    Restaurant Management Course List

    Looking at a Restaurant Management School Course List

    If you’re interested in entering the culinary field at the managerial level, you may want to consider a degree or program in restaurant management. This educational concentration, which is growing in popularity among hotels, restaurateurs, and catering companies, allows you to combine business training with culinary skills to make a real impact behind the scenes.

    Although each school is necessarily different, much of the coursework you’ll encounter is the similar. Before selecting a restaurant management program for yourself, ask to see the school’s list of courses to ensure that you are getting the education you need to succeed in the field.

    General Business Courses

    General business courses are applicable at restaurants, hotels, and any other type of managerial setting. These courses will allow you to branch away from the culinary field if you choose to at a later date:

    Career Development

    Managerial Accounting

    Global Management

    Organizational Development

    Human Resource Management

    Business Planning and Marketing

    Public Relations

    Procedures and Manuals

    Information Management Systems

    Cost Control

    Sustainable Purchasing

    Culinary-Based Courses

    You aren’t likely to encounter a heavy focus on cooking techniques and skills, but that doesn’t mean you can skip this side of the restaurant industry altogether. You can expect to learn:

    Cooking and Food Preparation

    History of Cuisine

    Food Display and Buffet Techniques

    Menu Creation

    Food and Beverage Operations

    Restaurant Growth and Development Courses

    Part of being a successful restaurateur is being able to build a business from the ground up. You may take courses in:

    Facilities Design

    Restaurant Concepts and Creation

    Restaurant Real Estate

    Kitchen Design and Equipment

    Hospitality Industry Courses

    Other basic management courses that focus specifically on restaurants and the hospitality industry include:

    Safety and Sanitation

    Menu Management

    Legal Issues and Ethics in Hospitality

    Event Management

    Hospitality Industry Trends

    Tourism Management

    Hotel Operations Management

    Wine and Spirits Management

    Casino Operations

    Although most programs offer training at the Bachelor or Master’s degree level, you may be able to find diploma/certificate programs or build on an existing culinary degree with continuing education courses in restaurant management. Depending on your personal goals and interests, you can spend months or years developing skills in this field.
