B. Lesson Proper:
Costing of meals is based on the number of servings and the portion size to be offered to
a person or a customer. The quality of food served or delivered should be carefully

A. Using a standardized recipe. Using a well-tested recipe that will produce the
same quality and quantity each time it is prepared prevents waste of time,
money, and effort on the part of the production and management staff.

consumed comfortably by a customer.

costs.
Portion sizes can be controlled by buying the required ingredients, training the
staff how to control portion or serving sizes, using appropriate utensils like measuring
cups, scoops, ladles, etc.
