Solution

Price list and supplier invoices can be used  for identifying the cost per unit  or the purchase price of ingredient.

 

 

 

 

 

  1. List the three standard measurements you would use when itemising ingredients andcalculating portion yields and/or costs from raw ingredients. Provide an example ofeachone.

 

  1. For itemising ingredient we can calculate APQ (Liu,et al., 2019).

 

  1. To calculate portion yields, weigh edible portion and divide by AP (As purchased quantity before trimming) weight. EP Weight ÷ AP Weight = yield%

 

  • To calculate the cost of raw material –

Purchased = (Ending inventory – beginning inventory) + cost of sold goods

  1. You buy 10 kg carrots. After washing, peeling and trimming them you have 9kg left.

Calculatetheyield%ofthecarrots.Statetheformulayouused.Showhowyouarrivedatthisfigure.

 

Solution

EP Weight / AP Weight x 100 = yield %

 

So, 9/10 x 100 = 90%

 

 

 

Usethisinformationtoanswerquestions22,23and24regardingthebutcher’syield

testonchicken.

 

AsPurchasedQuantity(APQ) 10kg
EdiblePortionQuantity(EPQ) 6kg
Usabletrim weight 2.5kg
Waste trimweight 1.5kg

 

22 Calculate the yield % of the chicken. State the formula you used. Show how you arrived atthisfigure.

 

APQ Weight – Waste = EP Weight, now to calculate the % yield EP Weight/ AP Weight x 100

 

So, 10 – 1.5 = 8.5

So, EP = 8.5

Now, 8.5/10 x100 = 85% (that is the yield %)

 

 

 

  1. Calculate theusable trim % ofthechicken. State the formula you used. Showhowyouarrivedatthisfigure.

 

Solution

 

Usable trim weight/ APQ X100 = Usable trim weight %

 

2.5/10 X100 = 25%

 

 

  1. Calculatethewaste%ofthechicken.Statetheformulayouused.Showhowyouarrivedatthisfigure.

 

Solution

Waste trim weight/APQ X100 = Yield %

AssignmentActivity1

 

Q: When costing a menu, the overall food cost must take into account itemswith higher and lower food cost percentages. Provide an example of howthisisachievedinacommercialrestaurant.

 

 

Solution

 

Let us assume that the cost of food is $ 4 and its sales price is $10, so, to find out its food cost %

$4/$10 x100 = 40%. So, food cost % is 40.

Activity4

 

Researchfoodbusinessinyourareaasanexample.Brieflydetailtheprofileofthevenueandthe venues customers:

 

 

Solution

 

According to the research  of food business that are operating in  our area we have recognized that there are few restaurants that  serve niche dishes especially  the dishes that belong their own culture. So, the customers that visit their restaurant are people who generally belong to their culture.  And they try to provide them a traditional experience by designing their venue like that.

 

There are also some restaurants that offer fine dining services and has a nice ambiance but the food cost is quite high. The customers are generally the tourist people who get attracted by their venue location.

 

 

Once all menu factors, costs and processes have been established. You willneed to write and finlise the actual menu. Describe 5 considerations whenselectingresources,format,printandstyleandcorrectitemdescriptions.

 

Solution

 

 

1)   Design the menu in such a way that it represents the restaurant style.

2) Try to keep it short and the language used should be enticing and vivid.

3) Use printed menus in restaurants because it leaves a nice impact on the customer.

4) Print a clear picture of the dish in front of its name so that the customer can get an idea of it.

5) place the price list in a clear view so that there is no chance of misunderstanding left(Adeng and Firman,2013).

 

 

 

Choose one food businesses in your area and look at their menu and theirpricing.

Have a think about why they price menu items they way they do and brieflyexplain your thoughts on their reasons for pricing the way they do.Namethevenue andgivepricingexamples.

 

Solution

Gatherly is a food business in our area they generally offer the menu that contain dishes made up of seasonable ingredients.

They regularly update their prices according to the cost of the ingredient in the market.

I think their pricing depends on the demand of the item, for the items whose demand is more ultimately their prices are more.

 

For example, it is a winter season then the price for chicken Caesar salad

$14 and raw cost of the food $4.

Then, (14-4)/14 = 0.71

Then, 0.71 x100

 

71%.

 

 

Activity7

 

Once a menu has been implemented it is essential to review its success. List5optionswhich could be used:

 

Solution

1) It can be evaluated by analyzing customers feedback

2) By examining sales data

3) By examining popularity index

4) By analyzing profitability made by it.

5) By analyzing its ordering frequency(Vabø and Hansen,2014)
