Messages from students

    Contents and working conditions

Many who are not familiar with the peculiarities of the specialty “Catering Technologist” listen with curiosity, catching the word “technology”. And they are disappointed when they learn that we are talking, for example, about food production technologists. But representatives of this specialty are often engaged in no less serious work than their namesakes - industrial engineers. They develop and improve existing production processes, monitor the efficiency of labor organization and solve emerging production problems. The technologist determines the quality of the products, calculates their quantity to obtain ready-made dishes. Creates a menu. Distributes responsibilities between cooks and supervises their work. Responsible for the serviceability of equipment and the quality of prepared dishes. Promotes the introduction of progressive technological processes for producing products and improving the organization of services to the population. Develops programs to ensure improved quality of food services. Carries out the development and approval of new recipes for dishes, confectionery and culinary products with the preparation of relevant regulatory documents. Prepares proposals to expand the range and introduce new types of raw materials. Carries out operational control over the quality and compliance with food preparation technology. Takes part in the training, retraining and advanced training of production personnel, taking into account the requirements of a market economy. Explores factors that are important for the successful implementation of services provided, demand, the reasons for its increase and decrease, differentiation from the purchasing power of the population. Promotes the balanced development of the catering services sector, prepares proposals for choosing and changing directions for the development of the assortment, production, economic and business activities. Studies the market for similar services and its development trends.

2. Historical information about the specialty “Technology of public catering products”

Food production technology has improved along with more “serious” areas. From simple slaughter of livestock and harvesting, people moved on to processing individual products and synthesizing new ones from them. The profession of a technologist itself is not new, but it took shape in its modern form after a period of general shortage, when products poured in from all sides and the need to make their own led to companies’ need for specialists to control the production process.

The profession of food preparation technologist has existed for a very long time, although the name of this profession appeared relatively recently. Back in Ancient Greece, the cult of Axlepius, a mythical physician healer, arose. His daughter Hygeia was considered the patroness of health science, and their faithful assistant was the cook Kulina. She became the patroness of cooking, which was called "cooking" (from the Latin culina - kitchen). Records of various recipes are found in the written monuments of Babylon, Egypt, and China. Cooking developed greatly in the ancient East. In the Middle Ages, French cooks became famous for their art. In Russia, cooking as a science arose only at the end of the 18th century. The emergence of out-of-home catering enterprises (taverns, taverns, etc.) is associated with the same event. It was at this time that people appeared who simultaneously managed such establishments and supervised the preparation of food. The first representatives of the profession of “food preparation technologist” can be called people who tasted and tasted royal or royal food. These people have always enjoyed the respect and trust of kings and kings.

Today, due to the presence of a large number of different public catering enterprises, this profession does not lose its relevance.

3. Misconceptions about the earnings of catering technologists

The demand for food production technologists often exceeds supply, especially when it comes to highly specialized industries. This was largely influenced by the stereotype about low wages, which, due to the dynamic development of the food industry and active exports, is gradually being destroyed: food industry technologists often earn more than economists or enterprise managers.

4. Mass character and uniqueness of the profession

Like many other professions related to labor automation and the need to maintain market interest in their products, the profession of a technologist requires, first of all, not a theoretical basis, but a certain “creative spirit.” A specialist in this field must be both unique and universal in his own way - such conditions are dictated to him by the modern economy.

5. Problems that may arise

When young professionals start work, they can feel all the “charm” of it - first of all, considerable physical endurance is required of them. A technologist’s working day is often not limited to eight hours, if only because it is impossible to know in advance what problems and malfunctions will arise during the production process.

6. Where to get a profession

Special education is necessary for any applicant for such a position. His “start” can be either a technological university specializing specifically in food technology, or, say, a chemical institute - it all depends on how highly specialized the work awaits him. The most reputable educational institutions are those that specialize in several technological areas. The graduate goes through the ranks from junior to chief technologist and can subsequently become a production manager. Our “Shebekinsky Agrotechnical Craft College” in its short history of training in the specialty “Technology of Catering Products” has achieved success in educational, methodological and educational work, is expanding its staff, strengthening its material and technical base, and has managed to accumulate significant potential in all areas of activity.

7. What have we learned?

Apply current legislation and regulatory framework on issues of professional activity; carry out production planning, draw up menus of daily food rations for various categories of consumers; ensure rational and efficient organization of the technological process of production and sale of finished products, possess practical skills in the preparation of culinary and confectionery products; predict changes in the properties of raw materials during culinary processing, reduce commodity losses and standardized technological waste; monitor compliance with the standards for laying raw materials, the sequence of operations of the technological process; make the necessary technological calculations; develop new types of products, regulatory and technological documentation for them; ensure the provision of services taking into account the needs of different categories of consumers; introduce progressive forms and methods of service; carry out quality control of raw materials, finished products, and services provided; identify defective products, identify and prevent the causes of their occurrence; monitor compliance with sanitary and hygienic requirements at all stages of the technological process of production and sales of products; ensure rational selection and proper operation of technological equipment; prevent and regulate conflict situations; develop and implement measures to prevent industrial injuries and occupational diseases.

