To equip the hospitality management and other related skills of its students, CapSU recently hosted Hotel on Wheels, a professional hospitality management program led by the Astoria Culinary and Hospitality Institute based in Pasig City.

CapSU students learn the rudiments of food styling
and Asian cuisine at CapSU Pontevedra
in Bailan, Pontevedra, Capiz.

Some 280 students of Hotel and Restaurant Management, Hospitality Management and Food and Technology Education across five CapSU campuses availed themselves of the two-day training conducted by Astoria under the directorship of Dominador de Asis, Jr.

Hotel and Restaurant Management students came from CapSU Sapian, CapSU Sigma and CapSU Pilar; while CapSU Pontevedra sent its Hospitality Management majors. Meanwhile, CapSU Roxas required their Food Technology Education students to avail themselves of the opportunity.

Students learned basic housekeeping with bed making and food and beverage service with includes table setting. Students were also taught a number of culinary lessons including basic cooking, Asian cuisine and food styling.

A brainchild of CapSU President Editha Magallanes, the initiative sought to render practicable and functional skills for CapSU students. The hands-on approach and the bringing of experts right at the school’s doorsteps offer the students a better grasp of the real business and markets to which they can sell themselves.
