Program description
With courses in wine, mixology, entrepreneurship, and strategic restaurant management at GBC, you will learn about the exciting and diverse Food and Beverage industry. This program's first year will provide you with foundational industry knowledge by learning and working alongside your peers from all sectors in our School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, referred to as a "common first year approach." During your first year, you will learn about hotels, event planning, tourism, and food and beverages through a variety of practical and theoretical courses.
During your second year of study, you will put your theoretical knowledge to use through innovative learning techniques and invaluable practical experience. You will have the option to take over The Chefs' House, our cutting-edge restaurant and learning facility, and manage all aspects of operations, including designing and selling tickets, collaborating with industry partners, performing cost analysis, and designing the food and beverage menu in collaboration with our culinary students.
Through our Restaurant Simulation, you will embark on an educational, virtual adventure in which you will revitalize and transform a failing restaurant into a profitable enterprise by using decision-making, management, and financial planning skills.
