Production process
The main production techniques in the food and beverage service industry involve the preparation, cooking, and serving of various food and drink items. Establishments typically have well-equipped kitchens, where chefs and cooks use a range of culinary methods, such as grilling, frying, baking, and sautéing, to transform raw ingredients into delectable dishes. Bartenders and mixologists also employ specialized techniques to craft a wide variety of beverages, from classic cocktails to innovative mocktails and specialty drinks.
Production inputs
The food and beverage service industry relies on a diverse range of inputs, including fresh produce, meat, seafood, dairy products, grains, spices, and other raw materials. Additionally, these businesses require specialized equipment, such as ovens, stoves, refrigerators, and serving ware, as well as a skilled workforce of chefs, servers, and support staff to ensure efficient and high-quality service.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the food and beverage service industry are the meals, snacks, and drinks that are served to customers.

The industry's outputs are often consumed by other NACE codes, such as 55 Accommodation, 93 Sports activities and amusement and recreation activities, and 47 Retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles, as these sectors often rely on the food and beverage services to cater to their customers and employees.
