Most products are manufactured at one location, sold at a second place, and consumed or used at still a third location-not so with the foodservice industry. Today's hotels, restaurants, and institutional food operations accommodate the entire process in a single location. In addition, foodservice professionals face the challenge of serving a perishable product to an ever-changing multitude of people. That is what makes this industry so complex, and the need for highly specialized equipment and dedicated, hardworking people so essential. Design and Layout of Foodservice Facilities offers owners, managers, and other decision makers in foodservice operations an extensive reference manual for the entire foodservice process - from the development of a new food idea or concept, through the processes of planning, financing, design, and construction, to the final inspection that occurs just prior to the opening of the establishment. Packed with valuable drawings, photographs, and charts, this essential foodservice guide takes you through decision-making processes concerning menu development, marketing, management, money, and methods of execution. You will find the advice you need to make your establishment a success and keep it successful. Renowned foodservice professional John C.
