Question

Mehrdad Mir Hosseini

is there any restaurant or cafe management courses you recommend ,I can start learning ,It would really make my appetite for learning fulfilled?

Answer

You know, we at present do not offer a restaurant management course, I'm aware of some generally speaking through, you know community colleges around the around the US, you know that might offer a short course or a standalone class or two that you might in check out. I don't know any specific programs, you know that that I can recommend, however, but I'm aware that they're out there some are online options and some are on ground options. So be sure to, you know understand what those courses entail. Okay. Thank you.
