Master in Restaurant & Culinary Management
Master in Restaurant & Culinary Management at HICL
The Master in Restaurant & Culinary Management is for senior kitchen and front-of-house professionals who want to think about restaurants the way owners and investors think about them — in terms of unit economics, brand, supply chain and people, not only in terms of the pass.
It pairs culinary leadership with the harder business disciplines that decide whether a great kitchen becomes a great restaurant. If you have spent ten years as a Chef de Partie, Sous Chef or Head Chef and you are starting to look at your own site, this is the right qualification to sharpen your commercial thinking.
Why this master's exists
Plenty of brilliant cooks open a restaurant and close it within eighteen months because they underestimate the back office. Lease negotiation, P&L, cost-of-goods, allergens, licensing, rota planning under a real wage bill — these are the things that quietly sink food businesses. The Master in Restaurant & Culinary Management treats those topics with the same seriousness as menu design.
Who This Programme Is For
- Head Chefs and senior sous chefs preparing for executive or ownership roles.
- Restaurant general managers wanting deeper culinary credibility.
- Hospitality entrepreneurs planning to open or franchise a concept.
- Family-business operators taking over a restaurant group.
Career Pathways
Graduates typically progress into executive chef, restaurant general manager, multi-site operations director, food and beverage director and owner-operator roles. The Master in Restaurant & Culinary Management also supports consulting work for new restaurant launches.
How the Programme Is Delivered
Available on-campus, online and via distance learning. Module structure and intake calendar are confirmed at enrolment. The master's assumes you can apply concepts to a working operation, so case-based assessment is common.
Entry Requirements
