Nothing but a dictionary definition and a list of external links. HGK745 (talk) 21:42, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a poor quality article about a clearly notable topic. Several books about the topic are already in the article, and a Google Books search shows that there are dozens of books specifically about restaurant management. The solution is to expand the article and add references, not to delete it. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 00:46, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a stub not a dictionary definition. See WP:DICDEF, which explains the difference: "One perennial source of confusion is that a stub encyclopedia article looks very much like a dictionary entry...". Andrew D. (talk) 11:28, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As per above. Most likely to be searched for quite often. Further reading section is good quality. Good starting point for an expansion. Unoc (talk) 02:10, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Definitely a notable topic. Needs expansion, not deletion. At present it is a functional stub with useful external links. Icewhiz (talk) 11:00, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: In addition to what others said, the field is notable enough to have degree programs built on it. Just needs a better article. Beginning (talk) 08:11, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:BEFORE and per Beginning - whole courses and degrees at culinary schools and community colleges are offered. Bearian (talk) 23:30, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Obviously encyclopedic topic. --Doncram (talk) 03:18, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Clearly a notable topic, although a poor article. Britishfinance (talk) 10:44, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
