Professor Bruce McAdams discussed tipping on CBC Radio's alberta@noon. During his interview he took calls from listeners and discussed the issues people encounter when tipping at various dining establishments. (The interview begins at 21:23).
In this Q & A, Professor Statia Elliot, Director of the School of Hospitality, Food and Tourism Management, answers questions about her industry background, favourite places she's traveled, advice for future students and vision for the School. Read full profile.
Interviewed by CTV News, Statia Elliot comments on the recently released list of the world's friendliest cities. While Auckland, NZ and Melbourne, AU are in first and second place, Victoria, BC takes third, and Charleston, SC fourth, with Sydney, AU and Dublin, IE tying for fifth place.
Getting rid of tipping may help improve restaurant culture. The School's tipping experts, Mike von Massow and Bruce McAdams, talk about results of their recent study that interviewed approximately 100 managers and servers on the topic. What they found was that tipping causes a number of challenges ranging from controlling the quality of service to rivalry among staff.
Following an extensive international search, I am delighted to announce that Dr. Statia Elliot has been named Director of the School of Hospitality, Food and Tourism Management, effective August 1st, 2014.
