Ukubaluleka kokuTya noKhuseleko lokuTya kuHambo noKhenketho

Xa kuziwa ekulungiseleleni ukutya kunye nemikhwa elungileyo yokhuseleko lokutya, nangona kunjalo, ukukhululeka kakhulu kunokutshabalalisa iholide okanye kupheliswe esibhedlele. Nangona kungekho mntu usandul’ ukudibanisa ukhuseleko lokutya nezenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho okanye ubugrogrisi, oku kuye kwenzeka kwixesha elidluleyo. Njengoko sifundile ngexesha lobhubhani we-Covid-19, impilo yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yokhuseleko lokhenketho. Ngokunjalo, ukhuseleko lokutya kufuneka lube yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yoshishino lokhenketho oluzinzileyo. Kufuneka sijonge kuphela ezinye iingxaki ezithe zafunyanwa lishishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa kwixesha elidlulileyo ukwazi ukuba umgangatho wokutya kwethu kunye namanzi, kunye nendlela esiwakhusela ngayo, zizinto ezibalulekileyo zokhenketho oluyimpumelelo kunye nohambo.  

Umba wokhuseleko lokutya ubaluleke ngakumbi kwiinyanga zasehlotyeni xa uhambo lukwincopho yalo kwaye abantu abaninzi bathanda ukubamba iipiknikhi ezingekho sikweni, ii-barbecues kunye/okanye amatheko aselwandle. Izigidi zabantu kwihlabathi liphela zinxulumanisa ezi ndibano zemozulu ishushu zingekho sikweni kunye namava abo eholide okanye nolonwabo oluhle nolusempilweni. Kuthatha, nangona kunjalo, isihlandlo esinye kuphela sokutya okonakeleyo okanye ukutyhefelwa kokutya ngokungazi ukuba konakalise iholide yomntu okanye isidima sommandla.

Ukutya kuchaphazela uhambo lwethu kunye namava ethu eholide, kwaye kunamandla okwenza iindwendwe zethu zibe nokonwaba okanye zinomsindo. Umzekelo, sinokuqikelela ukuba esinye sezizathu ezininzi zokuba uhambo lwenqwelomoya ngoku ludla ngokubizwa ngokuba "yi-flightmeres" phakathi kwezinye izizathu zomgangatho ophantsi (okanye ukungabikho) kokutya kwenqwelomoya. Kwilizwe le-post-Covid labakhenkethi kuye kwafuneka bajongane namaxabiso okutya anyusiweyo kwaye la maxabiso aphezulu anempembelelo zokutyela iindleko kodwa iindleko zizonke zeholide zasehlotyeni. Ukutya okunexabiso eligqithileyo akunyusi kuphela iindleko ezipheleleyo zeholide zasehlotyeni kodwa kunempembelelo kwindlela abatyeleli abajonga ngayo indawo kunye nomnqweno wabo wokubuyela kuloo ndawo. Xa sidibanisa ukutya okunexabiso eliphezulu kunye nomba wokhuseleko lokutya okanye ucoceko, ngoko akukho mali yokuthengisa, ubuncinane kwixesha elifutshane, inokulungisa isidima sendawo yezokhenketho. 

Ukukunceda ukuba ucinge ngefuthe lokutya kwicandelo lakho leshishini lezokhenketho, nceda uqwalasele oku kulandelayo.

-Dibana neerestaurate malunga nokhuseleko lweebar zesaladi kunye neebuffets. Isenzo sokuqala sobugrogrisi bokutya kwimbali yanamhlanje senzeke ngeminyaka yoo-1980 kwiLizwe laseOregon. Abantu abaninzi kakhulu kukhenketho kunye neshishini lokuhamba abakaqalisi ukucinga ngale ngxaki inokwenzeka.

– Sebenza ngemiboniso yasekuhlaleni kunye nemisitho. Uninzi lwemisitho yasemaphandleni neminyhadala inika ukutya, kodwa kunqabile ukuba iqwalasele imiba yolawulo lomngcipheko. Kwiimeko ezininzi, iingxaki zokutya ezenzeka kumthendeleko zinokuphetshwa kunye nesicwangciso esongezelelweyo kunye nokulumkisa. Iingcali zokhenketho kufuneka zizibuze ukuba ngaba umphathi wesiganeko/umthendeleko uthathe ikhosi yokhuseleko lokutya, ingaba ingqwalasela engakanani enikwe ingqalelo kwimiba yolawulo lomngcipheko, kwaye yeyiphi imigaqo-nkqubo nemigaqo enokuthi isebenze xa kukho ingxaki.

– Sebenza kunye neebhodi zempilo zendawo. Ishishini lezokhenketho lingatshatyalaliswa yimbono yoluntu yokuba ukutya apho akukhuselekanga. Ngoku iilori zokutya zithandwa kakhulu kwihlabathi jikelele. Qiniseka ukuba ezi lori ziyayifezekisa imigangatho yokhuseleko lokutya yamazwe ngamazwe. Jonga ukuze ubone ukuba amanzi okusela nemithombo yokusela akhuselekile. Ngokomzekelo, amazwe aliqela akuMbindi Merika akhathazwa sisibakala sokuba abantu abaninzi bekholelwa ukuba abawaniki amanzi acocekileyo okusela, ukutya okusempilweni, okanye ukungabikho kwenkqubo yagutyulo ngokubanzi. Nanini na xa ubona ukunyhashwa kwempilo, kuxele kumnini kunye nabasemagunyeni abafanelekileyo. Khumbula ukuba kuthatha kancinci kakhulu ukutshabalalisa ishishini lezokhenketho.

