Hilton Sydney has been named the host hotel for the premiere 2015/16 Australasia Food and Beverage (F&B) Masters which saw team members taking centre stage during the Barista, Wine and Bar Cups held on Monday 9 November.
In the spirit of cultivating culinary and drink talent, team members took centre stage during the Barista, Wine and Bar Cups held on Monday 9 November, with the Culinary Cup set for Wednesday 2 December at Ultimo Tafe.
The F&B Masters is a multi-faceted competition that provides a platform for Hilton team members to showcase their talents to management and industry professionals.
Finalists from these rounds will be announced ahead of the Australasian competition held on 21st January 2016 at Hilton Sydney.
The first hotel round was held at Zeta Bar with more than twenty entrants from Hilton Sydney battling it out during the Barista, Wine and Bar Cups, showcasing their skills and creativity to a panel of industry experts.
“The F&B Masters exposes team members to the variety of food and beverage career paths available and develops not only technical skills but provides growth professionally through presenting to and engaging with senior leaders of the hotel”
Ronald van Weezel, General Manager, Hilton Sydney
The program is strongly supported by managers who are dedicated to giving their time and skills to assist participants in their preparation. This enables managers to benefit from further developing their own leadership skills through applying a range of coaching techniques that will in turn ignite their own passion for developing others and seeing their team members succeed.
“Retaining our talent is essential and the F&B Masters is just one way that Hilton Sydney reaffirms its passion for developing emerging team members, whilst increasing guest satisfaction through delivering innovative drink and culinary experiences,” added van Weezel.
