Food and Beverage Service Techniques – Description
Food and beverage service techniques refer to the practical methods, procedures, and skills used by service staff to deliver food and drinks to customers efficiently, attractively, and professionally.

These techniques vary depending on the type of service (e.g., table service, buffet, self-service) and may include:
-
Taking orders accurately and politely.
-
Serving and clearing food and drinks in the correct sequence and manner.
-

In short, food and beverage service techniques combine technical skills (how to serve) with interpersonal skills (how to interact), ensuring guest satisfaction and efficient restaurant operations.
