  6. Training and Human Resources committee • Training is a major service that should be provided to EMRF Members • Training should be conducted, in response to members’ needs. But the significant number of restaurant industry employees in EMRF members need a well-developed training program that is based on the specific needs of members and the industry as a whole • Training programs have to be targeted towards developing the skills of restaurants employees. • The industry’s reaction to graduates of colleges and vocational training centers indicates a need to create awareness and appreciation of respective roles in formal training and professionalism in the tourism industry. • Through this committee, EMRF with help of Euro Mediterranean Academy of Tourism (EMAT) will develop professional training programs for the members to which will create a pool of highly skilled human resources that is able to meet the requirements of the tourism industry in the area.

  7. OBJECTIVES 1.As one of EMAT founders, the Federation should work towards enhancing the human resources skills. 2.Establish a network of specialized trainers between the EMRF members 3.Provide specialized training programs based on the specific needs of EMRF members 4.Conduct Training of Trainers (TOT) program in cooperation with EMRF members 5.Develop structured training programs for interns and restaurant employees

  8. Quality Assurance, Environmental Hygiene & Occupational Safety Committee • Diversity is the key issue of this sector; there is a diversity of facilities, equipments in these outlets, diversity of labor skills and wages, and diversity in the consumers and the expectations of the consumers. • To develop a product is to improve the product quality by complying with recognized the International Standards. • Moreover, occupational health and safety is a major concern to workers and employers worldwide. The high personal, social, and economic costs associated with workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities can often be prevented by an informed workforce. • Other main issue that most hospitality businesses recognize is the importance of being environmentally aware through saving energy and water.

  9. OBJECTIVES 1. To make recommendations for improvements to services with identified inadequacies in existing operational systems, procedures and guidelines. 2. To conduct extensive researches aiming at identifying health and safety issues in the workplace. 3. To ensure that workers are prepared for unexpected injuries in the work place. 4. To recommend good performers for Quality Assurance Awards and Certificates to motivate outstanding and hardworking front-line staff. 5. To encourage, promote and support ecological consciousness in the restaurant industry to become "GREEN".

  10. Legislation and Regulation Committee • The Federations’ aims at expanding its service through adopting a more proactive approach that addresses specific challenges faced by members especially those related to legislation that regulate the work of restaurants. • The Committee should be an active partner on conducting a holistic review of country member's legislative and regulatory environment pertaining to tourism sector development. • It should also calls for reforms that ensure a highly efficient legal environment, clear mandates, an empowered role for the private sector, and favorable investment conditions capable of attracting and facilitating procedures for both domestic and foreign investors in each country. • Share best practice experience among all EMRF members.

  11. OBJECTIVES 1. Conduct extensive research on all relevant policy issues influencing the restaurant industry in each EMRF country. Such policies include tourism, health and investment legislation and other legislation critical to the success of restaurants in each country. 2. Track changes in legislation affecting the tourism industry in each country. Any changes and/or amendments should be communicated to members regularly. 3. Forming active coalitions between country members to advocate policy issues affecting the restaurant industry. 4. Identify and empower strategic allies from the government as well as other stakeholders who share similar challenges and have a stake in legislative changes influencing the tourism industry as a whole. 5. Once policy priorities are identified, the federation would develop policy papers that clarify EMRF members’ position on critical issues.

  12. Research & Development Committee • The Federation is aware that its efforts to engage in business development will be challenging but yet very timely and one that will reflect positively on members position, image and credibility among existing members and non- members. • Currently there is little information about each EMRF country member industry in terms of quality and contribution to the economy. This committee will work closely with research firms in each country to collect and document information necessary for helping investors and members in their effort to start or expand their restaurant businesses among the EMRF countries. • This committee will establish an EMRF Info Center, in which the federation will ultimately aim at becoming a one-stop-shop for members as well investors, offering services that range from providing information about the industry, to helping investors secure strategic partners and funding for their ventures. This new initiative will not only enhance the EMRF credibility in the tourism industry, it will also generate revenue for EMRF through specialized advisory services.

Make research papers available to members and potential investors. 2. Help investors identify strategic partners for their businesses 3.
