Managerial Accounting for Non-Accountants in Restaurant Operations

This chapter discusses the accounting functions of a foodservice operation. A foodservice manager does not need to know accounting to its fullest extent as he/she would be capable of substituting a financial controller; instead, the manager only needs to have a broad and sound knowledge of the accounting department's activities. Therefore, this chapter will prepare the foodservice manager, mainly with the “managerial accounting branch” and less with the others. Accordingly, the chapter is titled “Managerial Accounting for Non-Accountants.”
