TASK IN MISE EN PLACE 

1. SIDEBOARD PREPARATION 
A sideboard is an item of furniture traditionally used in the dining room for serving food, for displaying serving dishes such as silver, and for storage. It usually consists of a set of cabinets, or cupboards, and one or more drawers, all topped by a flat display surface for conveniently holding food, serving dishes, and even lighting devices.

3.CLOTHING PROCEDURE

4.TYPE OF COVER 

Standard Linen

This is the most common type of linen used at restaurants. It is made of quality cotton with a higher thread count and is usually in plain colours. Many restaurants avoid heavy embellishments as they do not want to create a gaudy look in their establishments. Standard linen is durable and can be cleaned easily.

Table Runner

Some restaurants like to use a matching table runner. Linen is the fabric of choice for restaurant owners because of its elegance and low costs. This type of table line usually comes with higher absorption powers as utensils and dishes are often placed on the runner.

Service Table Linen

A relatively coarse type of linen may be selected for the service table. This step is taken to avoid the spillovers from penetrating into the table surface. Service table linen comes in equally diverse varieties and is used in place of standard table linen in some restaurants.

Kitchen Table Linen

A nicely spread linen on a kitchen table creates a good ambience. Some establishments place linens on kitchen tables to enhance the décor of the place. Others use it as a core kitchen item and as a protective layer to avoid stains on marble tops and wooden tables.

Of all types of table linen, the one spread on the guest table needs maximum attention. You should choose it wisely so as to impress your patrons with your aesthetic sense.

5.CENTER PIECE 
A centrepiece is an important item of a display, usually of a table setting. Centrepieces help set the theme of the decorations and bring extra decorations to the room. A centrepiece also refers to any central or important object in a collection of items.
