“Albert is a prominent and highly respected Attractions industry leader when it comes to Food and Beverage training. His passion for operational excellence is reflected by the countless hours spent compiling this material. While amusement industry food service generally does a fine job with SOP’s, the development side is often lacking. With this book, Albert provides guidance on how to “Grow” leaders, versus simply training them. Not only does he teach the inner workings of the Theme park business, but he is able to mix in real world hospitality experience that meets the rising expectations of today’s customer. This book serves as a valuable foundation to help all food and beverage professionals elevate their careers.”

“Writing a book on Food and Beverage Training for the Amusement industry is a daunting task. Albert has taken his vast experience and extensive knowledge of the industry and seamlessly and comprehensively uses it to guide the reader on an A-to-Z journey of what you need/must know to be a successful leader, manager or front line associate in Food and Beverage. When it came to training and development, he was our “go to” resource for the IAAPA Food & Beverage Committee during my tenure, and this book continues to show his love and passion for the industry.”

Bernie Campbell Current Chair of the IAAPA Food & Beverage Committee

“Albert Cabuco is the perfect person to write about Food and Beverage training for recreational and leisure time foodservice operations. Food and Beverage in amusement parks and attractions continues to evolve, improve and grow in significance to the guest experience, and the bottom line. Albert has been incredibly successful in doing just that. No theory here...he’s accomplished it. In the more than 20 years that I have known Albert, he has consistently innovated with menus and training methods that exceed the desired results. Additionally, he has built and supported strong leadership teams that guarantee consistent growth, and stayed actively engaged within our industry, keeping him on top of trends and new best practices. I recommend that you make this book a must read and follow for your business.”
