Great Resources for Foodservice Educators and Students

Yesterday I started to dedicate Monday's to websites of interest to educators and asked readers to share those they liked so I could post for others.  Today I got an e-mail with the message, "You asked for websites of interest, and your readers may be interested in the hospitality training resource blog I have been running since 2005 at http://www.profitablehospitality.com/public/department30.cfm"

The tip came from Ken Burgin at Profitable Hospitality, that does Management Systems & Profit Strategies for Hotels, Clubs & Restaurants in Sydney Australia.  When I clicked on the link posted above here is the description that I found:

The latest training tips and methods for hotel, restaurant, cafe, culinary, club, bar & waiter trainers and educators.  These pages are designed to inspire you and your students: if learning is enjoyable, retention is always improved. Do a great job and advance your career...

Links to useful training sites, culinary resources, food & beverage information, chef training, waiter training and online training. Plus Powerpoint and presentation resources, training in computer and numeracy skills, customer service training and information to help you use blogs, online groups and podcasting as training tools.

I went to the site to check it out and it is jam packed with resources for educators and students, including the detailed video I watched on making espresso and the Baconcyclopedia.  Other areas of the site could prove valuable to students working on their business feasibility or restaurant operations class proects.

If wanting to learn more about the groups services you may reach Ken at kburgin@profitablehospitality.com
or check out their home page at http://www.profitablehospitality.com/

G'day Mates!

Thanks for the speedy post - I'm usually based in Sydney but right now with my brother in very hot Phoenix!

Cheers - Ken
