The economy of any nation is affected by the food served in both homes and in the eating establishments of the country. It is the primary responsibility of the hospitality industry to provide food for people of all ages, in all walks of life, at all times of the day or night, and in every situation. The caterer should not only identify the people’s hospitality needs, but should also ensure that customers get necessary services required.
The hospitality industry plays a very significant role in the following areas:

• Provision of food and drinks: One of the importances of the hospitality industry is the provision of food and drinks. This is done mostly in the hotels and restaurants.

Most hotels provide breakfasts, lunches, teas, drinks and snacks and banquets. Hotels ranges from the palatial, first class luxury hotels to small hotels owned and run as family business.
Restaurants will vary with the kind of meals they serve. While some will serve all types of meals, others will either serve lunch and dinner or lunch and tea. Banquet will also be part of the restaurant operations. There are exclusive top class restaurants and small roadside ‘bukar’ and cafeterias. Also, some restaurants are popular for some specialty foods e.g. Mr. Biggs, French Café etc.

• Job Creation: Another importance attached to the hospitality is in the areas of job opportunities. Many jobs are created in the hospitality industry. This includes both skilled jobs as well as semi skilled jobs.
