Different types of restaurants.

A restaurant is a commercial establishment committed to the sale of food and beverage. A restaurant may be a licensed part of a hotel operation, whereby the sales of the restaurant contribute to the sales performance of the hotel as a whole. Restaurants may also be in dependent business entities under individual ownership and manage ment. Basically, restaurants provide tables and chairs for people to sit and eat food prepared by an attached kitchen. They are equipped with crockery, cutlery and linen which may vary in quality according to the standard of the restaurant, which is determined by its decor, independent bar, entertainment facilities and above all, the quality of service.

Coffee ShopA concept borrowed from the United States, distinguished by its quick service. Food is pre-plated and the atmosphere informal. Table cover layouts are less elaborate and have basic essentials only.

Continental RestaurantThe atmosphere is more sophisticated and caters for people who

can eat at leisure. The accent is on good continental food and elaborate service.

Specialty RestaurantThe entire atmosphere and decor are geared to a particular type of food or theme. Thus restaurants which offer Chinese, Japanese, Indian and Polynesian cuisine would be termed "specialty restaurants". The service is based more or less on the style of the country from which the particular cuisine originates.

Various meat cuts are grilled or roasted here. Normally, a grill room has a glass partition between the restaurant and the kitchen, so that the guest can choose his meat cut and see the actual preparation."!
