Students have the opportunity to learn skills in management, marketing, human resources, accounting, and financial management. They can also become savvy in business communications, beverage management, legal issues, customer service, and global management and operations as they relate to the food industry. Developing managerial and leadership skills are important factors for students graduating in the program. The Restaurant & Catering Management program culminates with a Capstone project. This project consists of a complete business plan to open a restaurant that seats at least 100 guests, and two complete catered event plans.
