Current and entrepreneurial food operations must first research products before they go to market or are implemented. This course discusses the multi-dimensional aspect of new product development and allows students to research factors that influence foods/beverages, including ingredients, market demands, and nutrition. Using theoretical and experiential learning, students will develop a product or menu item for an entrepreneurial or operational company.
