BEVERAGE SERVICE AND MIXOLOGY

Beverage service and mixology involve the art and science of preparing, presenting, and serving drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. It covers understanding drink ingredients, proper techniques for mixing cocktails, garnishing, and maintaining service etiquette. Knowledge of flavor profiles, drink pairings, and customer preferences is essential to create a memorable beverage experience while ensuring safety and professionalism in service.

FOOD PRODUCTION AND CULINARY ARTS

Food and beverage service covers different types of drinks, how they are made, and how they are served in restaurants. Beverages are classified as hot, cold, alcoholic, or non-alcoholic depending on their ingredients and preparation. Their characteristics come from what is used to make them, such as fruits, grains, herbs, or dairy. Drinks are produced through methods like brewing, blending, or fermentation.

In restaurants, service styles vary—some offer table service, others allow customers to serve themselves, while some use a mix of both. The service style chosen depends on the restaurant type, customer expectations, staffing, cost, and space layout. Each style has its advantages and limitations in terms of speed, customer interaction, food quality, and overall satisfaction.
