F & B Services - Cleaning & Maintenance

When the food is ready to arrive in the pantry, used utensils for food preparation are cleaned immediately and wiped off dry for later use. If any other ancillary serving item such as electric hand blender is damaged, it is reported to the concerned manager and replaced with a working one at the earliest.
When the guests complete their meals and leave the table, it is required to prepare the table immediately by clearing the used tableware. If any tableware is found broken or damaged, it is reported to the concerned store department and a request is made for its replacement. The table covers and runners are checked and replaced with fresh ones if need be.
The used tableware is handed over to the cleaning and washing staff. The linen is also handed over to the laundry department in the hotel. In case of other F&B Services businesses, the soiled linen can be stored separately and given away to contracted laundry service.
