This programme prepares graduates trained in Food and Beverage to satisfy the basic needs of the country and possibly the region. Food & Beverage (F&B) Management is a segment of the hospitality industry that focuses on operations in restaurants, hotels, resorts, catering companies, hospitals, hotels, and more. It focuses more on the business side of the food service industry, which includes areas like ordering and inventory, managing budgets, and planning and costing menus. Also included is the Human Resources functions, like hiring, training, managing both front of house and back of house staff and a better understanding of restaurant finances, so they can reduce costs and maximize profits.
