thoroughly read your Learner Resource, and clearly understand the assessment requirements and the

workplace environment.
You will be required to demonstrate knowledge and skills which must be observed directly by your

recording of the practical observation task must be submitted as supplementary evidence. Verification
from at least one third-party signatory, and preferably two or more witnesses is required to confirm
your demonstration of these practical knowledge and skills. These witnesses would usually be your
current or recent supervisors, or your assessor.
The practical assessment tasks may be completed using your own workplace, a simulated
environment, or a mix of both, as instructed by your assessor. To contextualise this assessment to
your industry/organisation, you may be asked by your assessor to provide additional information
based on your industry/organisation.
Instructions are given for each task. If you have questions, or unclear how to proceed, consult with
your assessor.
Records of all aspects of the assessment must be kept in your Learner Assessment Pack

Reasonable Adjustment
Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for candidates with a disability
- November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development Centre
Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning environment or making
changes to the training delivered to assist a candidate with a disability. A reasonable adjustment can
be as simple as changing classrooms to be closer to amenities or installing a particular type of software
on a computer for a person with vision impairment.
Why make a reasonable adjustment?
We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that candidates with a disability have:
 The same learning opportunities as candidates without a disability, and
 The same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a disability.
Reasonable adjustment applied to participation in teaching, learning and assessment activities can
include:
 Customising resources and assessment activities within the training package or accredited
course
 Modifying the presentation medium
 Candidate support
 Use of assistive/adaptive technologies
 Making information accessible both before enrolment and during the course
 Monitoring the adjustments to ensure candidates needs continue to be met
Assistive/Adaptive Technologies
Assistive/Adaptive technology means ‘software or hardware that has been specifically designed to
assist people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities’ (World Wide Web Consortium - W3C). It
includes screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software, alternative keyboards, devices for
grasping, visual alert systems, digital note-takers.
IMPORTANT:
Reasonable adjustment made for collecting candidate assessment evidence must not impact on the
standard expected by the workplace, as expressed by the relevant unit(s) of competency. For
example, if the assessment were gathering evidence of the candidate’s competency in writing,
allowing the candidate to complete the assessment verbally would not be a valid assessment
method. The method of assessment used by any reasonable adjustment must still meet the
competency requirements.

Calculating Portion
Yields
1. Determine initial, or as purchased (AP) weight.
i. Food cost
percentage 2. Determine the weight of waste or unused portion.
3. Subtract waste from AP to find the edible portion (EP)
4. For cooking tests, determine weight after cooking.
5. Calculate yield percentage (YP) by dividing AP by EP

 Standard portion costs


ii. Budgeted sales
 Costing Individual Items on a Plate
price  Yield Testing
 Using Yield to Calculate Food Costs
 Yield Tests and Percentages
 Cooking Loss Test
 Calculating quantities to purchase

iii. Standard yield Yield refers to how much usable product is available. When cooking,
tests yield refers to how much of a food product can be made from the
originally purchased material. Most food has unusable materials such
as peels, seeds, bones, excess water, and gristle. But typically, food is
purchased with some of this unusable portion as well. Some processing
methods can also change the final weight from the starting weight,
such as cooking tomato sauce down into tomato paste, and water is
boiled off, decreasing the weight.

Question 7

Read the scenarios about seasonal products and commodities.


Answer the questions that follow.

Scenario 1
Matilda is the head chef of a restaurant that provide different dishes based on the current season.
During the summertime, the restaurant serves fruit shakes since the customers look for beverages
that help them cope with the heat. Additionally, the restaurant offers tropical salad that use fruits
prevalently available during summer.
During winter, tropical salads were taken out of the menu. Fruit shakes were retained but was
priced higher to accommodate the increase of costs of the fruits as they tend to be scarcer during
winter. She then adds horse meat-based dishes. Customers go to the restaurant for dishes that use
horse meat, which provides a warming effect to the body when ingested.

a. Identify the two dishes offered by Matilda’s restaurant during summer.

i. fruit shakes

ii. horse meat-based

b. In your own words, briefly explain why the restaurant chose to offer the summer dishes
during summer season.
Your responses must be in 20 words or more.

Because of offering a seasonal restaurant menu, restaurants take advantage of helping


sustain local farms and food suppliers. This is because the seasonal dishes on the limited-
time menus will often feature in-season ingredients from local farms.

c. In your own words, briefly explain why the restaurant chose to increase the price of fruit
shakes during winter.
Your response must be in 20 words or more.

Because the cost of fruit is higher in the winter than it is in the summer, the expense of this
menu should be minimal.

d. In your own words, briefly explain how the menu changes when the season changes from
summer to winter.
Your response must be in 20 words or more.

The reason we have to modify the menu from summer to winter is because the human
body need something to keep warm in the cold.

year. Others can go years without making significant changes, occasionally adding a limited

In your own words, briefly explain how each method of collecting feedback on menu performances
are performed.
Your responses must be in 30 words or more.

Methods of Collecting
How Feedback on Menu Performances is Collected
Feedback

a. Qualitative

i. Social media You can use Google Analytics, Facebook Insights, or Yelp Dashboard to
see how many people visit your website, follow your page, or rate your
business. You can also use surveys, polls, or feedback forms to collect
more data and insights from your customers.

ii. Customer Another way to measure your menu's performance and customer
surveys feedback is to conduct customer surveys. You can use online platforms,
paper forms, or mobile apps to ask your customers about their
satisfaction, preferences, and suggestions.

discussions surveying customers through email or web-based feedback forms,
analyzing web analytics data to collect points of interaction within the
user experience that range from successful to problematic, conducting
focus groups or interviews.

iv. Staff discussions Employee feedback gives team members an avenue to express their
feelings and opinions on your company’s management team and
organizational processes. But it can be hard to collect honest feedback
from your team. Use these strategies to do so effectively.
