Managing Beverage Operations (AHLEI)

The new edition of this textbook (formerly titled Managing Beverage Service) focuses on the successful elements of a beverage operation, based on research to identify those that are thriving. Discussions of leadership and supervision focus on the management and leadership practices specific to a beverage operation, including emotional intelligence and the importance of relationships, communication, recruitment and training, and motivation and performance reviews.
