Students from the "Restaurant Management" program at the Faculty of Hospitality and Sports Industry of RANEPA recently experienced an immersive practical session within a leading restaurant structure.

During this session, participants observed the daily operations as well as the strategic planning that underpins a successful restaurant business.

The event unfolded in two distinct phases. Initially, students engaged in lectures and analyses of professional cases at the Academy to equip themselves for the upcoming visit. The practical component occurred at Maison Dellos, where participants witnessed real-time operational activities, interacted with the restaurant team, and assessed the implementation of managerial decisions.
Фокус на практических аспектах
The emphasis of the session was on the practical elements of modern hospitality careers. Students explored how digital tools and daily operations—from automating routine tasks to personalizing guest experiences—play integral roles in this field. Additionally, discussions centered on key competencies required for successful career entry, principles for professional development within large teams, and creating long-term growth pathways. Career planning also emerged as a major theme, where students learned to craft impressive r?sum?s and understand potential career trajectories. Furthermore, they examined product culture, particularly tea service, and the sommelier profession—where expert knowledge meets managerial responsibilities.

"I gained insight into how a large team operates and the genuine growth opportunities within it. I now know what steps I need to take post-internship," shared Veronika Dmitrieva, a second-year student of the program. "Experiencing the approach to work and team dynamics was invaluable. Such insights can't be gleaned from textbooks alone," remarked Sofia Gubaidullina, a first-year student.
These practical sessions have become a staple of the faculty's educational approach. From their first year, students engage with real cases, network with industry professionals, and acquire relevant tools. This methodology not only enriches theoretical knowledge but also cultivates a solid understanding of the profession, clearer goals, and confidence in their chosen paths. The Maison Dellos event marks a significant milestone in students’ academic and professional journeys—an essential stride toward constructing successful careers in hospitality. The Faculty of Hospitality and Sports Industry at RANEPA continues to strengthen partnerships with industry leaders to ensure every student gains experiences that truly transform their career outlook.
