Training Restaurants:
A survey conducted among people visiting bars and restaurants had only one question: “would you like your barman to use an automatic peg-measure and pour the exact quantity to give you the right value for money? Surprisingly, 98% opted for a manual pouring! This definitely goes to show that consumers are equally, if not more, interested in being ‘served’ as they are looking for the right quantity and quality of food. The Food & Beverage Service Department trains the students in the technique and art of serving and selling food and beverage to residential and non-residential guests . Waiting skills, Supervisory skills and Managerial skills are taught in 1st, 2nd and 3rd year respectively.
