Banquet Cook (January 13th)

Back at the Marriott again, as a banquet cook working with Matt and Misty for the day. It was January 13Th and it was pretty busy. Today i got to help out a lot. Shantee and Anthony were with me and we helped set up the vegetable platter. We always had to put muffins and pastries on plates. We had to have six of each kind a plate. Me and Shantee also got to break the sausage and bacon because it was frozen then put it on the pans for the guests in the morning. After that my hands were freezing. Today's spirit to serve basic was number 12 i use telephone etiquette. Matt had to leave early, but even though there wasn't any problems going on today, he stayed to help misty cut the fruit and plate it for her, so she wouldn't be worried about getting everything done and being rushed. They have to work had to get everything together and done on time. Preparing the food and plating so many things for so many people can make it overwhelming at times. Matt and Misty both said that the hotel can get crazy sometimes with the amount of food they have to prepare for. I like being in this department and if i was in it more, i would have more experience and could help out a lot more. There goal is to give the guests the best food they can make.
