room service 12/16/08

this week while at the Marriott i worked at the room service department with Joel and we got to pick up trays and see some the hotel room lie the suites that weren't occupied, we also went through what he did every morning when he clocks in and if there's anything that he has to follow, learned that he gets paid under minimum wage because he gets tips, Joel showed us how he gets an order if its preset, or telephone in from room, and Joel makes a list of the hotel rooms and highlights the hotel rooms that had food delivered so he will no what rooms to pick up the next day or later that day.

banquet server

today i worked as a banquet server with Ginny, overall there wasn't much to do because the Marriott was pretty dead due to the holiday and not many people were eating in the restaurant so i got to learn many different things and also asked many different question to Melissa, was pretty interesting day i found out they since i have been to the Marriott last year they switched there menu around and added a few new things to it, i also learned what they serve for breakfast and they told me that people aren't normally smart when it comes to breakfast because they forget that most of the food are on the buffet but instead order separately which in the end cost more, so they don't complain but in the end its funny to see how many people don't really look at the menu before the actual order, it was also interesting to find out that celebrities stay and on that day there was the undertaker and the big show, i learned also that when on of the NY giants players stayed at the Marriott he stayed on a false name.
