Culinary Operations and Facility Management

Catalog description

This course is designed to enhance the student’s understanding of how a foodservice operation’s concept and menu influence back-of-the-house functions and costs. A task analysis is performed to design a workflow and identify the equipment and smallwares needed to receive and store product, and to produce and serve the menu. Overhead costs including direct operating expenses, furniture, fixtures and equipment (FFE), repairs and maintenance, and facilities layout and design are explored and evaluated to determine costs and the effect on profitability.
