Some positions are in small independent operations, while others are with large multinational chains and corporations.<\/p>\n<p>Where do you envision yourself?<\/p>\n<h3>Restaurant &amp; Bar Careers<\/h3>\n<p>When you think about hospitality and restaurant operations management, naturally you might imagine a management position in a restaurant or bar environment. To no surprise, these positions are often considered the \u201cfront lines.\u201d They typically have you working directly with servers, bartenders, and cooks, often doing long-term business planning and managing employees day-to-day. These managers often interface with customers on a day-to-day basis too.<\/p>\n<p>Some hospitality and restaurant operations management careers in this market include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Restaurant or restaurant chain manager<\/li>\n<li>Bar or nightclub owner\/manager<\/li>\n<li>Food truck owner\/operator<\/li>\n<li>Catering company owner\/manager<\/li>\n<li>Cafe\/coffee shop owner\/manager<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Restaurant-manager-and-waitress-holding-a-tray-smile-for-a-photo-while-standing-in-a-restaurant-768.jpeg\" alt=\"Restaurant manager and waitress holding a tray smile for a photo while standing in a restaurant\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Restaurant-manager-and-waitress-holding-a-tray-smile-for-a-photo-while-standing-in-a-restaurant-768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Restaurant-manager-and-waitress-holding-a-tray-smile-for-a-photo-while-standing-in-a-restaurant-768-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\n<h3>Large Scale Food Operation Careers<\/h3>\n<p>Managing a restaurant that seats 100 people is very different from managing a food operation for a 1,000-room hotel or resort!<\/p>\n<p>These businesses have large staffing requirements to meet the needs of thousands of customers at a time. Roles may be customer-facing, like managing the dining room on a cruise ship or running an event venue. On the flipside, they could also be behind-the-scenes. For example, as a manager with an airline\u2019s food program, you might work with suppliers, cooks, and the airline, but not directly with airline customers.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these careers include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hotel or resort manager<\/li>\n<li>Front of house manager<\/li>\n<li>Banquet hall or event venue manager<\/li>\n<li>Airline food services manager<\/li>\n<li>Cruise line manager<\/li>\n<li>Casino manager<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/career\/\">Administration and management<\/a> at food operations that service schools, workplaces, nursing homes, and hospitals, like Aramark and Sodexo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23827\" src=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Hotel-manager-standing-next-to-a-desk-in-the-lobby-768.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel manager standing next to a desk in the lobby \" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Hotel-manager-standing-next-to-a-desk-in-the-lobby-768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Hotel-manager-standing-next-to-a-desk-in-the-lobby-768-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\n<h3>Support &amp; Education Careers<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s a host of career opportunities in the food and service industries that provide added support, guidance, and resources to staff and managers. These positions are not customer-facing. Instead, they help restaurants and their employees navigate complicated financial rules or increase their industry knowledge to better serve the end customer.<\/p>\n<p>These careers include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Human resources for hospitality businesses<\/li>\n<li>Facilities and technology operations management<\/li>\n<li>Accounting or bookkeeping<\/li>\n<li>Restaurant operations or management training<\/li>\n<li>Education or tutoring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"quote\">\n<blockquote><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22549 size-full alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Chef-Maria-Davenport.jpg\" alt=\"Chef Maria Davenport\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Chef-Maria-Davenport.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Chef-Maria-Davenport-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\u201cEscoffier Hospitality &amp; Restaurant Operations Management graduates can choose from a variety of hospitality establishments. They can work for restaurants, bars, hotels, catering companies, etc. There are a wide range of options for our students.\u201d*<br \/>\n<strong>Vicki Berger, Escoffier Chef Instructor, Hospitality &amp; Restaurant Operations Management<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Distribution Careers<\/h3>\n<p>Restaurants and other food operations work with a network of distributors and suppliers to get everything they need. These business-to-business (B2B) companies may require extensive product knowledge in their niche to follow certain legal restrictions, like beer or wine. They may also provide wholesale food and beverage products to retailers like liquor stores or grocery stores.<\/p>\n<p>For some positions, further training may be helpful, like a sommelier certification.<\/p>\n<p>Some possible careers in distribution:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Food and beverage distributors, like Sysco and U.S. Foods<\/li>\n<li>Beverage distribution management, like Molson Coors Beverage Company or Republic National Distributing<\/li>\n<li>Beverage retailers, like Total Wine<\/li>\n<li>Grocery or wholesale club management, like Sam\u2019s or Costco<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Get Started in Hospitality Management<\/h2>\n<p>As you can see, there\u2019s a huge variety of hospitality and restaurant operations management careers! But how can you break into such a broad industry?<\/p>\n<p>Education and experience are both valid tracks to success in hospitality management. But education may help future managers get ahead of their competition. Successful hospitality and restaurant managers may need to understand financial statements and purchasing, human resources, target customer psychology, and business and professional communications. While many of these skills can be discovered on the job, a dedicated educational curriculum may shape entry-level managers into more effective, well-rounded leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, with a hands-on industry externship like the one required to graduate from Escoffier, you can also gain hands-on experience while getting your degree.<\/p>\n<div class=\"quote\">\n<blockquote><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22549 size-full alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Chef-Maria-Davenport.jpg\" alt=\"Chef Maria Davenport\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Chef-Maria-Davenport.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Chef-Maria-Davenport-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\u201cA strong educational background can help someone with limited experience become a valued contributor to their employer.

Some courses cover general business topics, like Business and Professional Communications, Introduction to Psychology in the Workplace, and Leadership and Development\u2014although they\u2019re generally focused on the hospitality industry.<\/p>\n<p>Other coursework is more specialized to cover the breadth of several niches. Catering and Event Operations can help students understand the organization and planning necessary to tailor an event to meet a client\u2019s needs. Menu Design and Management explores food &amp; beverage menus and design, including price analysis and layout. Students can also learn to view the menu as an effective communication and financial tool. In Culinary Foundations, students may study some of the kitchen basics, like sanitation and hygiene, seasoning, and fundamental knife skills. While this program is not focused on cooking, these skills can help students evolve into effective, business-minded managers of kitchen staff.<\/p>\n<p>After the coursework, students complete a hands-on industry externship. Students must secure their own externships at an approved hospitality and restaurant business, but Escoffier\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/career\/\">Career Services<\/a> department can help with resume writing, interview prep, and in some cases may be able to introduce students to <a href=\"https:\/\/escoffierglobal.com\/econnect\/\">specific employers<\/a>, like Sodexo or Omni Hotels &amp; Resorts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"quote\">\n<blockquote><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-15394 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Mary_ann_of_Sodexo-1.png\" alt=\"Mary Ann Mathieu, Senior Recruiter, Sodexo\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>\u201cWhat I think makes Escoffier the best culinary school for us to recruit from is the fact that their graduates are predictable.
