This gives a complete guide/manual as to how everything was to be handled including: safety, courtesy, customer and employee relations, deadheading, how to handle boisterous patrons, duties of stewards, waiters-in-charge, chef/cooks,patryman, housekeeping, linen handling, sanitation, how meals are to be served, coffee making, and recopies for standard sauces, etc.
