Review

'For young people wishing to obtain a clear and concise overview and introduction to all aspects of Food and Beverage in the Hospitality Industry, this chapter is just the ticket'.
Michael Gottlieb (President of the Restraunteurs Association of Great Britain) commenting on the chapter: 'Food and beverage issues'

"I commend this book to you as a really good read"
David M C Michels, Chief Executive, Hilton International
"This book.. will add significantly to the body of knowledge available to students and practitioners alike"
David Wood, Chief Executive, Hotel and Catering International Management Association (HCIMA)

This is a text book which covers a long neglected sector of the hospitality curriculum. It is particularly opposite for practitioners involved in the development process or for students who, in their management careers, will be dealing with refurbishment and redevelopment on a regular basis. The aim of the book is to act as a guide for students and professionals on how to manage hospitality facilities to their best effect. This structure works well as it ensures a well planned and coherent approach to the subject which is easy to follow. This is a useful text which has been needed for a long time..... In the introdution, it details a set of four objectives to fulfil by the end of the book. It has successfully achieved these objectives.
Vicky Harris, Leeds Metropolitan University (forthcoming review in the International Journal of Hospitality Management)
