Course Description

Stage 2 Food Design (Industry and Entrepreneurial Solutions) is a new and innovative course to replace Stage 2 Food and Hospitality. Students will be designing a café or restaurant that is entrepreneurial in thinking and meets industry standards. Students will design the type of café or restaurant they focus on as it will be the foundation for their folio of work over the length of the course.

Students will develop and demonstrate skills in designing and producing menu items for their café or restaurant based around their design brief. The course allows students to have a choice in the food they produce and by the end of the course they will have designed and served a range of starters, main courses and desserts. Students will demonstrate their culinary skills through various skills tasks and document their learning and design thinking in their folio of work.
