The compulsory course of hotel management mainly has the following four directions.
1. catering operation: the research of catering operation occupies a very large proportion in hotel management specialty. Students majoring in liquor management will learn food-related science, food selection, how to correctly store food, how to correctly handle all kinds of food and other theoretical knowledge, which is very applicable not only in the hotel catering industry, but also in daily life.
2. Kitchen and Hotel: In universities that pay attention to practical experience, there is a large proportion of practical teaching of cooking and service, and there will be a kitchen & in the catering class, each student must personally play the role of waiter and chef, and learn the different roles of serving guests, such as the host who greets guests at the door, the staff of the beverage department, the delivery staff and the waiter. In the kitchen, everyone should also learn how to cook cold dishes, desserts, stir-fry and barbecue, and understand the operation of the kitchen.
Bartender course: This is an interesting course. Students need to know the history of wine, learn to make cocktails by themselves, taste different kinds of wine and learn to make cocktails by themselves. In order to unify, they need to get a liquor brand smart that can sell wine in regular restaurants.
Serve.
3. Accommodation operation: To understand the operation of the hotel industry, room service, resorts, financial control, rooms, sales, marketing and hotel architectural planning are also compulsory. Here, you also need to know some business-related knowledge and the operating rules of the hotel industry.
4. Accounting: Many students refuse to listen to accounting, but the accounting knowledge of wine management major is relatively basic. Students only need to learn how to calculate the operating costs and profits of hotel restaurants, and they can use them in their work quickly, which is quite practical.
Two, the hotel management employment development direction, generally speaking, there are two:
1 focuses on theoretical learning and seldom pays attention to practical operation. This paper mainly studies the future development of the hotel industry, the operation mode and financial management of the catering industry, etc. The future development direction of people who study this direction can be to study hotel science or directly become the top managers of hotels, especially the important people who make strategic development direction.
2. The other direction is to pay attention to the learning of operation, operation and practice. In addition to learning the theoretical content, I will also learn the specific operation methods of various departments, including how to get the trays in restaurants and how to correctly serve Chinese and western food, which is what the questioner calls "handyman".
How to choose the development direction? As far as employment is concerned, the practice-oriented learning direction is recommended, because after working in the hotel, it can be found that the top management in the hotel basically starts to work from the grass-roots departments, and few people specialize in hotel operation or simply study theory, because the hotel industry is a highly operational industry, and theory alone is far from enough. Understanding the workflow and standards of various departments and positions is king. So,
3. Suggestions for people who want to engage in hotel management:
1, in the hotel industry, experience is more important than education, and learning ability is more important than experience.
2. Many hotel people with low academic qualifications have climbed to the top of the hotel by virtue of their accumulated experience.
Any enterprise only pays for your work performance, not your education.
4. Choose the hotel industry, exercise yourself from skill learning, and keep a cool mind.
5. Don't try to be a manager directly without grassroots experience. Because you don't really touch an industry from the bottom, you never know how deep the water is in this industry, and you will never guess all kinds of tricks in this industry.
Four, hotel management faces two major challenges.
1、
Most jobs are basic service jobs, not high-tech, nor high-tech. What is needed is hands-on and down-to-earth practical operation. At present, most of the practitioners are low-educated people, and even most of them are migrant workers. Compared with other industries, the income, social status and personal sense of accomplishment of grass-roots service personnel are quite low, so they must be able to tolerate this kind of work with low salary, low creativity, low added value and low social status in the early stage.
2. Management positions need some practical experience to be competent, and the level of fresh graduates is simply not enough to meet the management needs of departments and companies. So when you first join the company, you must start slowly from the grassroots!
In a word, the major of hotel management is still very promising. The key is whether you can adjust your mentality, have a good emotional intelligence, be ambitious and don't want to just be at the bottom!
