    CHAPTER I.

    INSTITUTIONAL AND OPERATIONAL BACKGROUND

    HISTORY OF THE RESTAURANT

    Like any humble beginning, La Parilla started in 1968 as a

    small restaurant known as La Parilla 1500. It began as a hole-

    in-the-wall eating place along Burgos Avenue opened by couple

    Pablo Sr. and Conchita Padilla. The restaurant was the first

    air-conditioned restaurant in Cabanatuan City and it was met

    with warm support by the city folks. The business prospered and

    allowed husband and wife to support their growing family. Pablo

    Sr. had big dreams and chased them fearlessly; he and his wife

    wanted a bigger venue where they could entertain more so on May

    31st 1972, La Parilla 1900 in Zulueta and Melencio Streets

    opened its doors to Cabanatueos. La Parilla 1900 was a first

    of its kind, complete with a dancing hall and a five-piece

    band. It became a place of good memories and celebration. As

    in any loving Filipino home, Pablo Sr. did most of the

    entertaining while Conchita, patient and talented, ran her

    kitchen thus giving birth to La Parillas signature Filipino and

    Continental dishes.

    The unfortunate passing of the senior Pablo in August 1973,

    led the eldest son Pablo Jr., equally determined and strong-

    willed, to step up and fill his fathers shoes with the support

    and guidance of his mother. Mother and son team persevered and

    remained keen for continuous learning in business. They sailed

    thru the challenges and a deluxe hotel had been added to the

    chain of restaurants in 1976, placing Cabanatuan City in the

    tourism map of the country. Mother and son took it upon

    themselves to widen their scope and learn as much as they could

    about the business. Pablo Jr. took classes in Housekeeping and

    Hotel Management conducted by leading mentors from Cornell

    University while Conchita took a Restaurant Management courseunder the same program. She also took up Food and Beverage

    Management and Services from the Philippine Institute of Hotel

    Administration; and engaged in French and Continental Cooking

    and Baking courses from the famed Le Cordon Bleu Manille. All

    her wisdom intended to be a gift from mother to son. In 1972,

    La Parilla was given the rare opportunity to be one of the five

    elected representatives all over the country to attend the Asia

    and Australia Hotel and Restaurant Association held in Bangkok,

    Thailand. Through the years the business has grown and

    expanded; while the smaller 1500 has since closed further

    improvements have been devoted to the current La Parilla Hotel

    with an additional ballroom and a 16-room west wing.

    Conching was one of the very first recipients of the Ang

    Natatanging Anak ng Kabanatuan (ANAK) award for her

    contributions in commerce during the early days of the

    developing city. Pablo Jr. deservingly received the same award

    in 1996 for the category Pangasiwaang Hotel.

    Throughout Conchitas retirement, her children and grand

    children continued to be her inspiration. She was both the

    silent supporter and the quiet guidance her son and

    grandchildren needed. June 2006 marked the demise of the

    matriarch and Pablo Jr. persisted with the help of his own ablebrood.

    Today, his own family continues to embrace the legacy with

    his wife, Luisa, his five children and two adorable

    grandchildren. La Parilla Hotel is 43 years strong, still

    standing and is ready for its new blood.

    and weaknesses and strengths are examined last. After creating a list of threats, opportunistic,weaknesses and strengths, managers examine ways the company can take advantage of opportunities

    and minimize threats by exploiting strengths and overcoming weaknesses.

    As for La Parilla, its strengths are:

    Market leadership

  • 7/27/2019 OJT DOC Kaz

    24/34

    Commitment in research and development

    Adequate financial resource

    Location advantage

    Strong management team

    Well-trained staff

    La Parilla has earned market leadership when it comes to the

    hospitality in Cabanatuan City, and even in the neighboring cities.

    Their steady commitment in research and development allowed them to

    grow and constantly remain on top.

    Its weaknesses are:

    High in prices

    Very business oriented and not family oriented enough

    No special transportation shuttle (to the bus terminal)

    La Parilla lacks in services that caters to families. That is

    one weakness I have observed throughout my OJT. They do not

    have special transportation shuttle that can bring guests to

    and from the terminals.

