Grasp the purpose, requirements and theme of the banquet.
With the increase of various exchanges in modern society, the nature and theme of banquets are constantly changing. When a hotel accepts a guest's banquet reservation, it should be clear what the focus of the banquet is, that is, the theme should be clear, such as wedding banquet, birthday banquet, friends gathering, business banquet, family gathering and so on. And ask the specific requirements of the guests, such as the number of participants, the number of tables, time, standards, banner calligraphy and painting, audio and video, so as to make preparations in advance, carry out targeted design and development, and meet the purpose of the organizer's banquet.
Theme banquet design highlights the scene layout
Banquet is a comprehensive and high-level catering activity. Compared with ordinary catering activities, it is more multifunctional, cultural and personalized. Therefore, the banquet scene, like the stage of drama performance, also needs to define the theme, highlight the personality, highlight the cultural characteristics, set off the atmosphere, and give consumers a higher level of psychological satisfaction besides eating. The theme of traditional banquet design is generally expressed by menu design, the difference of dishes, and the design that the table is equal to the stage. In the theme banquet design of modern hotels, modern means, methods and channels should be used to create atmosphere and environment. For example, the scene layout of a European-style flower wedding banquet designed by a hotel: the Hu Chang is decorated with beautiful flowers everywhere, carpeted, heart-shaped balloon arches are set up, and photos of new people are hung, surrounded by soft pods and flowers, so the whole wedding banquet is colorful and beautiful. At the same time, combined with the use of modern multimedia means, the relevant information of newcomers is displayed to the guests through the screen, which makes the guests dazzled and feel beautiful.
Highlight the design of countertops and menus, and echo the overall environment.
Compared with the dining environment in or around the banquet hall, the desktop and menu design belongs to the local environment, but the local environment is a part of the overall environment, so the desktop layout and menu design of the theme banquet can never be ignored. In the layout of the desktop, in addition to tablecloths, oral cloths, tableware and other necessary utensils and sketches, we should also make full use of flower arrangement, small ornaments, food carving and so on to reflect the theme of the banquet. For example, at the wedding reception, the romance, happiness and happiness of the newlyweds are often reflected by red roses, Bai Baihe and lifelike flamingos.
In addition, menu design is also an important aspect to attract 0l customers. At present, the materials used in the menu have gone far beyond the traditional menu. Paper, bamboo, wood, stone, silk and other menu materials are different, mainly according to the theme of the banquet, choose materials that are in harmony with it, design elegant and novel shapes, use appropriate colors to match the dining table, package dishes according to the nature of the banquet, and highlight the cultural nature of the banquet. For example, in the menu of a Chinese wedding banquet designed by a hotel, the following dishes are used: full house, full moon, bound flowers, eternal harmony, East China Sea Youlin, gold and silver jade belt, Yuanyang, prosperous Tengda, heart to heart, golden rooster, good luck, pearl and jade dew, blooming together, and each dish name is accompanied by a description, which adds to the atmosphere of the wedding banquet.
Strengthen service design to add luster to the theme of the banquet.
Service design is another key to the success of the banquet. 1986 When Queen Elizabeth II visited China, the Guangdong Provincial Government held a large welcoming banquet in the White Swan Hotel. One of the "red-skinned suckling pigs" was guided by the maid in front of the palace lantern, and two bearers dressed in Tang costumes carried the sedan chair of "golden-skinned suckling pig" behind them, followed by service personnel. Highlight and render the theme, but also consider the service personnel's dress, appearance, walking, standing posture, service procedures and standard physical requirements, never deviate from the theme and avoid running counter to it.
