What is a food and beverage manager?

As an F&B Manager, you would plan types and quantities of food and drinks needed during a particular timeframe, make sure the goods are ordered, delivered, and paid for, that the items are correctly used, and that the hotel or restaurant makes a profit from its food and beverage services.
What will you study?
You’ll study industry-specific subjects like bar and beverage management, food production, culinary terminology, purchasing management, food safety, sales and marketing, hotel and restaurant accounting, leadership management, and planning and control for food and beverage operations.

The practical component gives you highly valuable experience before you head out into the working world.
