The Food & Beverage (F&B) operations performed reasonably well. F&B income<br />

for the full year across the three Guild Houses totalled $6.42 million, compared<br />

to $6.46 million in 2005.<br />

With the implementation of the new Information Management System, all<br />

F&B outlets at the three Guild Houses were equipped with a new Point-of-Sale<br />

(POS) system, reducing waiting time for members and improving overall service<br />

rendered.<br />

KRGH logged $2.95 million in overall F&B income, compared to $3.15 million in<br />

2005.<br />

Areas of improvement included the appointment of an experienced Chef de Cuisine,<br />

James Wang, to manage the western cuisine kitchen and the purchase of new<br />

equipment to enhance backend operations.<br />

A Peranakan Food Heritage promotion was held in November 2006. Helmed by<br />

guest Master Chef Jolly Wee, authentic<br />
