SHORT ANSWERS
Marking Guide
While marking the students written answers, ensure that each student has a thorough understanding of the
required knowledge and underpinning skills.
19: Briefly describe four food production requirements that affect the planning processes in a
commercial kitchen.
The four food production requirements that effect the planning process in a commercial kitchen are:
Types of service
The planning process is affected by the types of service been provided in the organization, as different
kind of service needs different time and it cannot be done as planned and sometimes affect the planning
process of commercial kitchen.
THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING COMPANY PTY. LTD. T/A ASTRAL SKILLS INSTITUTE OF

20: List three features of the ‘fresh cook’ food production process.
21: You coordinate production for a kitchen in an international hotel. It has a centralised kitchen that
services the café, restaurant and room service. All three outlets have à la carte menus. Most food
preparation for the function rooms is also completed here. There is a small satellite kitchen in the
function area for final finishing, heating and plating.
What type(s) of in-house food production systems are suitable for this establishment? Explain why.
THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING COMPANY PTY. LTD. T/A ASTRAL SKILLS INSTITUTE OF
AUSTRALIA
22: Outline one consideration for each step in the ‘cook-chill’ food production process.
Step 1: Receiving: the food is received and kept in proper way.
Step 2: Mise en place: Mise en place is done by receiving and preparing the food items.
Step 3: Preparing or cooking: foods are cooled fully and then chilled rapidly, refrigerated for
storage and reheated before serving the food.
Step 4: Post-cooking storage: After cooking the foods and cooled and then stored.
Step 5: Reconstitution: Re constitution is the process of making the food again in consuming
condition before serving to the customers.
Step 6: Re-thermalisation: The products are reheated in a steamer and immersed in hot water or
bag may be opened to empty contents into a kettle or serving pan.
Step 7: Serving: Aroma, taste, texture, the final presentation delivers quality, fresh cooked
goodness.
23: Briefly explain how your equipment and staff influence which food production system you use.
The equipment and staff influence the food production system by different aspects such as the
equipment should be used according to the food being produced or the food production system one is
using, for example if we are t prepare tandoori naan then we require tandoor to prepare naan because
that is the specific equipment required to prepare the food and staff influence the food production system
used because the skilled staff is required to prepare certain food, everyone does not have same skills in
THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING COMPANY PTY. LTD. T/A ASTRAL SKILLS INSTITUTE OF
AUSTRALIA
24: What are two production factors that influence recipe selection?
The two production factors that influence recipe selection are the cooking method we use and the type
of food we are preparing, the recipe should be selected according to the food which is been prepared
because a food is completed only if it is made according to the ingredients required and the recipe is
also influences according to the cooking method as different cooking methods requires different kind of
recipe being selected.
25: List and briefly explain the five steps in developing a mise en place plan.
THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING COMPANY PTY. LTD. T/A ASTRAL SKILLS INSTITUTE OF
AUSTRALIA
Food preparation lists are prepared for the kitchen staffs such as cook, chef, supervisor and customers
as well because it contains contents such as list of food items and needed quantities which must be
prepared for each cooking station for the particular day or week.
THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING COMPANY PTY. LTD. T/A ASTRAL SKILLS INSTITUTE OF
AUSTRALIA
27: Briefly explain how single and multiple production periods affect calculations for food supplies.
The single and multiple production periods affect calculations for food supplies because when there is
single food production the ingredients are according to that and less ingredients and less time is
consumed and when multiple production is done i.e., when the food is prepared for multiple times, the
ingredients get doubled and the time consumption is also double so these things matter when doing
calculations for the food supplies because the food supplies are ordered according to the production
period and ingredients required.
28: Where can you find out information on stock levels before you place an order for food supplies?
We can find out information on stock levels in storage before we place an order for food suppliers, stock
level information is maintained in storage in a specific stock maintaining sheets by the storage
supervisor mostly and everything is mentioned in it such as old stock, new stock, stock which are
finished, stock which are left etc. stock levels information helps to know how much quantity we need to
order and when we need to order so that we are never out of stock.

