Summary

A course text explaining how computers are used in all phases of the hotel and restaurant industry. Defines basic computer terms, describes hardware and software components, and illustrates generic application software such as word processors and databases. Then describes more specialized uses in the front office, restaurant management, hotel operations, and information systems. No dates are noted for the previous edition, but the third takes account of the Internet and the common practice of networking all parts of a company's computers.
