From overseeing food quality, to dealing with customers, to making staffing decisions, a restaurant entrepreneur handles hundreds of varied yet critically important tasks every day. The ability to make decisions quickly often determines their ultimate success or failure. Curriculum focuses on financial management and understanding the various market segments and demands that affect a restaurant’s profit margins. Students learn to work with proven marketing strategies, how to maximize value for owners and investors, and how to use analytical techniques to make informed business decisions.
During the second quarter of the program, students combine all the critical skills they have acquired in the program to the development of a complete business plan for a minimum 100-seat restaurant. Successful graduates demonstrate practical, analytical, and technical abilities to potential employers.
