Restaurant Management + MooreCo's Thrive Philosophy

What do restaurant management courses meet the developmental needs of CTE students?

Restaurant management equips students with the technical know-how to run a restaurant efficiently, teaching menu planning, food preparation, inventory management, and customer service. Students also learn teamwork, leadership, and communication skills, which are transferable to virtually all professions. The demanding nature of restaurant management instills strong work ethic, adaptability and resilience, time management, and problem-solving abilities as students navigate the fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

CTE students are exposed to diverse cultures, both in terms of cuisine and the people they work with and serve. This exposure cultivates a deeper understanding of different perspectives, promotes tolerance and acceptance, and develops empathy. Young restaurateurs learn to navigate conflict and build harmonious relationships in the front and back of house, promoting life-long patience and understanding.

How does MooreCo outfit a restaurant management classroom that meets the developmental needs of students?

MooreCo products are adjustable, adaptable, and mobile and can transform a space into a bustling restaurant with ease. Whatever culinary adventure CTE students cook up can be brought to life with versatile tables, chairs, booths, and stools.

 

Mobile Soft Seating and Akt Wire Base Chairs gather around a custom rectangle table to create an intimate dining setup that fosters great conversation! Fully mobile, this arrangement can be reconfigured to accommodate different dining concepts.

Akt Wire Base Chairs are an ideal seating solution for high capacity restaurants. Chairs can be stacked 20 high on the floor or 40 high on an Akt Stacking Chair Cart. Accommodate hungry diners quickly and easily then store chairs when not in use. 

Nothing is more practical than a dining set consisting of a Frequency Table – X-Base with Akt 4-Leg Chairs. A blank canvas for CTE restaurateurs, each piece is on casters and can quickly and easily accommodate any arrangement students imagine

The Akt High Back Loveseat is a focal point for gathering and adds coziness and hominess to a dining space. Designed to be inviting, comfortable, and easy to clean, it is the perfect addition to an ever-evolving restaurant.

Manage the business side of a bustling restaurant with a custom-built reception desk. Add a Seed 5-Star Stool to keep the front-of-house manager comfortable and rested to greet hungry diners.
