Menu knowledge

What i learnt about menu knowledge is that a menu is not just a book with a bunch of pages in where you are offered a whole alot of different choices. It is information that complements different types of taste buds.

As i went deeper into the subject i found that preparing a menu is not as easy as it seems. There is so much procedures that you need to follow:
  • You need to see what type of food you are willing to put on the menu and how much it is going to cost you as a manager or supervisor.
  • You need to work out prices based on the portion you are willing to give the guests.
  • You have to make sure that you have stock of these items at all times.
  • And last but not least you need to sell these items on the menu.
What i found interesting about menu knowledge is that the more you now about the products that is on your menu the more knowledge you can for yourself. And with that you are able to teach other staff members and inlighten guests on what they need to know.

I can use this in the future in the sense that when i work in a different hotel or game reserve i know what to exspect from the restuarant. It also benefit me in the means of i will be learning new knowledge from them and they will be learning somthing from me to.
