Course details
In this banquet service online training course led by Thomas Boucourt, we'll go through the theory and practice you need to deliver an excellent banquet service: everything from the timeline sequence for banqueting service setup; to seating and greeting; to serving, cleanup, and pack down.
But, what is a banquet? Banquets are a tradition that date back to medieval times. The word 'banquet' is actually an old French word, meaning small bench, and it comes from the idea of a group of people sitting around the same table for a meal.
What is a banquet service? Over time, banquets have taken on an additional connotation - extravagant, large-scale, celebratory feasts. In modern times, banquets are a staple of event catering: weddings, graduations, and even conferences. They require an additional level of knowledge and service to be prepared and managed, in order to meet guests' high expectations.
