With more Indians dining out, food and beverage at hotels is becoming increasingly popular…
Bukhara at ITC Maurya, Indian Accent at The Lodhi, The Raintree at Vivanta by Taj… many top hotels in India are known for their fine dining options. Ullas Arora, Food and Beverage Manager at Crowne Plaza Mayur Vihar, a 5-Star hotel, elaborates, “After rooms, food and beverage is usually the second highest revenue generator for hotels. In some hotels, it also surpasses rooms.”
“Apart from bars and restaurants, it includes looking after food and beverage orders for rooms and outdoor catering at events,” he adds.
Not just culinary
With the growing popularity of cooking competitions like Master Chef, the emergence of cooking channels like FoodFood on television and the fame of chefs like Sanjeev Kapoor and Vikas Khanna donning an apron and chef’s hat has become all the rage.
However, food and beverage is not just about culinary or food and beverage production. It also includes food and beverage service and kitchen stewarding. A Food and Beverage Manager is responsible for managing the operations of Food and Beverage outlets at a hotel to deliver an excellent dining experience while training staffand working within a budget.
