I. INTRODUCTION
The business started 13 years ago as a hole in the wall, essentially it was a carinderia.
This is the unique business model of Cebu-based entrepreneur Winglip Chang,
president and chief executive officer of iKitchen Inc., for what he hopes to be the next
big restaurant chain of Filipino cuisine in the country, Kuya J. It is well-known for
bringing in delightful comfort Filipino dishes – all those that you usually see during a
family salu-salo or even in a barangay fiesta. Well, yes, Kuya J is all about family and
bringing people closer than ever through the common love of delicious food.
Now let’s talk about food industry and what is the importance of Food Service and
Management. Why food industry is important? Because everyone and everything eats.
Most modern humans have not and cannot produce food for them. So it’s very
important that the food available for purchase is safe. It’s the job of the food industry
to provide safe, palatable, and digestible food to meet our nutritional needs, culture,
and lifestyle.
The food service industry is a vital part of the Filipino economy. These businesses
rely on food service managers (FSMs) to control costs, keep customers happy, and
ensure smooth operations on a daily basis. FSMs use their organizational and
interpersonal skills to keep customer satisfaction high while operating costs stay low.
FSMs help keep businesses profitable by educating employees on serving and
preparation standards, keeping a careful inventory of stocks, and sourcing different
suppliers for the most cost-effective ingredients.
A. Buffet Centerpiece
Kuya J Restaurant is often use tissue box that serve as their Buffet Centerpiece in a
decorative purpose. Occasionally, they use candies, candle and flowers as a form of
centerpiece.
B. Presentation of Buffet
In a single display, the buffet presentation is simple, balanced and integrated. Foods’
shapes and design is one way that attracts our visual interest. We noticed that sauces
and condiments are directly with the foods so that guests understand how to use them.
Each one has its own underliner. Food arrangements were served palatable as
expected. The layout is designed so as to keep foods properly heated or chilled and
safe from cross contamination.
Just like the cuisine they served the menu reflects the quality of the restaurant. Kuya J
restaurant’s menu is easy to read, clean, and up-to-date. However, the overall format
of the menu is strategic which can bring more revenue and delight more customers in
selecting meal.
D. Service Equipment
As guests we were able to reach the food easily with appropriate service equipment,
including plates and silverware which are well positioned. In case of problem
accounts or a chance that a food might cause an allergic reaction of the guests, the
staff on the line can be called easily.
Regarding with food display unit which is something they don’t have (probably they
have inside the kitchen) because foods will be cooked and prepared if customers will
order.
