Executive Dining Lounge (EDL)
The Executive Dining Lounge (EDL) at the College of Tourism & Hotel Management (COTHM) is a premier training facility designed to give students real-world exposure to the standards of fine dining and hospitality service. It provides a professional, industry-simulated environment where students not only learn but also practice the art of service training and dining skills training with precision and excellence.
At COTHM, we believe that hospitality education goes beyond the classroom. The EDL serves as a bridge between theory and practice, where students transform their classroom knowledge into hands-on experiences. From welcoming guests to managing dining protocols, every detail matters, and students are trained to master the essentials of professional service that are critical to success in the global hospitality industry.
In the Executive Dining Lounge, students practice and refine essential skills such as guest handling, table setting, order taking, food and beverage service, etiquette, and fine dining protocols. This carefully structured training develops confidence, professionalism, and adaptability—qualities that are highly valued in international hotels, restaurants, and resorts.By working in an environment that mirrors real-life hospitality operations, students graduate with the ability to perform at global service standards.
The EDL also emphasizes the importance of teamwork, communication, and leadership. Hospitality is not just about serving food; it is about creating memorable experiences. Students learn to anticipate guest needs, deliver personalized service, and maintain the highest levels of courtesy and professionalism. These experiences prepare them to not only serve but also to lead, making them future-ready professionals in the competitive world of hospitality.
What sets the COTHM EDL apart is its focus on experiential learning. Students are immersed in live service scenarios where they interact with faculty, peers, and guests, gaining feedback and refining their skills continuously. This approach ensures that learning is practical, engaging, and aligned with the real challenges and expectations of the hospitality industry.
By the time they complete their training at the Executive Dining Lounge, COTHM students are equipped with a comprehensive understanding of both the technical and interpersonal aspects of service.
