following must be observed in clearing the dishes:
1. Always excuse yourself and ask permission from the guest when removing soiled dishes.
2. When everyone at the table has finished eating, remove all the soiled chinaware, flatware, and wine
from the right side of the guests‘glasses. But do not clear the water glass and coffee cups as they should
be refilled. Remove them only after the guests have left the table. Never reach across in front of a guest
in removing dishes. Remove serving dishes and silver first, then remove the dishes from each person's
cover, usually beginning with the hostess or guest of honor. Avoid stacking dishes on the table in front
of the guest in clearing the table. Use your left hand to remove the plate. Transfer it to your right hand
for the salad plate or other dishes
3. Brush the tables with a clean, moist side towel whenever necessary. Take care not to spill the crumbs on
the lap of the customer. Use small plate to catch the crumbs.
4. Buss out largest plates first, followed by the smaller ones so that they can be easily stacked.
5. When bussing, follow the standard procedure the 3S‘s –
 segregate, scrape, and stack away from the guest.

 Scrape left over food and stack together the chinaware of the same kind and size.
6. Use appropriate trays for bussing – bar tray for the bar items (glasses and bottles), rectangular or oval
tray for chinaware.

SHEETS.
Lesson #2: CLEANING THE TABLE AND CHANGING USED ASHTRAYS
In this lesson, you are expected to:
1. clean the table and change used ashtrays properly; and
2. observe table manners and etiquette.
Concept Notes:
Maximum Hotel and Restaurant has smoking zone and some are always smoking allowed for the guests.  In we
think about smoking then we have to think about ashtray at the same time of thinking about smoking. Because
without ashtray smoking is not perfect or suitable in any hotel and restaurant even in your own house.
However, if you work in a good and well reputed Hotel or Restaurant then there must be have an art of your all
kind of work.
Now we will come back to the main point in the main post, how to clean dirty ashtray from table and replace
clean ashtray on your table when your guests are still smoking on your table.

After the bussing and clearing procedures, closing will be the last step that staff should put in mind. Here are
some helpful tips that will guide you in accomplishing the task effectively.
1. Clean all tools, utensils, and containers.
 Empty, clean, and return all equipment at their right places.
 Turn off all appliances as necessary.
 Wrap, date, and refrigerate perishable food in clean containers.
 Recording of shift information (shortage, wastage and spillage).
 Requisition and restocking of station with the required ingredients and utensils used during the
day.
 Secure station.
Instructions in cleaning the table:
1. Remove all debris from the table. This includes all dishes, napkins, and garbage left behind by the
previous customer. Check for candy and gum that might have been smashed on seats or under the table,
and remove with a scraper.
2. Use a clean, damp rag to wipe the surface of the table. Use an abrasive cream made from baking soda
and water to remove any sticky, hard-to-remove substance. Apply a thin layer of paste, then use the rag
to scrub the table top until the caked on debris is removed. Check the seats for any food or sticky
objects, and use the baking soda paste to clean the chair or booth as well.

3. Rinse the rag with clean, hot water, and wipe off any traces of baking soda from the table and chairs.
This will likely require several attempts to remove the baking soda residue.
4. Fill a clean container with a 1/2 gallon of hot water. Add 2 tablespoons of bleach to the water and stir.
The mixture should not have an overpowering aroma, and should only be slightly detectable. If the
bleach water is made too strong, there will be chlorine residue left on the tables, and could be so strong
that the smell could make customers sick. If the bleach water is too weak, it will not have the
disinfectant properties to effectively clean the surfaces.
5. Dip a clean rag in the bleach-water solution, ring out the excess water and use the rag to wipe down the
surface of the table and chairs. Dry the table with a clean cloth before another customer is seated at that
table.
Changing of Soiled Ashtray
1. Get clean ashtray.
2. Cover soiled ashtray.
3. Set aside/ remove dirty ashtray.
4. Set table appointments

RELATED BIBLE VERSE:
Clearing a table is about more than the number of dishes you
can carry at once. It’s also about maintaining a clean and
welcoming atmosphere for your guests. In your own way, how “Wash yourselves, make yourselves
does cleanliness and sanitation affect food service? clean; Remove the evil of your deeds
from My sight. Cease to do evil.”
