College Certificate - Culinary Arts - Restaurant Production

The Restaurant Production Certificate program assists students in learning the food production skills necessary to operate multifaceted food service operations. Food management classes also train them in inventory control, operations analysis, purchasing, production, supervision, and personnel management.

Students hone their craft through operating South Seattle College’s Food Court (featuring classic and contemporary menus, a short order grill, grab-and-go items and a delicatessen) and Alhadeff Grill, a waited-service dining room featuring cooked-to-order menus with preparation typical of upscale restaurants in the Pacific Northwest.

The department works closely with the hospitality industry to develop innovative, realistic programs that provide students with skills needed for successful employment.
