their needs and wants.
E. Enthusiastic
The staff’s conduct is very important in delivering service. Unless

they are interested and excited to do things over and over for a number
of guests, then it will be a difficult task for them. Enthusiasm is the
passion to deliver with excellence, the manifestation of extreme and often
uncritical devotion to satisfy guests.
F. Resourceful
From time to time there is unavailability of certain raw materials
and inadequacy of products and skills. The staff should be ready for even
greater alternatives for the guests to choose from. Sometimes what we
are written in the books cannot save one from dilemma, they should
know how to source things out.
G. Dependable and Honest

Dependability and honesty are two virtues that do not need further
explanation. But at the same rate, dependable means that the company
can depend on the staff to fulfill the responsibilities for which they are
hired. They are expected to work on time, serve the customers properly
and complete all the tasks assigned to them. Honesty is a virtue that
motivates a person to deliver accordingly and exactly. In restaurant

No.
service, there should be honesty in charging, giving change correctly and
accepting “TIPS” (as per establishment regulations).
H. Articulate and Smart

These combine skills in the proper handling of customers by
becoming good sales persons, displaying strong interpersonal
communication skills and the personal charisma to be appealing to the
clientele. Ability to express and explain things about restaurant service
operations, (whenever ask), and to communicate with ease and comfort
with the guests but never misleading them in certain issues/concerns.
They should possess a broad vocabulary, to be understood by the guests
and make the guests look forward for the service that a staff can give and
be able to build interpersonal relationships; for everyone is a prospective
guest.
I. Service-oriented
More than on the pay slip and the tip, the service staff should be,
by nature, service-oriented persons, always targeting to give exceptional
service to every guest’s satisfaction. On top of everything, it’s still the
guests’ smiling faces and warm thank yous’ that end the daily task.
J. Knowledgeable
Restaurant service personnel must be familiar with all types of
service and how to apply them for a smooth and efficient flow of
operation. The staff should have the sufficient product knowledge of all
items in the menu and beverage list in order to apply salesmanship and
maximize sales volume.

No.
Restaurant service personnel are also expected to calculate figures
and amounts such as discounts, commissions and percentage.
K. Responsible
Once the guest enters the restaurant, the service staff should know
where to lead the guest and where to accommodate them.

No.

CLEANLINESS AND SANITATION

No.
Learning Objective:
After reading the INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to properly

remove used items from service areas and safely transfer them to the
appropriate location for cleaning.
Introduction
It is generally accepted that unclean utensils do constitute potential
health hazards. Each service person must inspect all utensils before using
them to make sure they are clean.
Cleaning and sanitizing are resource-intensive procedures in any foodservice
operation. They require time, labor, chemicals and sanitizing procedures
resulting in optimal protection of employees and customers.
Principles of cleaning
Cleaning is a two-step task that occurs when a cleaning compound (or
agent) such as detergent is put in contact with a soiled surface. Pressure is
applied using a brush, cloth, scrub pad, or water spray for a long enough
period of time to penetrate the soil so it can be easily removed during the
second step of rinsing.
Cleaning and Sanitizing Procedures
A. Washing by Hands – using a 3 compartment sink
Scrape – and or pre-rinse food from the dishes and utensils

Wash with detergent and hot water (110ºF) in the FIRST sink
Rinse with clean, hot water to remove any soap or food in the MIDDLE sink.
Sanitize in the THIRD sink, for at least 1 minute to kill any bacteria. (teaspoon
bleach + 1 gallon of water, no soap)
Air dry the dishes and utensils
B. Machine Washing: Using a commercial dishwasher

Scrape and/or pre-rinse food from the dishes and utensils

B. Several times a day

Clean and sanitize equipment that is used all day long at periodic intervals
during the workday when using for the same product. If the product is
changed, sanitize after each change.
Clean most cooking equipment several times a day to remove grease and food
particles. Especially remove food matter from grills and other food contact
surfaces
Clean the areas around ovens or hot oil cookers several items a day when in
use.

Immediately after cleaning, all food contact surfaces must be sanitized. Heat
and chemical sanitizing are the two methods for sanitizing surfaces
effectively.
Heat sanitizing. The objective of heat sanitizing is to expose the clean surface
to high heat for a long enough time to kill harmful organisms. Heat sanitizing
can be done manually or by a high temperature machine. The minimum
temperature range necessary to kill most harmful organisms is usually 162ºF
to 165ºF.
Chemical Sanitizing. A second method of effective sanitizing is through the
use of chemicals. One of the reasons for choosing this method over heat
sanitizing is the savings that are realized in energy usage, as lower water
temperatures are used with chemical sanitizers, eliminating the need for
booster heaters.
Chemical sanitizing is achieved in two ways:
immersing the clean object in a sanitizing solution of appropriate concentration
and for a specific length of time, usually one minute.
Rinsing, swabbing or spraying the object with the sanitizing solution.
