Which one is better: Front Office Management or Food Production and why?

Front office yo food production, both the departments are very different from each other and choosing one of them totally depends on the interest of the candidate, that what they like the most. I will discuss both the departments in brief so you can get an idea about both the departments. Front office department is the first touch point of the hotel to the guest, operations which are carried away by front office are, welcoming of the guests, check-in of the guest and the documentation needed at the time of check-in and escorting the guest to the room. On the other hand, food production is the department which deals with the production of the food, doing all the pre-preparation of the food like peeling, cutting of vegetables and meats. If you have a passion to meet and talk to the people from different culture and race and willing to be the face of the hotel then you should choose the front office. If you are passionate about your food and are creative then go for food production. Both the departments are equally important.

Hi, Both the departments are totally different from each other. Food Production department is concerned with preparing food for the guests and you can become a chef, if you join Food production department. Whereas, Front Office is the point where the guest first interacts with the hotel staff i.e. reception. Front office Management is concerned with receiving the guest, taking check ins and check outs, Cashiering, Settlement of guest bills etc. Basically, it is the department where all the things related to the guest's stay in the hotel are done. You should choose the department according to your interest, if you are interested in cooking, you can join food Production and reach the highest position i.e executive chef. Whereas, if you are interested in Administrative/ managerial work, you can join front office and reach Front Office Manager level or even the General Manager.

Every multi-departmental physical business needs to have a front office or reception to receive the visitors. Front Office department is the face and as well as the voice of a business. Regardless of the star rating of the hotel or the hotel type, the hotel has a front office as its most visible department. For a business such as hospitality, the front office department comes with an aspect of elevating customer experience with the business. Front Office department is a common link between the customers and the business. Food production, as the name suggests, is all about preparing food in which raw materials are transformed into ready-made food products for human consumption either in the home or in the food processing industries. It involves art and scientific approach. Food production has various sections and it starts with basic things like cleaning, packing, segregating, sorting, preparing, adding ingredients in correct proportions, presenting, etc. Both the courses are different and there is nothing to compare about. So, I would suggest you decide which interests you the most and get in the same.
