The Management of Foodservice Operations is an updated and largely revised edition of The Management of Catering Operations, an established and widely recommended textbook for HND, HCIMA, Degree and NVQ 3 and CGLI students. The material has been substantially revised and expanded, with expert contributors, and is now divided into two sections. Part 1 focuses on the planning and design of systems, combining research and concept development with the basics of design and layout, looking at kitchens, restaurants and menus. It also addressed the issue of quality systems with up-to-date analysis of BS 5750. Part 2 brings a management perspective to the issues of service, quality, protecting assets and improving profitability. Throughout, operational examples are given and reinforced to aid full understanding and to assist the student in acquiring the real skills of management needed in the hospitality industry. This text is intended for students in the later stages of their management qualification. It therefore assumes an understanding of the technical aspects of foodservice operations relating to food production and service, as well as a basic knowledge about different sectors of the industry: marketing, human resource management and accounting.
