F & B : TABLETOP
SURVIVING THE ELEMENTS
In crafting its Biergarten , Andaz Wall Street in New York City wanted to use materials authentic to the experience , but because the space is in an outdoor courtyard , tabletop pieces needed to be durable . Consequently , the Biergarten features German mustard in a squeeze tube to eliminate mess and breakage potential , and snacks are served in plastic baskets lined with recycled paper . “ This shatter-proof serving dish is easily stackable and transportable for our staff , which cuts down on trips to the dishwasher and time spent cleaning up dishware that may fall and break on the concrete ,” explains Ian Grant , food and beverage director at Andaz Wall Street .
Bella Beach , the new beachfront restaurant and lounge at Trump International Beach Resort in Sunny Isles Beach , Florida , must account for “ a lot more maintenance ” because of the outlet ’ s location , says Director of Catering and Conference Services Mark Young . “ If you think about outdoor venues on the beach , you almost have to think in terms of the way a yacht is maintained , where things are constantly being polished or wiped or washed down ,” he adds .
Terry Hamada , director of F & B at Halekulani in Honolulu , notes that for his property ’ s House Without A Key indoor / outdoor beachside space , even details are important — such as the candlelit lanterns on the tables . “ The lanterns are made of glass , which withstands the saltwater corrosion and the rain ,” Hamada says . “ The frosted globe is short , so it won ’ t be blown over easily , and with a small opening , so the breezes won ’ t extinguish the flame .”
For outdoor dining spaces , however , the battle with the elements is ongoing . Nicolas Goelen , director of F & B at Sofitel Plaza Hanoi , notes that for the terrace at the 20th floor Summit Lounge , the hotel is still searching for tabletop pieces that can better resist Hanoi ’ s extreme weather .
Tables at Bella Beach at Trump International Beach Resort , which feature acrylic glassware and tempered glass atop weatherresistant rattan , must be wiped down constantly because of sand and saltwater .