-Ukuba uligosa lezokhenketho, i-concierge yehotele, okanye unike iingcebiso zabatyeleli malunga nokuba ungatya phi, yiba unolwazi. Iindawo zokutyela zihlala zifika kwaye zihamba ngesantya esikhawulezayo kwaye utshintsho lobunini luxhaphakile kwishishini lokutyela. Chaneka kwaye usexesheni ngolwazi lwakho. Ukwazi ukucebisa abantu kungekuphela ngokuthanda kwabo kodwa nangoluhlu lwamaxabiso.

– Yenza iimenyu ngeelwimi ezininzi. Kwiindawo apho kukho iindwendwe ezivela kwiindawo ezininzi, yenza iimenyu zeelwimi ezininzi. Ukuba akukho baguquleli, thetha nekholeji yasekuhlaleni okanye ootitshala besikolo samabanga aphakamileyo beelwimi zasemzini.

– Ukuqeqesha iiweyitala kunye nabalindi ukuba babe novakalelo ngokwenkcubeko nangokwezonyango. Ukuba umntu akaceli inyama yengulube, musa ukuzisa isaladi kunye ne-bacon bits. Fundisa abasebenzi bakho ukuba bangaze bathi: "yinto nje encinci." Iiweyitara kunye nabalindi kufuneka baqhelane nomxholo wemenyu kwaye ukuba oko akunakwenzeka, baqeqeshe ukuba babuze kunokuba benze impendulo. Kwihlabathi elinemiqathango yenkcubeko, yonqulo, yempilo neyokwala, umgaqo onjalo ubalulekile.

– Qaphela imiba yezonyango kwaye uqinisekise ukuba bonke abantu benkonzo yokutya basempilweni. Umzekelo, ukuba umntu otyeleleyo akadibani namandongomane, qiniseka ukuba uxelela umxhasi ukuba kusetyenziswe ioyile yamandongomane xa kulungiswa ukutya okuthile. Kwangokunjalo, lumkela i-shellfish kwabo bangafuniyo kwaye ungaze ucele umngeni kumxhasi othi akanakutya ukutya okuthile. Kwakhona, abanikezeli bokutya abaninzi boyika ukuphulukana nomvuzo wosuku xa begula. Nika iintsuku zokugula ezaneleyo ukuze umpheki okanye iiweyitara/iiweyitara zingakuphathi ukutya xa egula.

– Ukufundisa iingcali zokhenketho malunga nokuba yintoni na kwaye yintoni engekhoyo. Uluntu luhlala lufuna iindawo eziphuma endleleni okanye ezingaqhelekanga. Qeqesha abasebenzi ukuba baqhube abantu abafuna ukutya okunjalo kwezi ntlobo zeendawo. Rhoqo, ngaphandle kwendlela yokutyela ineshedyuli ekhethekileyo kwaye kunzima ukuyifumana. La maxesha ngamaxesha enkonzo yabathengi. Ukuzinika ixesha lokufowunela undwendwe, ukunika ulwalathiso okanye ukunceda umntu ngenye indlela ekhethekileyo kuya kuba yinxalenye yamava okutya.

– Gxininisa ukutya okukhethekileyo okanye izitya zasekuhlaleni. Uluntu lwakho okanye umtsalane usenokungabi yiParis, New Orleans, okanye iNew York, kodwa ke yintoni? Ukwenza impembelelo yokutya, konke okufuneka ukwenze kukuphuhlisa isitya esinye sendawo kwaye emva koko usipapashe. Ngendlela efanayo, i-ambience inokongeza into eninzi kumava okutya. Ngokwenyani, uhlobo lwe-ambience okanye i-decor ayibalulekanga kangako kunento yokuba iyahlangabezana nokulindelwe luluntu. Umzekelo, iindawo zokutyela ezininzi ezisezantsi zeSixeko saseNew York ezisezantsi kwi-East Side zenze umfanekiso woburhalarhume obunomda wobukrwada obonakala ulingana nokulindelweyo kwaye iye yaba luhlobo lwayo lomtsalane lwabakhenkethi. Uluntu luya kwenza okuseleyo.

-Ngokwembono yokhenketho, ubudala be-franchise ekhawulezayo inokuba sele ifikile ixesha layo. Ukhenketho lumalunga namava amatsha, kwaye iindawo zokutyela ezininzi ezikhawulezayo azikhange zifumane indlela yokuxuba ukusebenza kakuhle kunye nokutya kwasekhaya. Uninzi lwabo aluzange lunciphise kuphela abasebenzi benkonzo kwaye lubonise inkangeleko enganeno yezempilo. Abakhenkethi abafuni kutya ukutya abanako ekhaya. Ukongeza kule ngxaki, iindawo ezininzi zokutyela zokutya okukhawulezayo ziyancipha kwaye zingasebenzi kakuhle. Njengoko ishishini lokutya okukhawulezayo lalizama ukwandisa imenyu yalo, laphulukana nesona sixhobo salo sixabisekileyo: ukonga ixesha. Ukunciphisa le ngxaki, sebenza kunye neevenkile zakho zokutya okukhawulezayo. Bancede babhale umxholo wabo wokutyela, balahle izinto ezithile kwimenyu kunye nokongeza ezinye.

-Khumbula ukuba umbono wokugqibela kunye nowokuqala wendawo usoloko ubaluleke kakhulu. Okuyinyani ngokulungisa umhlaba kukwayinyaniso “ngokulungisa idolophu” kunye “nokulungisa iindawo zokutyela.” Iindidi zokutya okunikezelwa kubatyeleli abangenayo nabahambayo kunceda ukuseta lonke uhambo lwengqondo. Ezi ke ziziseko ezimele ukuba zifumane eyona nto iphambili kushishino lokhenketho nokhenketho.
