restaurants-in-las-vegas

The goal of EVS Hotel-Pro professional development training is to develop industry leaders who will manage from a greater place of understanding of the world and the various people and cultures within it. Participants will learn how to inspire and motivate people of various backgrounds to achieve common business goals.

Service quality means that we are only as good as the last experience we delivered...

EVS Hotel-Pro's Diploma in Quality Food and Beverage Operations addresses topics such as: technology, leadership, cultural diversity in the workplace, and interpersonal skills, all of which are necessary competencies in today's global workforce. The growing range of foodservice operations has necessitated developments in the approaches to food and beverage service. The traditional view of food and beverage service was as a delivery process, with the customer being considered a passive recipient of the service. More recently this view has changed significantly – and for the better. The customer is now seen as central to the process and as an active participant within it. Increasing competition has meant that both the quality of the service and the perceived value of the experience by customers are the main differentiators between operations that are seeking to attract similar customers..

You will learn:

 - Successful hospitality leadership in a diverse workforce

 - Maintaining a strong sense of integrity while providing a quality product or service

 - Inspiring and motivating people of various backgrounds and cultures  -

 - Working within a business climate characterized by rapid change and globalization
