A study app for the Japan Restaurant Service Skill Test Grade 2 (レストランサービス技能検定2級) written examination. This is a national trade skill test under the Human Resources Development Promotion Act, and Grade 2 certifies the skills and knowledge expected of an intermediate-level practitioner. All 500 practice questions come with a clear explanation.
■ Subjects Covered (500 questions)
• Food hygiene and public health (50) — Food Sanitation Act, food poisoning prevention, HACCP, hygiene management
• Western cuisine ingredients and cooking (100) — grading and characteristics of ingredients, culinary terms, cooking methods, menu composition
• Beverages and wine (65) — wine regions and classifications, beer, spirits, liqueurs, coffee and tea
• Banquets and service styles (60) — types and formality of banquets, service styles and their history, room layouts
• Restaurant service (150) — hospitality manners, table service, materials and uses of tableware and equipment, guest care
• Food culture (30) — the evolution of Western cuisine, food cultures around the world, dining etiquette
• Facility management, complaint handling, regulations and safety (45) — facility and equipment management, complaint handling, Food Sanitation Act, Building Standards Act, Fire Service Act, Industrial Safety and Health Act
Grade 2 covers the same subjects as Grade 3 but at a higher level. Ingredients and cooking, beverages, banquets, service styles, food culture, facility management and complaint handling move from "outline knowledge" to "general knowledge", and restaurant service moves from "general knowledge" to "detailed knowledge". The questions in this app are written to that level.
The official written exam consists of 100 true/false questions in 120 minutes, scored by subtracting wrong answers from correct ones, with 60 points required to pass. To make studying more effective, this app reformats the same topics into four-option multiple choice. The practical exam (a live demonstration of service manners, table service and gueridon service, which at Grade 2 also covers reading English menus and English conversation in guest care) cannot be expressed as multiple choice, so this app covers the written exam only.
