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

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..

 - To list by size the major components of the food service industry and describe the economic impact that the food service industry has on the economy.​

 - Understand the changes that have shaped the restaurant business in recent years, such as new delivery approaches.​

Course Curriculum

IFSM Cover M 1

This module first presents an overview of the restaurant business. It then focuses on two basic markets served by restaurants: the dining market and the eating market. Under dining, we are primarily concerned with the “casualization” of fine dining and the growth of the casual and upscale casual food service segments.​ A still-growing part of the eating market is in off-premise operations, such as home meal replacement (HMR). We also look at the contemporary popular-priced restaurants that are the largest segments of the existing restaurant industry: quick-service and midscale operations, such as family restaurants.​ This discussion of the major components of the restaurant industry closes with a look at restaurants in retail settings such as malls.​

IFSM Cover M 5

This section discusses the important and significant segments of the food service industry that make up the on-site segment. ​ Some of the characteristics of this component of the hospitality industry are unique. ​ Yet the increasing emphasis on marketing and use of brand names in the on-site sector would suggest that the lines between on-site food service and so-called commercial segments are becoming increasingly blurred. The on-site segment (including both contracted and self-operated units) offers excellent compensation, good opportunities for advancement, and often more stable working hours than traditional restaurants. ​ Because many companies operate in both the commercial hospitality industry and the on-site sector, it is an area that you may meet even if your plans now are to work in hotels or restaurants. It is, in short, an area of the industry that deserves careful examination and more attention than it traditionally receives.​

Although details differ, the tangible side of the hospitality industry, within segments, is surprisingly similar. Quick-service operations resemble one another within food categories, one budget motel offers pretty much the same as another, and so forth. Whether it’s the Big Mac versus the Whopper or Hampton Inns versus Fairfield Inns, company offerings look a lot alike. Increasingly, companies are realizing that service is the best way to achieve differentiation and is what can give an operation a competitive edge. This chapter examines service as a process, considers the work of rendering service as a personal experience, and, finally, considers how companies manage service.​
