Hospitality Industry And Catering

Visão Geral

Every plate of jollof served at an owambe in Lagos, every tray of food wheeled round a ward in a teaching hospital, and every buffet laid out in an Abuja hotel belongs to one great enterprise: the hospitality industry. Catering, the business of preparing and serving food and drink to people away from their own homes, sits right at its heart. Learn how the two fit together and you have the map for everything else in this subject.

This lesson defines catering and the wider hospitality industry, then opens up the single most examined idea in the topic: the split between welfare catering, provided as a service to people who need it, and commercial catering, provided to make a profit. You will see how large the trade has grown in Nigeria, why events culture keeps it busy, and the many careers that a well trained caterer can build inside it.

Objetivos

  1. Define catering and the hospitality industry
  2. Explain the components of catering, both welfare and commercial
  3. Distinguish catering from the wider hospitality industry
  4. Describe the scope and importance of catering to the Nigerian economy
  5. Outline the career opportunities available in catering and hospitality

Nota de Aula

Ask ten Nigerians what a caterer does and most will picture a woman in a bright gele dishing rice at a wedding. That picture is true, but it is a keyhole view of a vast trade. The same skill that feeds three hundred guests at an owambe feeds pupils in a boarding school in Ilorin, patients in a hospital in Enugu, soldiers in a barracks in Kaduna, and oil workers on a rig off Port Harcourt. All of that is catering, and catering is one half of the hospitality industry. Before you can cook, cost a menu or run a kitchen, you have to see the whole field and know where your work sits in it. That is what this first lesson gives you.
