New online courses to prepare you for the foodservice frontier

Create your own opportunities in this growing field by:

- Choosing a career in R&D
- Enhancing your current R&D skills as your job grows more complex
- Leading your company through the CIA's "process collaboration" philosophy

Menu successes – and failures – create system-wide impact in today’s multi-unit foodservice world. Risk and complexity scale rapidly against a backdrop of shifting consumer needs, heightened competition, and operational logistics. With so much at stake, today’s menus must be engineered through a formal, ongoing process inclusive of all stakeholders.

Working with foodservice segment leaders, the CIA has developed the first and only industry standard for Menu Research and Development. Through its educational programming, the MenuMasters® Center teaches the strategy and tactics of “process collaboration” among the many professionals who plan, market, buy, sell, create, execute, engineer, source, package, and deliver a foodservice brand.


A single collaborative cycle begins with a customer need and ends with delivery of a standardized plate presentation. In between, team members shepherd that need through six distinct steps, each of which depends on cross-discipline participation and understanding. Inside the Center’s Web-accessed “creative classroom,” featuring live interaction among students and faculty, each team member will learn the sensibilities of the other disciplines as well as enriching their own.
