HPM231: Managing Restaurant Businesses http://www.glos.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/pages/mapsdescriptors.aspx?modulecode=hpm231
This module explores the operational management, unit design and planning and the factors that influence these. It also identifies the contemporary food and social trends that influence the meal experience and the customer service encounter.
This module uses theoretical perspectives to examine the range of products and service expectations of customers. This will be achieved through the study of legislative, social, political and economic influences on what and why we eat. This includes an investigation of the influence of cultural differences on food provision and consumption. The module further investigates the importance of managing customer service and resource productivity in the context of a wide range of types of restaurant/service and their effects of unit design and service provision.
