Higher vocational hotel management profession has strong applicability characteristics and high requirements for comprehensive ability of talents. At present, the practical training conditions of most institutions cannot meet the needs of real hotels, resulting in the gap between students’ abilities and enterprises’ demands. Although the prospect of school-enterprise integration is promising, the cooperation is often superficial due to the differences in the values of both sides and the lack of performance evaluation mechanism. In this study, an evaluation index system based on the CIPP model is constructed to assess the performance of school-enterprise integration in higher vocational hotel management majors. The study applies the rooting theory to code and analyze 200 pieces of literature to form 4 first-level indicators and 16 second-level indicators, adopts the hierarchical analysis method to determine the weights of the indicators, in which the input evaluation has the highest weight (0.3377) and the background evaluation is the second highest (0.3224), applies the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to carry out empirical analysis on a higher vocational hospitality management major, and the comprehensive evaluation score is 86.91 points. The study further used the fsQCA method to identify four grouped paths to achieve high performance, with an overall coverage of 0.796. The results showed that: building a dual-teacher team (weight 0.3181) and the degree of perfection of the cooperation mechanism (weight 0.1352) were the key factors affecting the performance of school-enterprise integration, the path with the participation of a large enterprise and a perfect project implementation process had the highest coverage (0.488). This study provides a systematic evaluation tool and improvement path for school-enterprise integration in higher vocational hotel management program.
