The class prepare the dishes during the morning session and the waitresses serve it promptly at noon. Allow a waitress for every six guests and two for each course. Change waitresses at each course in order to give more girls experience in serving. Waitresses are responsible for the appearance of the dining room, table furnishings, and decorations. A pretty color scheme adds much to lunches. Select flowers in season. Assign duties of each member of the class. The girls that prepare a course are responsible for the serving of that course to the waitresses on time, and for the clearing away of all dishes that pertain to it. See that the kitchen is ready for inspection by the guests at the close of the luncheon. A capable girl may take charge of the kitchen during the serving and see that all assignments are carried out promptly. The instructor acts as hostess at luncheons. Members of the class with artistic ability may provide the place cards in accordance with the color scheme. Arrange the seating so that each guest appears at her best. Serve the luncheon in not more than 1½ hours' time.
