What is the correct sequence for handling beverage service?

• A. Prepare beverages, offer to passengers, accommodate special requests, collect and clear, maintain cleanliness.
• B. Offer to passengers, prepare beverages, collect and clear, accommodate special requests, maintain cleanliness
• C. Prepare beverages, collect and clear, offer to passengers, accommodate special requests, maintain cleanliness
• D. Prepare beverages, offer to passengers, collect and clear, maintain cleanliness, and accommodate special requests

Answer: (A)

Beverage service follows a practical flow: prepare the beverages first, then offer them to passengers, handle any special requests during that interaction, collect and clear the service items, and finish by maintaining cleanliness in the cabin. Preparing drinks in advance ensures they’re ready when you reach passengers. Offering them initiates the service and allows passengers to indicate their choices. Addressing special requests during this step keeps service smooth and responsive. Collecting and clearing comes after service is completed, wrapping up the round. Cleanliness is an ongoing responsibility, but placing it at the end reinforces tidiness after the service and supports a neat cabin for the next task. Other sequences disrupt the natural flow—for example, offering before preparation causes delays, collecting before offering breaks service flow, or interjecting cleanliness in the middle interferes with handling passenger requests.
