The Blue Plate Meal Service Group 3. Castillo Idolor Kollin Macalia Malit Sevilla From: http://www.slideshare.net/ilovesiomai/blueplate-meal-service
The Blue-plate or Apartment Style Meal Service
A meal service wherein the food is arranged and portioned in the kitchen Characterized by the “blue-plate”, a plate that is divided into sections.
The Blue-plate or Apartment Style Meal Service
In contemporary American culture, “Blueplate Special” refers to relatively cheap budget meals consisting of one serving of meat and three servings of vegetables.
The Blue-plate or Apartment Style Service Meal Its origins may be traced to the early decades
of the 1900’s (some sources indicate it started during the late 1800’s), the term “blue plate” coming from actual blue plates that were used in serving the meals. Comparable to the “cafeteria” setting.
Advantages of Blue Plate
Convenient Economical/ Does not occupy too much space Quick Ideal for small dining tables Practical for serving food in children’s parties, when diners are too young or small to get their own food, or do not know their appetite (“Plate Model”) Also used for entertaining large groups for a sitdown service.
Disadvantages of Blue Plate
Often, since the meal is pre-made, the diner is forced to choose between “combos”. Also, the serving sizes are often fixed. The “no substitution” rule is sometimes enforced. Designed for a relatively small number of people.
How is Blue Plate Performed?

After the food is cooked, each dish is placed on a specific portion of the blue plate. Platters are not used. Instead, each portion of the plate is filled with a specific dish directly from the kitchen. The plates may be served before or after the diners are seated, either by a waiter or gotten by the diners themselves.

After the diners are finished, each diner may bring his/her own plate, flatware and beverageware to the kitchen. In other cases, waiters do the clearing.

Individual covers are set with the flatware, beverageware and napkins. Also, serving flatware is not set on the table.
SAMPLE MENU
Steamed Rice, Fried Fish Fillet, Chopsuey, Orange Juice
Steamed Rice, Stewed Beef, Steamed Broccolli, Carrots & Corn, Orange Juice
Significance of the Blue Plate Style
The Blue Plate style emerged to cater to the needs of those strapped for time. Since the food served in the Blue Plate is pre-made and ‘packaged’ in a single plate, it is very convenient for the time-constrained individual. Most Blue Plate meals are less expensive than regular meals.
Significance of the Blue Plate Style
Blue Plate is considered the precursor of modern fast-food meals. With the Blue Plate almost ready-to-eat and conveniently presented, fast food chains have borrowed taken many of the factors that made Blue Plate popular.
Other Meal Services
The Blue Plate style is similar to the cafeteria or karinderia setting. Some karinderias offer complete meals, with meat, vegetables, rice and soup presented in a single plate. The Tray Service is very similar; the main difference is that a tray is used instead of the plate.
