A group of fields within the service industry that encompasses food and drinks service, lodging, transportation, event planning, and theme parks is known as the hospitality industry. Restaurants, hotels and bars fall under this industry. The hospitality industry is subdivided into two categories: the commercial sector and the catering services sector. Meals prepared outside the home by companies, institutions and businesses come under the purview of the catering industry. The catering sector differs from the commercial sector in the scope of operations. Both manufacture similar products, but the catering industry does it on an industrial scale. Hospitals, schools, nightclubs and theatres are a few places that the catering services sector caters to. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the umbrella of hospitality and catering and how such concepts have practical applications. It unfolds the innovative aspects of hospitality, which will be crucial for the holistic understanding of the subject matter. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of professionals associated with the hospitality and catering sectors.
