The program provides an opportunity for students to become competent in the identified priorities for the foodservice industry: communication, training, leadership, motivation, management, human resources, technology, accounting, marketing, and customer relations.

They possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills, function as team leaders, and supervise a culturally diverse staff. Computer proficiency in foodservice operations is an integral part of a manager's daily function. Above all, knowledge of the customer and customer relations skills empower the foodservice managers to render better service, and to cater to the demands of knowledgeable consumers and employees. Our curriculum is driven by the industry and changes with its trends. It begins with courses that give students a foundation of basic concepts such as the History and Evolution of Food, Hospitality Technology, Managerial Accounting, Marketing Applications, and the Capstone Business Plan.