8. The basis for a successful career for college graduates – good basic training and providing them with adequate practice.

Employment prospects are promising for graduates of all technical school specialties: technologists, pastry chefs. In the future, the demand for them will increase. Over the past years, our technical school has acquired a special face, a special creative style. We can not only observe the wonderful fruits of his work at various exhibitions and festive events, but also taste them in our cafes and restaurants. The competition entries of students and teachers are always impressive, drawing us to the idea that food can also bring aesthetic pleasure.

We are happy with our chosen profession!

The profession of a catering technologist has always been and still remains one of the most common professions in the labor market, since society has always been interested in high-quality prepared, tasty and healthy food.

The purpose of the abstract: to find out the importance and demand for the specialty of catering technologist.

Objectives of the essay: to characterize the industry of the profession of catering technologist, to describe the content of work and requirements for professional training.

Relevance of the topic: the social significance of the topic is determined by the demand and relevance in the labor market, and this specialty is my future profession.

“Characteristics of the branch of the profession of catering technologist”

So, the profession of a technologist is very responsible and includes many functions, the key of which are the development, production, sale and quality control of culinary and confectionery products, serving consumers and providing services as a technologist in public catering establishments.

It should be noted that the public catering industry contains three components, namely: public catering enterprises, procurement enterprises, or public catering shops and pre-preparation enterprises. The former carry out the production of culinary products, flour confectionery and bakery products, as well as their sale and organization of consumption. The second is the centralized mechanized production of semi-finished products, culinary products, flour confectionery and bakery products, supplying them to pre-production enterprises, culinary stores and retail outlets. And third - preparing dishes from semi-finished products and culinary products, their sale and organization of consumption.

In addition to the above enterprises, this also includes specialized catering enterprises of various types, which produce and sell culinary products of a homogeneous assortment, taking into account the specifics of serving and organizing leisure time for consumers. These include restaurants, bars, cafes, canteens, snack bars, etc.

A restaurant is a catering establishment with a wide range of complexly prepared dishes, including custom and signature dishes. It is distinguished by an increased level of service in combination with the organization of recreation for visitors. Based on the range of products sold, restaurants can specialize as: fish, beer, national cuisine, etc.

The bar has a limited range of products: alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, snacks, desserts, pastries and bakery products. The work areas of bars do not provide for cooking or washing greasy dishes. The method of implementation is through the bar counter. Based on their assortment, bars are divided into: dairy bars, beer bars, wine bars, cocktail bars, grill bars, etc. Based on the specifics of the additional service - video bar, variety bar, strip bar, etc. Based on operating hours, they also distinguish between day and night bars bars.

A cafe is an enterprise providing food and recreation for visitors with a limited range of products compared to a restaurant. According to the range of products sold, they are divided into: ice cream parlor, confectionery cafe, dairy cafe; by contingent - for youth, children, etc.

A canteen is a catering establishment that is publicly accessible or serves a specific contingent, producing and selling culinary products. Based on the range of dishes sold, canteens are divided into general types and dietary ones. The dietary canteen specializes in the preparation and sale of dietary dishes

Snack bar is a food establishment with a limited assortment of uncomplicated dishes, designed to quickly serve visitors. Based on the range of products sold, snack bars are divided into general and specialized enterprises: dumplings, sausage, pancake, pie, donut, cheburek, shashlik, tea, glass, pyshetka, etc.; by type of implementation - snack bar, bistro, cafeteria, etc.

Catering establishments can be located both in public places accessible to all citizens (the so-called public network), and on the territory of institutions and enterprises, serving only the people working there (the so-called closed network). In the public network, in addition to individual enterprises of different owners, uniformly managed groups of technologically interconnected food enterprises and related enterprises are distinguished. These subnets - if they have a single owner - are also called "power networks" from an organizational point of view. The largest of them have branded (“Russian Bistro”, “McDonald’s”) or functional (“School Canteen Network”) names.

At any catering enterprise there is a person who is responsible for absolutely all processes occurring in production. There is a big burden on his shoulders, but he fulfills his duties with honor.

The profession of a technologist implies not only hard work, but also limitless opportunities for introducing new ideas and initiatives, flights of creative imagination, as well as enormous prospects for career growth.

