Life Beyond the Line: A Front-of-the-House Companion for Culinarians - 606

$4.06

Suitable for all Culinary Arts programs, this unique resource guide fully prepares future chefs by helping them build skills in both high quality food production and "front-of-house" training - i.e., customer satisfaction and retention - now recognized as the principal driving force behind the modern chef. Emphasizing the necessity of training today's chef to be a "customer-driven" professional, the book establishes the importance of working together for success, discusses issues of sanitation and safety, and offers guest relations and social skill techniques. It examines the fundamentals of table service, and educates readers on the basics of wine and wine-making. All liquors, including beer, ale and stout, are covered, and the essentials of mixology are shared. It describes the legal issues surrounding alcohol, and presents a case study on the "happy hour" drinker. For those in hospitality careers.
