    Culinary Arts Food Service Management year long course

    (10-12th grade) This course is part of the Food Service Pathway and is the  completer course for this pathway.

    Students must pass the introductory culinary arts course prior to taking this course.

    In this course students will expand their study of Culinary Arts and expand food production and sales to faculty through an on-site catering program. Students will learn and apply knowledge through standards and project-based curriculum, both in the lab class setting and in a working food service kitchen. Students will develop culinary skills through nutritional analysis and recipe costing and development. The units are designed to teach students the correct use of food service equipment and food and kitchen safety; with exploration of local, organic and seasonal products. In addition, students will learn about small business management through the operation of a food production and catering business, including production, finance, marketing, and customer service. Students will plan, prepare, and serve snacks for school meetings. Students will be required to serve 10-20 hours per year outside of class time for catering events (faculty meetings and other events).

    Students will be responsible for maintaining SERVSAFE standards in the kitchen. Students will be assigned a weekly score for kitchen sanitation and work ethic. Students will be required to work 1 catering event each semester. Students will have an opportunity join SkillsUSA and be part of culinary competitions.
