Whenever a person leaves this home for more than a few days, he has to seek hospitality from his kind elsewhere, it may be that he requires a meal because he is too far away to go home and eat. He may be staying away over night which will require a room and a bed. If a man goes to work in the morning and does not return until late in the night, unless he takes his won food and makes his own tend he will have his meal in a staff canteen of work or to the services he obtained, he will expected at home such as a smile and a welcome. “The view aim of a hospitality industry is pressing that of providing temporary substitute for home” 

There had certainly been hotels since biblical times and no doubt before, and all the eastern regions at least enjoy providing travelers, an obligation which has continued up to date. This was even supported by the legal requirement of the United Kingdom (UK). Hotel proprietors acts of 1958 history in several king garages and some terms come and go in popularity from time to time.

CHAPTER TWO

2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW 

In the course of receiving the data collected in this research work, the ever occurring observation is that the rate of turnover varies significantly from one department to another. 

Amstrong (1994), States that gross turnover cost figure seen helpful in some cases, it is at the sometime misleading in that they fail to juxtapose high turnover, with low turnover areas. Rate of new employees, mostly skilled workers and the group are frequently seen with high turnover rate. 

Cole (1992) Stresses that a turnover rate of 26% would be considered perfectly satisfactory by most firms, while a turnover rate of 10% would be considered a major problem for an organization.  

The analysis of data received from various sources during the field of study though questionnaire is presented in this chapter. So also is the test of research hypothesis. 

2.1 MARKET FEASIBILITY AND FUNDAMENTALS

There are basically three ways of going into a catering and hotel business which include: starting from the scratch through development buying and existing business which can be developed further and buying a franchise. The services of an accounts is very useful in he early stage of going into a hotel business thereby debunking erroneous belief that accountants are only used for the preparation of audited operation are: legal adviser, marketing experts, investment analysis etc. (Edward Dawin, 1990). 

The fundamental objective of market feasibility is to help identify a market opportunity and the means of exploiting that market to meet the set objective. The extent or depth of a market feasibility study will very considerably according to the needs of situation. 

The basic aims of food and beverage control system can be simply stated as satisfying both the customer requirement and the financial requirement. To achieve this, system must seek to avoid excessive cost without sacrificing quality and competitors price of the product being marketed. 

Cost control in hotel operation is a very difficult task, this is further consumed by the business  orientation earlier discussed. The effect of this is that, it leaves very little time for control task and hence the importance of daily or weekly food cost report and overall control system could be grouped into four mutually inter – related procedure which form a continues cycle of operation. These procedure are: planning activating comparing and correcting.
