The Clifford M. Lewis American Plan Check System: Adapted for Use of American Plan Hotels in General; For the Service of Table D'hote Meals in Restaurants, and for Banquets (Classic Reprint)
Description:Excerpt from The Clifford M. Lewis American Plan Check System: Adapted for Use of American Plan Hotels in General; For the Service of Table D'hote Meals in Restaurants, and for Banquets The aim and purpose of the system of American Plan Checking which is set forth in the following chapters of this book is to show proprietors of American plan hotels how, by introducing the system in their houses, they will be able, at a nominal initial cost, not only to save for themselves a considerable amount of money, by reducing their produce bills to a great extent, but at the same time be able to give their patrons a greatly improved service. The writer, whose experience in the hotel business dates from his early youth, is personally in favor of the European plan of conducting hotels, on account of the advantages it offers to the hotel proprietors. It is an established fact that the European plan affords the guest a better cuisine and a greater variety of dishes. To the proprietor it is beneficial because he gets compensation for everything which is ordered, and hardly anything ordered by a guest on the European plan goes to the scrap table. It is surprising how the American plan guest's appetite diminishes when ordering from a la carte menu. Circumstances in this country are, however, such that a great number of the hotels practically are compelled to cling to the American plan, and it has therefore been the aim of the writer to invent a system whereby the proprietor of an American plan hotel, as well as his patrons, will derive as many of the advantages of the European plan as possible, at the same time that he continues the American plan. Hotels conducted on the American plan at $4 and $5 per day and upwards can, 968414 by using the American plan checking, give their patrons European service complete, as most high-priced American plan houses have a very extensive bill of fare. A guest becoming familiar with the American plan check will naturally accustom himself to ordering just what is wanted and nothing more, knowing that the portions will be large. In this way the hotel can serve large portions, knowing also that the guest only orders what he desires, and does not leave it to the waiter to bring in anything that might suit his (the waiters) fancy, only to be picked over by the guest: who, having finally tasted of the several dishes, and finding one that pleases, requests the waiter to bring some more of this or that, while the other portions find their way to the scrap table. Hotels conducted at $2, $2.50 and $3.00 per day should of necessity use a small bill of fare, serving liberal portions, instead of the stereotyped small American plan portions. The guest will soon become acquainted with the American plan check and its improved service. The writer has evolved this system, which he now offers to the proprietors of American plan hotels, at his own hotels; and he knows from his own experience what the difference is in dollars and cents between running the dining room of a hotel in the old-fashioned way and under the systematized way as hereinafter set forth.
