This is a significant contrast to other texts which are geared to a specific segment of catering such as on-premise, off-premise, or corporate dining. The graduate who decides to enter into catering will be charged with providing the -restaurant- experience to their clients and optimizing profits for their employer. Catering will assist them in achieving these goals.
