I recently completed the Global Certificate in Food Cost Control for Event Catering (Advanced) course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a valuable learning experience. The course content was comprehensive and well-organized, covering a wide range of topics related to food cost control. I appreciated the emphasis on practical skills, such as menu engineering and inventory management. The course materials were good, but I thought some of the readings could be more concise. One thing that I found particularly useful was the section on food cost control software - it's something that I hadn't considered before, but now I feel more confident in my ability to use technology to streamline my operations. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others, but I think there's room for improvement in terms of clarity and concision.
