Excerpt from Catering Management, Vol. 1: A Comprehensive Guide to the Successful Management of Hotel, Restaurant, Boarding House, Popular Caf�, Tea Rooms, and Every Other Branch of Catering, Including a Section on the Law and the Caterer Public catering is one of the most necessary services in present-day social affairs. It is many-sided, and when carried out conscientiously plays a useful part, whether in town or country.

In modern times it has been regarded as essential to the business prosperity Of any town to be possessed of good hotels and restaurants, for these are admitted conveniences to civilised life in any community.

It is a curious fact that in Great Britain the social and commercial revolution brought about by the coming of railways reacted detriment ally against catering in our midst. Railways withdrew traffic from the highways, diverted the stream of travellers to new channels, and shortened the stay of guests in hostelries. Consequently the old inns - With their many bedrooms and their great stables for posting business, largely deserted by man and beast - suffered terribly, and many fell into decay. The old coffee-houses and better class eating-houses, too, felt the effects of Time's changing hand, though this was due in some substantial measure to clubs Springing up and taking their place. It was not, perhaps, to be wondered at, under the circumstances, that many of the best men in the catering trade sought Openings for their boys in business and industrial fields which were widening out and Offering such alluring prospects.
