Assessment 2
1. Students must design following menus and cost them all by conducting a menu
analysis for each menu. The essential requirements for each menu are listed below:
➢ à la carte
➢ buffet
➢ cyclical
➢ degustation
➢ ethnic
➢ set
➢ table d’hôte
➢ seasonal
➢ The menu must also comprise a balanced range of menu items and must include:
a. Seafood dishes
b. Meat dishes
c. Poultry dishes
d. Vegatarian dishes
e. Gluten free dishes
f. A range of desserts hot and cold
➢ The menu must comprise of 5 Entrée’s, 5 Mains and 5 desserts
➢ It must have a range of colours and flavours
➢ The menu must then be costed according to realistic ingredient prices and portions sizes and
ingredient yields. The ingredients within each recipe must be costed to determine the cost
per serve of every menu item on the menu. This must then be entered into a menu analysis
template (section 2 of this assignment) that the trainer will issue to the student. The
menu once entered into the menu analysis spreadsheet must fall at 30% food cost
percentage or below.
➢ The menu must be presentable to industry standard in a word document and should use
current industry trends in menu design.
➢ Once the costings of the menu are entered into the menu analysis spreadsheet students must
determine the average cost per customer of the entire 3 courses, then must determine
the selling price of the function as price per head. The price per head must take into
account that the food cost percentage at 30% or below.
2. 2 menu analysis’s must be submitted for each menu. An example of the menu
analysis template for the A La Carte menu is provided on the next page. The trainer
must provide students with all 3 templates for their food costings. Once the student
has completed each menu analysis within the excel spreadsheet all 3 must be
handed into the trainer with each menu. Attach each of these to this assessment and
all 3 must fall below 30% food cost percentage
(Menu analysis template example for the A La Carte menu is provided on the next page)
The menu analysis sheet comprises of a few different terms as headings for each financial
performance indicator. The definitions for each term of each heading are below:
Menu mix %: Determines the popularity of a dish over a certain time period (can also be
termed as the ‘popularity index’). It is determined by the ‘amount sold’ divided by the ‘total
dishes sold’ then multiplied by 100.

3. Scenario: You are the head chef at a restaurant and the general manager has provided
you with a report that the food cost percentage for the month is 34%. He has asked
you to find ways to reduce this back to 30% as the restaurant did not make any profit
for the month. Use your menu analysis spreadsheet in the previous exercise as a
guide by changing figures around in order to lower the TOTAL food cost percentage
%. List below all the ways possible that you could lower the monthly food cost
percentage back to within the budget that the general manager has set you and
report this back to your trainer. Also describe how customer feedback can play a role
in determining an ongoing profitable menu
Answer:
1. Reduce portion size on certain dishes: Reducing the portion size of certain dishes could help to lower
the food cost percentage. For example, if a dish has a high food cost percentage relative to its price,
reducing the portion size could help to reduce the overall food cost percentage.
2. Increase prices on certain dishes: Increasing the prices of certain dishes could help to lower the food
cost percentage. This could be done on dishes with a high food cost percentage relative to its price or
dishes with a low sales volume.
3. Remove certain items from the menu: Removing certain items from the menu could help to lower the
food cost percentage. This could be done on dishes with a high food cost percentage relative to its price
or dishes with a low sales volume.
4. Adjust the ingredients used in dishes: Adjusting the ingredients used in dishes could help to lower the
food cost percentage. This could be done by substituting certain ingredients for cheaper options or
reducing the amount of certain ingredients.
5. Offer discounts on certain dishes: Offering discounts on certain dishes could help to lower the food cost
percentage. This could be done on dishes with a high food cost percentage relative to its price or dishes
with a low sales volume.
Customer feedback can play an important role in determining an ongoing profitable menu. By gathering
feedback from customers, restaurants can identify which dishes are popular and meet customer
preferences. This can help to inform menu decisions, such as which dishes to keep, which dishes to make
changes to, and which dishes to remove. Additionally, customer feedback can help to inform pricing
decisions, such as when to increase prices, when to reduce prices, and when to offer discounts.
