Course description

Expanding on previous food and beverage courses, students will examine hotel sales and catering department operations. Students will review the roles performed by the sales and catering team with a focus on the activities and responsibilities of the sales director and catering manager. Students will explore the inter-departmental activities evolving from room and catering event sales and how they inter-relate with the daily operations of the other hotel departments: front desk, reservations, housekeeping, bars, restaurants and the banquet department. Selling techniques will be reviewed.
