Included in this course with ICE Dean of Restaurant & Hospitality Management Rick Camac is every document you need in order to plan, open, and run a successful business. We will discuss the best financials to include in your business plan (Use of Proceeds, Detail Sales Projections, Detail Labor Projections, P&L pro forma, and more), as well as all your ongoing needs. The financials from these plans have launched many successful businesses (including many by Rick himself, the entrepreneur behind the acclaimed Fatty Group of restaurants). You'll also get plenty of real-world examples. We'll first focus on your prime cost and talk about the most important figure to track. The Weekly Dashboard will show you how to manage and view those critical numbers weekly, as Rick gives you tips on how to motivate your managers to care about them too. You'll get an overview of how to evaluate your P&Ls, what your ratios should be, and how to compare year over year and against budget. This course will benefit anyone trying to better understand their business, planning on starting their own business, or looking to move up the ranks with a strong understanding of what makes restaurants tick.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.

Before heading out to your local sushi bar for your next date night, come to ICE to learn how to create your own sushi and sake bar at home. Together, you'll start by learning the basics of how to make the foundation of all sushi: delicious, seasoned rice. You'll then create a variety of sushi accoutrements, along with vegetables and raw fish. Finally, you'll learn to make traditional hand rolls, maki, futomaki, and nigiri, before sitting down to eat with a refreshing glass of Japanese sake or a cucumber-sake cooler.
Georgian cuisine is finally being recognized for its variety, and the depth of flavors and techniques that characterize its unique culinary traditions. Given the country's location at the exact intersection of Europe and Asia, influences from both cultures have informed the dishes that the region is known for. From the banks of the Black Sea to the Caucasus Mountains, the land provides herbs, nuts and vegetables used in all aspects of its culinary traditions. You’ll become acquainted with the new "it" cuisine as you prepare: adjaruli khachapuri (cheese bread); nigvziani badrijani (stuffed eggplant rolls); tabaka (chicken cooked "under a brick") with blackberry sauce; and chakapuli (braised lamb with tarragon sauce).
The farms, orchards and of course vineyards of California's wine country combine to turn the region into one of the most bountiful in the U.S. The kitchens of Napa, Sonoma and the Russian River Valley highlight the quality of the ingredients at hand.

You will enjoy these with a selection of California wines.
