It gives rise to problems typical to the current system of catering center management. As these problems are not adequately studied, it causes high expenses of catering center maintenance, the use of outdated, inefficient organization of production and sale. The author identifies and analyzes problems of catering center functioning in university, evaluates the system of managing its efficiency as a structural division of university. The article shows key factors influencing the efficiency of its work, such as 'vague' legal status, the absence of planning and planned figures, unavailability of a single control center, monitoring expenses on raw materials and product and service sale and others. The author puts forward certain ways of increasing the catering center profits and material incentives for workers, for example, enlarging the range of products and service, which could raise proceeds and income.
