The majority of us in the food and beverage industry DO NOT WORK 9 to 5. Many traditional classes are just not available to us without taking time off from work and missing the pay that goes along with it, which can make the classroom training very expensive. Many food and beverage employees are working when the traditional corporate worker is getting ready for bed.
Unlike other training classes, this new course is interactive and uses animation mixed with live action video. The live action portions were filmed and edited at Drexel University in Pennsylvania. The action portions contain likeable dynamic characters that "elevate you from a training exercise to a show, almost a sitcom."
