Diploma in Food and Beverage Service
About Course
The hospitality industry is based on the principle of service, and indeed, the most reputed names in the industry only got there because of their militant adherence to offering the best service possible to their customer every time. When it comes to service in the industry, serving food and refreshments to a customer is perhaps the most important and yet most underrated aspect of service too.
While the service staff of a hospitality establishment may not seem to amount to much in the eyes of a casual onlooker, seasoned veterans in the industry surely do recognise their value. These are the people who interact most with the customers, and usually even first, and their professionalism sets the stage for how accommodating the customer is to spending more time in the establishment. For these reasons, DSHM Jaipur offers a Diploma in Food and Beverage Service course that can prepare anyone for a career in hospitality, especially in the FnB service departments.
