When you fly on a corporate jet, you don't serve wrapped sandwiches or tea and coffee in a Styrofoam cup to the passengers. No way! Corporate jet catering is almost like dining in a five-star restaurant. Passengers have a choice of meal and it is served on real plates with real cutlery. Along with having the appropriate flight attendant training, in order to work in this area of the aviation industry, you need to have training in the preparation and serving of meals. The catering is one of the upscale services that comes with flying and working on a corporate jet and provides passengers with a luxurious flying experience.
The catering process starts long before the flight departs. As a corporate flight attendant, you are responsible for submitting the request for food to the caterer you use in a city and in overseeing the preparation of the food at the caterers facility. Then you have to make sure the food is transported to the aircraft properly and then you need the know-how and experience to prepare and present this food onboard.
Personal hygiene is of utmost importance in a corporate flight attendant in the preparation of food during the flight. This is to ensure that all the food served to passengers is germ free so that it won't cause any gastrointestinal illnesses either during the flight or just afterwards. The main thing you have to realize is that the food is cooked when you receive it and the part you play in cooking the food on the plane is to reheat it. There are certain things that you must keep in mind when doing this.
1. Always make sure the oven is heated to the right temperature before you put the food inside to reheat it.
2. Do not uncover the food in the reheating process because this will cause it to dry out. Always use a liquid in conjunction with the food to keep it moist.
3. Use a temperature probe to ensure that all foods are heated all the way through.
