Set Up and Maintaing Buffet

This document outlines standards for buffet setup and maintenance in hotel banquets. It states that buffets must be set up according to pre-established layouts to ensure efficient guest service and replenishment. Hot items should be kept hot using methods like refilling water in chafing dishes and replacing empty fuel cans, and cold items cold by adding ice as needed. Food and drinks must be refilled when containers are low, using full replacements rather than combining old and new. Service ware like dishes and utensils should be restocked and cleaned to maintain an ample supply.

Maintain Buffets:-
Keep hot items hot:
 If there is less than one quarter of an inch of water in the liners of hot
chafing dishes, user a pitcher of water to refill the liners.
 If the chafing dishes are heated by canned, gel type fuel then make sure
the cans stay lit, and replace them when they become empty.
 Replace lid on serving dishes when guests are not in the buffet line.
Keep cold items cold:
 Use pitchers to add ice to the buffet as needed to keep the containers
holding cold items surrounded by ice.
 Remove ice that gets into the food containers and replace any items that
become waterlogged.
Refill Food and water:
 When a container is less than one-quarter full get a full container from the
kitchen.
 Remove the old container and replace it with the full one. Do
not combine food from the old and new containers.
 Bring the old container the kitchen and give it to the appropriate person.
 Place enough drinking water glasses filled at all time.

 Restock dishes when there are fewer than ten dishes in a stack. Never let
a stack get below five dishes.
