  • The Menu: Food and Beverage
    C H A P T E R • • • • 5 The menu: Food and beverage Introduction The menu is the primary selling tool of any estab- lishment that offers food and beverage for sale. For the customer it identifi es the items that are available, shows prices and any other charges and together with other external features may characterize the style of food service offered. From the establishments per- spective the menu should meet the objectives of the marketing policy, the catering policy and the fi nancial policy. The marketing policy should guide the catering policy so that the products on offer and the style of operation best meet the needs of the target market. The catering policy is concerned with the size and style of menu to be offered together with an appropriate style of service and this will impact on space requirements, level and type of equipment purchased, and the level of skill and number of staff required. The fi nancial policy aims to achieve revenue and profi tability to budget through pricing, cost control and volume. Food and Beverage Management Chapter objectives After working through this chapter you should be able to: ● Understand the differences between a Table d ’ hôte and à la Carte menu. ● Understand the basics of menu planning and menu design. ● Have a knowledge of menu pricing models and applications. ● Understand different types of beverage menus. ● Understand the need for accuracy and honesty in menu descriptions. ● Have a basic understanding of licensing and merchandising. TYPE OF MENUS Although there are many types of eating establishments offer- ing many types of meal experiences, there are basically only two types of food menus: the table d ’ hôte ; and the à la carte.

  • Corn Has Diverse Uses and Can Be Transformed Into Varied Products
    Maize Based Products Compiled and Edited by Dr Shruti Sethi, Principal Scientist & Dr. S. K. Jha, Principal Scientist & Professor Division of Food Science and Postharvest Technology ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, Pusa New Delhi 110012 Maize is also known as Corn or Makka in Hindi. It is one of the most versatile crops having adaptability under varied agro-climatic conditions. Globally, it is known as queen of cereals due to its highest genetic yield potential among the cereals. In India, Maize is grown throughout the year. It is predominantly a kharif crop with 85 per cent of the area under cultivation in the season. The United States of America (USA) is the largest producer of maize contributing about 36% of the total production. Production of maize ranks third in the country after rice and wheat. About 26 million tonnes corn was produced in 2016-17 from 9.6 Mha area. The country exported 3,70,066.11 MT of maize to the world for the worth of Rs. 1,019.29 crores/ 142.76 USD Millions in 2019-20. Major export destinations included Nepal, Bangladesh Pr, Myanmar, Pakistan Ir, Bhutan The corn kernel has highest energy density (365 kcal/100 g) among the cereals and also contains vitamins namely, vitamin B1 (thiamine), B2 (niacin), B3 (riboflavin), B5 (pantothenic acid) and B6. Although maize kernels contain many macro and micronutrients necessary for human metabolic needs, normal corn is inherently deficient in two essential amino acids, viz lysine and tryptophan. Maize is staple food for human being and quality feed for animals.

  • Chapter Ii Menu
    CHAPTER II MENU 2.1. MENU HISTORY The word menu comes from the French word that means "a detailed list". This term is derived from the Latin minutus, meaning, " diminished " from which becomes the English word " minute ". Based on this arise the assumption that menu is " a small, detailed list". Instead of" menu " some may use the term " bill of fare ". A " bill" is an itemized list and " fare " means food, so we can say the term means " an itemized list of foods ". This works out to be pretty much the same thing as " menu ". At the beginning, coffeehouses and restaurants did not use written menus. Instead the waiter and waitress recited available items from memory. Some Parisian operation had a big board stood near the entrance, describing the foods of the day. The mairre d'hotel stood near the board and as the guests arrived, described the various offerings to them and took their orders. 2.2. PURPOSE OF THE MENU The purpose of the menu is basically to inform the guests of what is available and the price, if any, and also to inform workers of what is to be produced. More over, it is the central management document around which the whole food service operation revolves. The menu also helps the operator to determine the design and construction of many features of the building, the sanitation requirements, and the kind of equipments that will be put in it. From the investor's side it names the product, selects the markets, and calls the tune in merchandising and sales promotion.

  • U.S. Foreign Direct Investment in the Western Hemisphere Processed Food Industry
    U.S. Foreign Direct Investment in the Western Hemisphere Processed Food Industry. By Christine Bolling, Market and Trade Economics Division, Steve Neff, and Charles Handy, Food and Rural Economics Division, Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. Agricultural Economic Report No. 760. Abstract Foreign direct investment (FDI) has become the leading means for U.S. processed food companies to participate in international markets. Affiliates of U.S.-owned food processing companies had $30 billion in sales throughout the Western Hemisphere in 1995, nearly 4 times the level of processed food exports. This report puts U.S. foreign direct investment and trade in processed foods to the region into global perspective, and finds evidence that, in the aggregate for the 1990’s, trade and FDI are comple- mentary—not competitive—means of accessing international food markets. Incomes have grown sufficiently in most countries to support growth in affiliate sales and U.S. exports, indicating a strong demand for a wide variety of processed foods. Keywords: U.S. food processing industry, Western Hemisphere, foreign trade, foreign direct investment Acknowledgments The authors acknowledge the helpful reviews of Richard Brown, Nicole Ballenger, Mary Burfisher, Steve Haley, Dennis Henderson, Gregory Pompelli, David Skully, and Francis Tuan. The authors are especially grateful to Mary Burfisher, ERS, for running appropriate scenarios of the Burfisher-Robinson-Thierfelder CGE model and offering helpful comments on the presentation of the experiments’ results.
