What
will this program do for me?
The Department of Hotel & Restaurant Operation at City College of San
Francisco will provide you with both academic and hands-on training
in many phases of the hospitality industry, including culinary arts,
food service, restaurant operations, hotel operations and many more.
What
kind of job can I get once I complete the program?
The jobs for which you will be qualified for upon graduation will greatly
depend upon both the amount and level of your work experience as well
as the education and training you receive in this program. For graduates
with little work experience, examples of available positions would be
entry-level cooks (pantry or prep), food servers, hotel desk clerks
and reservationists. For those with greater experience, positions include
line or pastry cooks, restaurant assistant managers and managers. Hotel
positions include entry-level management jobs such as front desk, room
service or reservations supervisor and assistant managers.
How
much can I earn in this career?
Entry-level cooks' pay range between $7 and $14 per hour. Assistant
managers in restaurants and hotels generally begin around $20,000 to
$28,000 per year. Other than in ownership or in corporate positions,
the highest paid hospitality position is usually that of Hotel General
Manager, many of whom earn in excess of $100,000 per year. A very wide
range of earnings is available between these extremes. For current information
regarding salary and job prospects, please refer to the Occupational
Outlook Handbook.
How
long will the program take?
This is a 60-unit Associate Degree Program. The program takes a minimum
of four semesters to complete, including the general education requirements.

workload each semester.
