Great Video for Intro to Foodservice

The National Restaurant Association has put together a great video that, as the website indicates, "is a tribute to what restaurants do for our country -- their impact on their employees, on careers, on communities and on the nation's economy." It is a great video to use in an introduction to hospitality or foodservice class for freshman students, or prospective students (and their tuition paying parents) to truly appreciate the size and scope of the foodservice industry. It is well done and only lasts 6 minutes.

Used in class, it could be a great discussion starter to see how their perception of the industry matches up with the facts and figures in the video. Check it out at: http://www.restaurant.org/aboutus/video/index.cfm
