Day: _____

Part 3: Cost and document special menus and meal plans (your costing template has been uploaded to Didasko for you)

• Complete all six tasks.
• Refer to checklist at the end of Activity A of all required documentation.
• Using your Daily meal plan and menu item checklist;

1. Itemise all proposed expenditure items for each dish.
2. Calculate portion yields and costs from raw ingredients for each dish using computer technology. (Provide formulas, calculations, spread sheets, etc., for each dish.)
3. Assess cost-effectiveness of proposed dishes against any budgetary constraints. (Provide formulas, calculations, spread sheets, etc., for each dish.)
4. Choose high-yield dishes and list them.
5. If any menu items send your menu beyond budgetary constraints, you may need to do a second draft of menu items and rewrite your Menu overview and Daily meal plans accordingly.
6. Answer the following questions:

1. List the three standard measures you would use when itemising ingredients and calculating portion yields and/or costs from raw ingredients. Provide an example of each one.

The three main strategies are

a:PURCHASE: the quantity of food purchased

b:EDIBLE PORTION: the amount of food that is edible/ consumed.

C: WASTE :the amount of waste (peelings ,fat ,etc) removed from the food

2. You buy 10 kg potatoes. After washing, peeling and trimming them you have 9.5 kg left.

Calculate the yield % of the potatoes. State the formula you used. Show how you arrived at this figure.

YIELD %=EDIBLE PORTION/AS PURCHASED QUANTITY

i.e. 9.5/10*100

=95%

Use this information to answer questions 3, 4 and 5 regarding the butcher’s yield test on turkey.

3. Calculate the yield % of the turkey. State the formula you used. Show how you arrived at this figure.

Yield %=edible portion/as puchased quantity*100

i.e. 12/20*100

=60%

4. Calculate the usable trim % of the turkey. State the formula you used. Show how you arrived at this figure.

Usable trim %=usable trim weight/as puchased quantity*100

i.e. 5/20*100

=25%

5. Calculate the waste % of the turkey. State the formula you used. Show how you arrived at this figure.

Waste %=waste/as purchased quantity*100

i.e. 3/20*100

=15%

or

waste %=100 -(trim %+Yield%)

I.e.=100-(25+60)

=100-85

=15%

Part 4: Monitor special menu performance

Evaluate the success of the menu.

1. What additional information could you use to assess your menu’s success?
