banquet week 2

today we got to take a tour of the banquet rooms that they had set up for certain functions that were being held at the Marriott. Kristy was there today and she showed us one set up that looked like a cross with tables in middle and then the buffet tables off to the right and left sides. she showed us how the projection screens work and the entertainment system(microphone and speakers). Then Kristy paired us with some of the banquet servers and set up people, me and Emily got to be paired with Brain hes been there for a while he told us that its a pretty laid back easy job that you get paid a lot for doing nothing really for example he gets paid $24/hr and he works from 10-2 or 3 that's $120.00 for one day and they work more then one day a week so to me that really good and was interesting to learn that for a job like that you can get paid pretty good. he showed us what were suppose to do when the food is empty and when clearing how to combine the two buffets into one to help when they are trying to clean up and have to reset up the room. we also were explained about food cost, and cost menu item and how they arrange the buffet with what food first, they put the salads and light stuff and least expensive first and then but the next item going from least expensive to most expensive.