    Its opportunities are:

    New services

    Increasing number of guests

    Unique experience in luxurious hotels

    The possibility of offering new services are always available.

    Their steady commitment in research and development will surely

    allow them to come up with new ideas soon.

    Its threats are:

    Numerous competitors in the city

    Lack of training man power in the hotel industry.

    Consumers desire for the full five star experience

    Business should thrive while beating their competitors. La

    Parilla can seek employment from other neighboring cities if

    they cannot find suitable individuals residing in Cabanatuan.

    They also need to add more services and facilities to enable

    their guests to full five star experience.

    NARRATIVE REPORT

    On our first day, we had and orientation where we talked

    about the history of the hotel, the people behind its success,

  • 7/27/2019 OJT DOC Kaz

    26/34

    the policies, codes of conducts, etc. We were given thorough

    explanation as to how everything works, from the machineries to

    the proper way of folding linens. We were given a tour inside

    the whole facility, they also introduced us to the whole staff

    of La Parilla Hotel.

    It was also during the first week where we were tasked to

    clean and set up laundry and storage rooms, and all common

    areas.

    The second week of my OJT involves laundry and housekeeping

    duties. Much of a guests overall impression of the hotel

    relates to its cleanliness; therefore we were informed thathousekeeping plays a crucial role in ensuring an exceptional

    guest experience.

    We also have the chance to help out with events. Since

    December is a monthful of celebrations, there are a lot of

    parties and La parilla is one place where Cabanatuenos love to

    celebrate. This is the fun part of my OJT experience.

    We learned that a restaurants atmosphere sets the stage.

    Its about more than just a dining room away from home. Food

    takes the spotlight as guests become its audience. We learned

    how factors such as music, lighting, artwork and spacing combine

    to create comfort, intimacy and even romance to set the mood for

    the event.

    As weeks go by, we experience the actual housekeeping

    procedures. From cleaning the rooms, changing linens, cleaning

    and scrubbing toilets, and taking away trash.

    Working in the service industry provided me with the

    opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. You're likely

    learning how to read people, which is a valuable skill.

    Additionally, the camaraderie and fun you likely have with your

    fellow employees doesn't exist in all working environments.

    During my OJT, I learned a lot. I learned how to

    communicate and understand well what customer service is,

    specially in food service department. I have many chances of

    applying all I've learn. I became more responsible about

  • 7/27/2019 OJT DOC Kaz

    27/34

    regulations and follow every set standards. I have realized that

    being punctual is more important than being industrious.

    Reflecting back, the training was a perfect venue to hone

    ones skills handling and communicating with people, skillsdoing the job and preparing to become competitive as HRM

    students and a future key player in the hospitality industry.

    As I am very grateful to all the learning I gained from my

    mentors, this training made me become a flexible person and able

    to easily adjust to any given situation and condition-this

    indeed helping me through to becoming a real professional in the

    world of hospitality industry.

    I also learned that as someone who works on a

    caf/restaurant, I should possess a pleasant demeanor, be a good

    listener and always be polite and approachable. Dissatisfied

    customers are liable to make their complaints audible, so I need

    display patience and a restrained temperament to successfully

    allay their concerns. I also learned that I should be capable of

    learning quickly and efficiently as poor service is rarelytolerated in the service sector. I have observed that duties are

    unlikely to be strictly scheduled so an we often need to switch

    from one role to another on an impromptu basis. Additionally, I

    learned that I need to be attentive to customer requests and

    adept at taking and recalling orders accurately. The capacity to

    work well within a team is also essential because we need to

    work closely with co-workers to speedily fill and serve customer

    orders.

    IMPROVEMENTS OF THE PRACTICUM TRAINING PROGRAM

    A. About Self I think I must improve my time

    management. Sometimes I came late especially on Friday

    because I must report in school

    B. For La Parilla Hotel I think they must improve the

    scheduling of time of their OJT students in order to go

    home early especially for those who travel from far places.

    C. For the OJT ProgramI think they must improve the OJTprogram because I felt that we were late on having OJT. We

    have co-OJT students in other schools and they were only

    2ndyear and yet they were having an OJT.
