How to Make Your Restaurant Stand Out:
From Restaurant Tables to Hiring Waiters
Author: Mark Etinger
If you really want to make your restaurant stand out, there are a few items to pay attention to specifically. A great restaurant is so much more than just good food. Read on to see how to make your restaurant a grand success.
1. Restaurant Furniture: If you really want to provide a unique ambience, you should pay close attention to your restaurant tables and restaurant chairs. These items ground your business and make it what it is, contributing largely to comfort and decor. Think about how your restaurant accords with other restaurants like it. For example, if you have a barbecue restaurant, you may want to go with a rustic theme - wood benches, tables etc. Choosing soft, cushiony diner booths will make for a different feel that you may or may not want to consider.
2. Matching: Does the food go with the ambience? That is, if you're serving unpretentious, home-style Italian food in a small, hole-in-the-wall kind of way, you probably don't want a brash interior. Think rich, dark colors, simple decor and soft, warm lighting. Don't oversimplify, though, white-washed walls have no character. If you have a pizza parlor on the other hand, you may want brighter lights and colors on the walls. Either way, your restaurant should reflect the kind of food you serve.
3. Service: Especially when you're beginning your restaurant, it's important to have superb service. Young, attractive servers are always a hit, even if they're inexperienced. When they fudge an order, always allow your customers the option to keep both plates. They will be delighted if they're hungry, and if not, they will appreciate the gesture.
4. Food: Yes, the food is the most important. But without the above three characteristics, good food still means bad restaurant. The food should be the icing on the cake, it should meet your patrons' expectations if the restaurant furniture, ambience, and service have been up to par. Always serve food piping hot. That shows the customer that it's fresh and hasn't been waiting or neglected. The same goes for bread, if you serve it.
5. Extras: Chances are if you've followed the above tips you shouldn't have trouble filling your restaurant, but there are no guarantees. A wild card like your location or a longstanding local competitor may make it difficult. If that's the case, think about what you can do to further set your restaurant apart. Live music, a wide wine or beer selection, new dishes, specialty cocktails, original art, candles, an open kitchen, or a new web site can all further distinguish your restaurant from the others.
Don't be afraid to get creative and break the mold. When people go out to dinner, they often want to be entertained - and that includes every aspect of a restaurant from the food to the restaurant furniture.

History of Baking
Author: Timbo
Baking has been many cultures' favorite technique for creating snacks, desserts, and accompaniments to meals for many years. Now, it is very well-known as the method for creating sweets and all sorts of wondrous mouthwatering pastries. In ancient history, the first evidence of baking occurred when humans took wild grass grains, soaked it in water, and mixed everything together, mashing it into a kind of broth-like paste. Then, the paste was cooked by pouring it onto a flat, hot rock, resulting in a bread-like substance. Later, this paste was roasted on hot embers, which made bread-making easier, as it could now be made anytime fire was created. Around 2500 B.C., records show that the Egyptians already had bread, and may have actually learned the process from the Babylonians. The Greek Aristophanes, around 400 B.C., also recorded information that showed that tortes with patterns and honey flans existed in Greek cuisine. Dispyrus was also created by the Greeks around that time and widely popular; was a donut-like bread made from flour and honey and shaped in a ring; soaked in wine, it was eaten when hot.
In the Roman Empire, baking flourished widely. In about 300 B.C., the pastry cook became an occupation for Romans (known as the pastillarium). This became a very highly respected profession because pastries were considered decadent, and Romans loved festivity and celebration. Thus, pastries were often cooked especially for large banquets, and any pastry cook who could invent new types of tasty treats, unseen at any other banquet, was highly prized. Around 1 A.D., there were more than three hundred pastry chefs in Rome alone, and Cato wrote about how they created all sorts of diverse foods, and flourished because of those foods. Cato speaks of an enormous amount of breads; included amongst these are the libum (sacrificial cakes made with flour), placenta (groats and cress), spira (our modern day flour pretzels), scibilata (tortes), savaillum (sweet cake), and globus apherica (fritters). A great selection of these, with many different variations, different ingredients, and varied patterns, were often found at banquets and dining halls. To bake bread, the Romans used an oven with its own chimney and had grain mills to grind grain into flour.
Eventually, because of Rome, the art of baking became widely known throughout Europe, and eventually spread to the eastern parts of Asia. Bakers often baked goods at home and then sold them in the streets-children loved their goods. In fact, this scene was so common that Rembrandt illustrated a work that depicted a pastry chef selling pancakes in the streets of Germany, and young children surrounding him, clamoring to get a sample. In London, pastry chef sold their goods in handcarts, which were very convenient shops on wheels. This way, they developed a system of "delivery" baked goods to people's households, and the demand for baked goods increased greatly as a result. Finally, in Paris, the first open-air café of baked goods was developed, and baking became an established art throughout the entire world.

Restaurant Pest Control
Author: Jayne Bettles
Pest control in restaurants have become a great cause of concern for restaurant owners. Usually pests and insects tend to grow in places which boost their survival. As a place which deals with eatables, the restaurant serves as the most suitable place for the pests to set up their new living environment. This has become a deadly hindrance in the successful running of restaurant businesses all over the wold. Due to this fact, restaurant owners are forced to spend their major share of earnings on implementing pest control facilities.
The four main pest concerns that the restaurants face are flies, cockroaches, rodents and stored product pests. The restaurant business can come to a stop, if a customer comes to see any insect or other pest in the restaurant. The one important thing that people who come to take food notice is cleanliness. And these pest who roam about in your restaurant can stop people from entering to your food world. So it is vary important for restaurant managers to set up pest control activities that prevent pests from accessing the food servings. Don't create an environment for the pests to establish themselves in your kitchen.
There are several pest control systems available in the market. But utmost care should be taken while implementing them in the restaurant. The pesticides that are used to control pest activities can become a threat to the food served at the restaurant. Hot spots in your restaurant area must be identified and pest control works should be done according to that.
One area where the pest choose to set up their establishment is the restaurant's waste disposal area. If this place is not monitored properly, it can surely become a great menace for you and your customers who come to the restaurant. A good waste management strategy can save you from this ditch.
Using pesticides is another way of warding off insects and flies. But it can create problems if proper care is not taken. Food which is kept open or unattended are vulnerable to get affected by the chemical particles. Proper sanitation and maintenance of your cutlery can save your pocket from pest attacks. If cleanliness is given priority, you can guarantee food supplies free from pest attacks.
Nowadays conventional pest management systems are replaced by scientifically advanced pest control systems. Pest issues differ from restaurant to restaurant. The location and surroundings also play vital role in enhancing pest growth. The most effective pest control solution can be selected with the help of pest professionals who provide customized pest control solutions for restaurant owners. Development of pest can be interrupted by using Insect growth regulators(IGR). The IGRs have chemical ingredients that can hamper the pest life cycle.
Axatax and Pest Busters both specialise in the fields of restaurant pest control, rodent pest control and general pest control.
