I believe the scope for career growth depends on many things like your work location, employer, designation, relevant experience, skillset, etc. However, if you compare Hotel Management and Culinary Arts, Hotel Management wins the race.
Hotel Management is multidisciplinary and covers specializations like Food & Beverage, Human Resources, Culinary Arts, Food Production, Bartending, Nutrition, and more, it obviously has more and better employment options.
So, if you are into Culinary Arts Management, you should stick to this specialisation and explore the areas of growth in your respective field.

In my opinion, being in the Culinary field of work has both pros and cons, here are some aspects you can look at, compare yourself, and make an informed decision:
Pros:

• Chance to be creative and express oneself through food.
• Chance to bring joy and satisfaction to others through cooking.
• Potential for career advancement, from line cook to chef to restaurant owner.

Cons:

• Long, irregular hours that can include nights, weekends, and holidays.
• A high-stress environment with tight deadlines and demanding customers.
• Lower relative pay compared to other professional fields.

Hope this will help you.
