...Wembley Campus, London Task1 1.1characteristics of food production and beverage service systems Food Production Methods Food production methods in the catering industry evolved over a period of time when there was an great quantity of labour. The design of the established kitchen, first introduced into the UK in the latter half of the nineteenth century, grew up around the division of tasks into parties (comparable tasks with numerous foods were carried out by a particular group of people). This was the progress of the parties system. The rigid demarcation between the sections meant that the staffing ratio was high in comparison with the number of meals served. During the first half of the twentieth century there was little or no technical change in the kitchens of hotels and restaurants. Most managers and chefs had been trained in the old traditional methods which gave reasonably satisfactory results, and to them there seemed little reason to change.

These changes were slow to appear and started in the manufacturing industry rather than in the kitchens of hotels and restaurants. Technical research was done by the major firms of food suppliers and their products slowly became accepted by the catering industry, as skilled catering staff began to be in short supply. This was further optimistic by the rising costs of space that was necessary for a traditional kitchen. Traditional kitchen...