30: Give one example of a critical limit or method of controlling hazards at each of the critical control
points.
Critical control points are located at any steps of hazards, it can be prevented, reduced and eliminated
at acceptable levels, the examples of critical controlling hazards are: testing ingredients, chilling, product
formulation control, residues, thermal processing, testing product for metal contaminants etc.
31: What are two techniques you can use to oversee a kitchen’s workflow?
The two techniques to oversee a kitchen workflow are maintaining the workflow sheet in a proper way
where everything is mentioned in a proper way so that you can supervise properly and another
technique is to oversee by person, one can personally attend the kitchen workflow and supervise and
understand what is going on and is it right or not.
THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING COMPANY PTY. LTD. T/A ASTRAL SKILLS INSTITUTE OF

The three techniques we can use to maximize the team efficiency are:
The team should be led by gratitude and should share regular tasks with each other.
Make the daily workflow more efficient.
Communicating with each other in a proper way.
Your chef is responsible for preparing desserts for tonight’s event. They have approached you to let you
know they are running behind schedule. A delivery of pre-prepared pastry was late which delayed
preparation of the berry tarts. The ovens required to blind-bake the tarts are in use for the next 30 minutes.
It is one hour until service starts.
The cause of the delay is because of the improper working plan and poor team work as the event was
pre scheduled it could have been done in amore proper and efficient way by working in team by making
proper listing of the ingredients required and the equipment required and doing mise en place of
everything by cutting and chopping the ingredients etc. team work is very important in these kind of work
where every body can be delegated by different people and everything will be done according to the
schedules time because everyone would have their own responsibility.
THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING COMPANY PTY. LTD. T/A ASTRAL SKILLS INSTITUTE OF
AUSTRALIA
As the kitchen manager, the steps I can take as the kitchen manager to control this situation and
minimise delays by delegating works to appropriate workers and distribute the works in a proper way so
that the work is done in a proper and efficient way and done in time, I would suggest them to use
different equipment which would make the work easier and efficient.
35: What personal management skills should you use when responding to and controlling this situation?
The personal management skills I should use when responding to the situation and controlling situations
like this by making the staffs of the kitchen to calm down first because when we do something is hurry,
we mess up everything, so I would suggest them to first calm down and then analyse the situation in a
proper way and then planning on how to handle the situation and I would give them my personal
suggestions as well and help them in every way possible by providing them with required equipment and
ingredients.
THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING COMPANY PTY. LTD. T/A ASTRAL SKILLS INSTITUTE OF
AUSTRALIA
36: Briefly describe the difference between feed-forward and concurrent methods of control used to
monitor quality control.
Feedforward is a type of control system or is an element or pathway that passes a controlling signal
from a source in its external environment to a load anywhere in its external environment, this kind of
control is often a command signal from an external operator, it responds to its control signal in a pre-
defined way without responding to how the load reacts. In this system of control, the control is not an
error based but it is based on knowledge about the process in the form of mathematics model.
It is a system of control which takes place when the thing or activity we need to control is in working
condition or is in progress, it regulates the ongoing activities which are part of transformation process to
ensure that they are according to the organizational standards, this type of control requires a good
understanding of the specific tasks involved and the desired product expected as this control involves
regulating ongoing task, it is also called as screening control sometimes because this control involves
several checkpoints to check the progress and determine whether the tasks needs to be continued or
not or if it needs to be stopped at the moment.
37: Identify two reasons why food items must match recipes and menu descriptions.
The two reasons that the food items must match recipes and menu descriptions are: the first reason is
that it helps the customers to order according to their choice because mostly the customers order their
food according to the ingredients in the food because they might not like some ingredients and the other
reason is the recipe must match to the menu descriptions because some customers may have food
allergy or intolerance to some kind of food so the description of the menu helps them to select perfect
food for themselves so the recipes also should match with the menu descriptions.
38: Every workplace tries to ensure a consistent quality standard in their food and menu items. What are
five indicators of quality you can use to check for consistency?
Every workplace tries to ensure a consistent quality standard in their food and menu items, the five
indicators of quality that can be used to check for consistency are: the appearance of the food, the smell
of the food, the texture of the food the portion size of the food and the taste of the food, these are the
things that should be consistent, the portion size should never be changed and always checked before
serving to the guests.
THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING COMPANY PTY. LTD. T/A ASTRAL SKILLS INSTITUTE OF
AUSTRALIA
The three final checks that should be done before serving the food are: the appearance of the food
whether it is looking good or not, the temperature of the food serve as right or not and checking for the
taste of the food for the right amount of salt and spices.
40: Briefly describe a situation when food items have had to be adjusted to meet quality requirements
and organisational standards in your workplace or training environment.
The food adjustments to be done to meet quality requirements and organizational standards in the
workplace are the situations such as when the customers have special dietary requirements, the food
needs to be modified or the ingredients in the food items needs to be changed and sometimes according
to the standard of the organization the food items need to be changes because the food items should be
according to the standard of the organization and type of customer in the organization, so these could
be the situations when food items have had to be adjusted in the workplace.
41: What instructions did you give to your team to resolve the problem identified in questions 33 to 35?
The instructions that I gave to my team to resolve the problems where I said them to work in team and
do the work as efficiently as possible and make sure that the equipment is used in a proper way.
