Covers refer to two foodservice operations, according to the context in which it is being used:

  • When laying a table in readiness for service there are a variety of place settings that may be laid according to the type of meal and service being offered. We refer to this place setting as a certain type of cover being laid. In other words, a cover refers to all necessary cutlery, crockery, glassware and linen required to lay a certain type of place setting for a specific dish or meal. There are covers for a-la-carte refers to the place set for a customer on the table.

LAYING OF COVERS

When deciding on laying of covers, there are two basic service considerations. The first is where cutlery for the meal is to be laid prior to the start of the meal and for all the courses that are to be served. The first approach is known as the ‘a-la-carte cover’, and the second is known as the ‘table d’hote cover’. A-la-carte cover: This cover has a principle that the cutlery for each course will be laid just before each course is served