Professional Responsibilities

The description of the responsibilities of a technologist will take many lines, since more and more new ones are added to them every year. Previously, catering establishments were subject to fewer requirements than today. Therefore, the presence of a technologist at each of them was optional. The recipes have not changed for years, and practically no new dishes have been introduced. The cooks simply cooked according to established schemes, and the production manager dealt with the paperwork.

In the modern world, in conditions of fierce competition, it is impossible to do without a technologist, since it depends on him how popular a cafe, canteen, or restaurant will become among consumers, and what kind of income they will generate.

The main responsibilities of a food service technician or engineer include:

  • development of new dishes and preparation of technological cards for them;
  • drawing up a work schedule for all workshops in production;
  • quality control of manufactured products;
  • study of the catering services market;
  • distribution of responsibilities among staff;
  • study and implementation of new technologies;
  • monitoring the serviceability of equipment and the availability of necessary inventory;
  • organizing the supply of raw materials for production;
  • work with documents;
  • monitoring compliance with sanitation and hygiene standards;
  • organization of banquets and presentations;
  • development of a plan for the reconstruction of production workshops.

Education

You can study to become a production technician at a college or technical school. The process can take from three to five years. At the same time, you initially need to obtain a specialty as a cook and pastry chef, and only then can you become a production technician. Without knowledge of recipes and the principles of cooking, training in this profession will be inappropriate. Upon completion of a special educational institution, a fifth category is assigned. After this, you can work as a technologist or manager. production in any public catering establishment (restaurant, cafe, canteen), as well as in meat processing plants, canning factories, fish processing shops, dairies, shops for the production of semi-finished products.

In addition to the specifics of cooking, future food service technicians and engineers study subjects such as:

  • physiology of nutrition;
  • microbiology;
  • sanitation and hygiene;
  • foreign service;
  • chemistry (organic, inorganic, analytical and physical colloid);
  • biochemistry;
  • organization of enterprises;
  • processes and devices;
  • equipment;
  • merchandising;
  • management;
  • marketing;
  • basics of economics;
  • standardization and metrology;
  • psychology of business relationships.

One becomes a process engineer after graduating from a higher educational institution. The amount of knowledge gained in this case will be much greater, but it will also take 5–6 years to master the profession. After graduating from a university, technological engineers can not only work in their specialty, but also engage in teaching. In addition, they will be happy to be seen in laboratories at large plants and factories as research assistants.

The curriculum, in addition to the above subjects, includes such disciplines as engineering graphics, thermal engineering, electrical engineering, and theoretical mechanics. At the end of the educational process, the process engineer receives the title of chef of the sixth category.

Work and career

Without experience, organizing the work of a catering enterprise will be quite difficult. Therefore, even with an education, in a small cafe or restaurant a specialist first has to show his professional skills by working as a cook. By showing sufficient initiative and zeal in work in a relatively short time, you can become a chef and technologist rolled into one. Over time, such a specialist can grow to become a manager or director of a company operating in the catering industry.

At large enterprises, a novice process engineer will first have to be an assistant to a more experienced colleague. Then, after that, he begins to independently perform his immediate duties. As you climb the career ladder, you can become chief technologist, production manager, deputy director or director of an enterprise.

The main advantage of working as a technologist is the opportunity to do what you love while receiving a decent salary. An important fact: you have to spend your entire life learning and improving your skills, discovering new horizons and introducing innovative ideas.

Another positive point is the high demand for technicians and process engineers due to the opening of a large number of cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, and meat, poultry, and fish processing shops.

Personal qualities

To work in any catering enterprise, you must have certain personal qualities. A process engineer must have an excellent memory, pronounced creative abilities, and excellent aesthetic taste. Communication skills and the ability to find reasonable compromises are needed to maintain a friendly atmosphere in the team. However, the technologist and engineer must be as demanding as possible of their subordinates. The ability to think quickly and creatively will be useful in the event of force majeure circumstances.

An engineer or production technician must have a highly developed sensitivity to the subtlest shades of smell and taste. The ability to visually determine how much a product weighs is highly valued. Having organizational skills will make it easy to establish the flawless operation of all departments of a public catering enterprise.

Another main criterion for the professionalism of a process engineer is excellent physical endurance, since in order to achieve good results he often has to work beyond normal limits, be on his feet or in a sitting position for a long time, stay in rooms with high or low temperatures, as well as in places with high temperatures. humidity. Therefore, people with diseases of the cardiovascular, digestive system, musculoskeletal system and respiratory organs are recommended to opt for another specialty. Persons who have a source of chronic infection in their body are strictly prohibited from working at a catering establishment.

In order to become a true professional in your field, you must devote yourself completely to your work. You need to exchange experiences with colleagues, read articles, follow the latest in the culinary and confectionery industry on the Internet, subscribe to specialized publications, attend exhibitions and professional competitions - then the result will not be long in coming!
