Their performance during the practical session is observed and rated by judges from leading post-secondary colleges and universities, local chefs and restaurateurs.
Teams Participating in the Hospitality Knowledge Bowl demonstrate their knowledge of the restaurant and food service industry by a competing in a question and answer "Jeopardy" style event.
In the Management Case Study, students are tested on their communication skills and their ability to apply their knowledge of the restaurant and foodservice industry to practical situations.
