One of the duties of a banquet server is to arrange all tablecloths, cutlery, plates, glasses and napkins on the table before the event or function. The banquet server must prepare and arrange all tablecloths, cutlery, plates, glasses and napkins before the event and must ensure that all the things they use for setting up are clean. Before that, all banquet servers must confirm with their captain or head waitress exactly which place settings are required for each event, because different events had different types of settings. Therefore, they also need to organize the table placement to make sure the table and chair are in order. Therefore, another task of the banquet server is to collect any remaining dishes and remove all table linens for washing. Banquet servers must do the clearing after the function or event, they must also return all tables and chairs to their correct storage position after finishing, remove all tablecloths for recycling. Furthermore, a duty for a banquet server is to serve various dishes and courses. While the banquet server serves, he must observe important rules, such as the correct way of carrying the tray and greeting the guest. Therefore, banquet servers are required to visit guests' tables frequently to check for any special requests, questions or complaints from the guest. Banquet servers usually serve starting with the ladies sitting at the table, and must serve the dishes from the left side of the guest. Once a dish or course is finished, empty plates or bowls should be removed from the guest's right side, so that the next dish can be served from the left. Another duty for a banquet is...... half of the paper ......imer is that they lack experience. The part-time banquet is mainly composed of students, so they don't have enough professional skills in serving; some of them never work in the real work environment, so they may not have any experience. Therefore, the hotel still needs to take the time to provide them with some training before the event. Besides, lack of commitment is also one of the disadvantages of hiring a part-time banquet, because the part-time banquet is mostly students, so they may not be serious with their work. The purpose for them to work as part-time banquet workers is that they just want to earn money, or see their friends have joined, so they also like to join for fun, and most of them think they are only part-time, so they don't need to do the job perfectly. By doing this, they may cause guest complaint and even guest dissatisfaction.
