From the Paper
"Business managers, such as restaurant owners or food supply stores, have many unique challenges to meet. The food and beverage industry from their aspect can be best described as a monopolistic market structure in which many firms produce similar goods but each firm maintains some independent control of its own price. The barriers to entry in this type of industry are fairly low and new competitors can easily enter the market. This industry is very competitive, as members not only compete in pricing, but also in product taste, appearance, reputation, quality, enjoyment, and any other factors."

From the Paper
"Control within the food and beverage industry will always remain an important topic, and a review of the literature indicates that there are several steps that consumers and business owners can take to maintain customer satisfaction and market control. Control in this industry represents the steps that an organization takes to ensure that its marketing plans are successful.

Abstract
The food and beverage area is quite enormous and encompasses everything from restaurants to beverage manufacturers (Mealey, para.1). In terms of things like hours, pay and "perks," things appear to vary widely depending upon the company and depending upon the specific sub-section of the industry within which one is employed. Be that as it may, those who are looking at regular hours (which is not something commonly associated with owning your own business) will find that factory work in the industry is the most predictable in this regard - though it, too, can be subject to seasonal peaks (Government of New Zealand, sec.3). In any case, pay will likely vary as well - especially depending upon which company one chooses to work for and whether or not one offers a specialized skill (such as being a chef) or simply seeking employment as a waiter; perks, for their part, will seemingly be contingent upon whether or not someone enters as an entry-level worker or secures a managerial position that furnishes such things as an expense account. Not to be passed over lightly, advancement within the food and beverage sector can be swift if one is prepared to take courses in management - and is prepared to secure the appropriate national certifications for various types of work (Caribbean Food Emporium, para.9). As a last point, the one organization of which any worker would want to be a part is Coca-Cola: it has longevity, a consistent history of business success, corporate opportunities all over the world, and sufficient stability to provide workers with steady wages and predictable benefits.

Abstract
In this article, the writer assesses if the new Food and Beverage curriculum, which is scheduled to be implemented at a mid-western flagship university's hospitality program, will appropriately meet the needs of the industry for which it is preparing graduates. The writer provides insight on the learning objectives of the Food and Beverage Curriculum regarding their level of importance as identified employability skills. The study is based on a new curriculum rolling out for the Food and Beverage (F&B) Curriculum in the subject university's bachelor of science degree program. The writer discusses that the program is staged to split into multi-track system whereby F&B is separated from Rooms/Lodging and Event/Meeting Planning in the coming semesters. Prior to the program roll out, it was deemed important to check the validity of the learning objectives or terminal objectives of the new program.

From the Paper
"Making the transition from higher education to the workforce can be difficult. One reason for this difficulty is due to the fact that graduates are not prepared to be accountable for what industry demands. They assume the workplace will resemble the same structure experienced at higher education institutions, and when it does not, they often become dissatisfied with their jobs. A bigger reason for graduates not making a smooth transition into the workplace is because they are not equipped with the proper employability skills needed for employment success. Research has indicated a plethora of skills are needed in many industries in general, including the hospitality industry in particular. In this regard, Jayawardena and Nettleford emphasize that ..."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Organization. In virtually every type of organization, responsibility and accountability are inextricably related. According to Loren E. Newland (1997), "This concept is no less true in the lodging industry. For example, the food and beverage manager is responsible for ensuring that quality meals are served to guests. If guests are satisfied, the food and beverage manager receives the credit. If the guests express dissatisfaction with their dining experience, the same manager is subject to criticism" (45)."

Abstract
This paper reviews factors, such as equipment, location, product, atmosphere, management, administration, and customer service, which are important to the success of a food and beverage service business. It also reviews literature that delves into how competent human resources and hands-on management can bring and keep high-caliber employees on board successfully.

From the Paper
"In these times of slow economic growth, partly resulting from threats of terror, and also because of an apparent dearth of fresh ideas for job-stimulation emerging from national leadership (executive and legislative branches), it would seem that employers have a bumper crop of unemployed people to select from - people with college degrees who have been laid off, ?downsized,? or otherwise squeezed out of jobs they were trained for. Many of these people, studies show, are extremely trainable and willing to adapt to a new job culture. Hence, it should be a "buyer's market" in terms of available talent for employers to evaluate / hire."

The Beverage Industry: Coke vs. Pepsi

Industry Overview
Just before the turn of the century, prospective soft drinks were being formulated by southern pharmacists, with an eye towards relieving indigestion (Hoover's, 1995). From the first decade of the twentieth century until the 1960s, the competition in the beverage industry was primarily between equals; Coca Cola fought it out with Pepsi Cola for market share, and juice or coffee companies competed with each other.
In the 1960s, the competitive edge in the beverage industry went to Coca Cola, with its purchase of Minute Maid in 1960, the introduction of Sprite in 1961, and the introduction of Tab in 1963 (Hoover's, 1995)."
