CAIBOK 3322 The Restaurant Industry

The CAIBOK 3322 competency exam measures a student’s understanding of the restaurant industry, from its global history to how modern restaurants operate today. It covers different types of restaurants like hotels, food trucks, and fine dining, as well as common service styles. Students must understand how restaurants are organized, how money is made and spent, and how different departments—like the kitchen and front of house—work together. The exam also includes restaurant ownership types, important roles in the kitchen, and common business models used around the world.

In addition to operations, the exam tests knowledge about marketing, sustainability, technology, and the future of the industry. Topics include how to attract guests, use software for bookings and sales, and reduce waste through better systems. Students are expected to understand trends like delivery apps, digital menus, and automation. The goal is to show that the candidate is ready to work in or manage a restaurant in today’s fast-changing foodservice world.
