Restaurant Staff
The à la Carte Restaurant was located on B Deck just below the fourth funnel. It was a private concession managed by A.P. Luigi Gatti, an Italian businessman who owned two other restaurants in London, as well as the à la Carte Restaurant on the Olympic. The restaurant was open from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm and was open only to First Class passengers. The staff were not paid by the White Star Line, but by Mr. Gatti himself, who was on the Titanic for its maiden voyage. The restaurant was self-sufficient with its own cooks, waiters, clean up crew and other staff. Most of the employees were Italian or French nationals. Of the entire staff of 66 people, only one male clerk and two female cashiers survived. Several Titanic survivors indicated that the restaurant employees were locked up in their quarters by the stewards to prevent them from rushing the lifeboats. It has never been confirmed whether this was true or not.

Famous quotes containing the words restaurant and/or staff:
“A restaurant is a fantasy—a kind of living fantasy in which diners are the most important members of the cast.”
—Warner Leroy, U.S. restaurateur, founder of Maxwell’s Plum restaurant, New York City. New York Times (July 9, 1976)
“We achieve “active” mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
