Course Outline !!
- Lecturer: Gerald Cloete
Your intention is to become a supervisor, restaurant or hotel manager or one day you want to open your own business in the hospitality industry? Therefore you need to know how a professional team of chefs prepares fancy, trendy, healthy and tasty dishes that are prepared under hygienic conditions, are in line with the establishment’s costings and budgets and ultimately ensure that customers return on a regular basis. This course will give you a detailed insight in food production and how to successfully manage such a department. It is not specifically meant only for the chefs working in the kitchen but also for the people that manage or supervise the Food & Beverage department of a hospitality establishment and gives them a deep understanding on the factors that determine the ultimate success of such operations. This course, as many others in this program give a detailed insight into the different departments of a hospitality establishment such as hotel, lodge, restaurant or bar so that one can get the skills and knowledge to understand how they work, but also how they are connected to each other and which factors do influence a successful operation. Someone that is in charge of a hotel does need to know a little bit from everything and it is therefore essential that he has also worked and trained in the kitchen, as it is one of the most important departments where good money can be made or ultimately where the biggest losses can be accrued. The kitchen is a very sensitive part of the entire hospitality operation and one need to understand it well in order to be able to manage and make a success out of it as it has tremendous impacts on the overall performance of an establishment.
