Food & beverage
Food and beverage serving and related workers are the front line of
customer service in restaurants, coffee shops, and other food service
establishments. These workers greet customers, escort them to seats and
hand them menus, take food and drink orders, and serve food and
beverages. They also answer questions, explain menu items and specials,
and keep tables and dining areas clean and set for new diners. Most
work as part of a team, helping coworkers to improve workflow and
customer service.
PHILIPPINES
Beverages & Native Drinks
Bars are everywhere. Outside strictly Muslim areas in the south,
drinking is basic to Filipino social life, and vast quantities of beer,
gin, and rum are consumed. Native rums like Tanduay are good:
five-year-old brands are worth the modest premium. Local gin and whisky
are cheap but inferior. The hot climate is conducive to beer drinking,
and the ubiquitous San Miguel is excellent. Competition comes from Asia
breweries. Manila has numerous open-air beer gardens.
Several kinds of homemade beverages are prevalent in rural areas. Tuba
(coconut wine) is common in coconut-growing areas. Gatherers climb
nutless trees twice a day to collect the sap emanating from the
lopped-off, growing tip of the tree in bamboo tubes. The fresh sap is
sweet and nonalcoholic; allowed to ferment, it becomes sour and mildly
alcoholic and is sometimes dyed with mangrove bark. Tuba can also be
made from the sap of buri and nipa palms. In prime coconut provinces,
such as Laguna and Quezon, the sap is also distilled into lambanog, a
potent liquor. The Ybanag of the Cagayan Valley make layaw, a very
strong corn spirit. In the mountain provinces of Northern Luzon, rice
is fermented to form tapuy (rice wine). The Kalingas and Ilocanos are
noted for basi, a sugarcane wine; at its best, it's deliciously smooth.
Wine from grapes is produced at vineyards in Cebu and Ilocos.

Food and Beverage List By Activity
ADGA Board of Directors Meeting
ADGA pays the cost of the morning and afternoon break refreshments for
both days as well as for lunches both days for ADGA Directors,
Directors Emeriti, ADGA staff, and the court reporter. The Convention
Host Committee works with the ADGA office on more specific food and
beverage requirements.
Day One:
Morning beverages and snacks
Lunch (usually a buffet served either in the meeting room or a
separate dining room)
Afternoon beverages and snacks
Day Two:
Morning beverages and snacks
Lunch (usually a buffet served either in the meeting room or a
separate dining room)
Afternoon beverages and snacks
If an evening session or third day of meetings is required, be sure to
order beverages and appropriate food. Work with the ADGA President and
staff on specific requirements for these extra meetings as well as for
meetings of the Executive Committee.
Banquet and Ball
The Banquet and Ball is usually part of the full registration package.
The Convention Host Committee chooses the menu and usually sells
separate meal tickets as well. The Banquet and Ball usually includes a
cash bar where people can buy drinks throughout the evening.
Breed Club Meetings
While breed club meetings are not ADGA-sponsored activities, they are
usually held at the Convention facility. The individual breed clubs
decide whether food will be served and what type of food they would
like at their meetings. Individual breed club meal or event tickets are
sold both prior to and at the Convention. While the Convention Host
Committee will help the breed clubs make arrangements with the facility
for the room, food, and beverages and will give the facility a head
count, the individual breed clubs are responsible for monitoring the
attendance and appropriate meal tickets at their meetings and paying
for all costs associated with their meetings.
Champagne Brunch
The Champagne Brunch held before the Spotlight Sale is usually part of
the full registration package. The Convention Host Committee chooses
the menu and sells separate meal tickets as well. Champagne is served
both during the brunch and throughout the Sale. The Convention Host
Committee should also offer a cash bar during the Sale. The cash bar
should be in addition to, not in place of, serving Champagne.
Hospitality Area
Food and beverages in the hospitality area are usually provided by the
local host and other groups from the local community. If the host
facility prohibits bringing in outside food, the cost for food and
beverages for the hospitality area will be quite high. (In this case, a
small fee may be charged to help defray these expenses, but this
practice is discouraged.) Most hospitality areas offer coffee and tea,
juices, snack foods, cookies and other baked goods, as well as goat
products, including cheese, salami, and jerky. The cost of the food and
beverages is borne by the local groups. All of the preceding should be
specified in the Letter of Agreement signed between the local host
group and the ADGA Annual Meeting Committee.
Judges Training Conference
ADGA pays the cost of the morning and afternoon break refreshments for
both days as well as the cost of lunch for the panel, Training
Conference staff, and animal handlers. Candidates, auditors,
spectators, and Convention Host Committee staff usually purchase a meal
ticket for lunch.
Day One:
Morning beverages and snacks
Box or buffet lunch
Afternoon beverages and snacks
Day Two:
Morning beverages and snacks
Box, buffet, or fast food lunch (depending on the site where Day Two is held)

Morning beverages and snacks
Box or buffet lunch
Afternoon beverages and snacks
Welcome Dinner
The Welcome Dinner is usually part of the full registration package.
The Convention Host Committee chooses the menu and sells separate meal

Wine and Cheese Party/Goat Products Showcase
The ADGA Products Committee sponsors this event, arranges for both the
cheese and the wine, and sets up the food presentation. This activity
may or may not be included in full registrations. (Historically, if the
Products Committee pays for the cheese, then the event is included in
the full week's registration fee.) Separate tickets are sold for this
event. The Convention Host Committee works with the Chair of the
Products Committee to determine the fee for this event.
Youth Banquet
The Youth Banquet is usually part of the full registration package for
adults and youth. The Convention Host Committee and Youth Committee
Chair choose the menu and usually sell separate meal tickets as well.
Youth Program
The Youth Program will have special requirements (pizza, hot-dogs and
hamburgers, etc.) that the Convention Host Committee needs to
accommodate. The Convention Host Committee should work with the Chair
of the Youth Program to organize the necessary menu choices for each
day of the Youth Program.
