: I would realistically still go for "hotel and catering"; however, hospitality industry is just as fine ;)

Creio haver uma diferença entre "catering" and "restaurant".
catering
n. business of supplying and serving food (at parties and events)

restauração = refere-se aos restaurantes dentro dos hotéis.
catering = fornecimento de alimentos para eventos.

While both career choices are fast paced, catering has a different pace than working in a restaurant. A restaurant has fast hours, when people wait in line and the kitchen goes crazy. A catering business has fast days, when everything must be done at once and ready to go when the guests arrive. It involves coordinating all the dishes at one time-and usually with a smaller staff. People who open their own catering businesses often hire their own waiters, or serve the food themselves, so there's a lot more multi-tasking on the part of the catering staff. And while this may sound quick, catering also involves a lot of downtime. Hours may be spent planning menus with clients, experimenting with new tools and mapping out a day. After all, few catering companies cover special events seven days a week.

: The term catering in English covers restaurants and events, when referring to the industry as a whole/ I say this from firsthand knowledge of the catering industry.

I don't think so. Please, see the above link./So do I. All the occurrences read "Restaurant and Catering Business, Industry, etc.

Thanks for all the inputs. Lovely to realise that we are all oh-so-great! Mind you, though - some suggestions may be better or less good than others depending on the respective contexts.
