Let Us Study
The menu is a list of all food and drink that is offered in a restaurant. Why do we
need to study the menu? To improve customer relations and build the image of the
restaurant. It may change in terms of variety of foods or prices especially on items listed
but are out of stock and items that are not listed but are available; To have knowledge of
your products for sale and help service staff, suggest additional side orders and answer
questions tactfully; To enable you to help those customers who usually do not read the
fine prints on the menu and may request information from the server; and To help
waiters make suggestions to those guests on a diet and on a budget.
Menu is a list of all food and drink offered in an establishment (e.g. restaurant,
café, bar) during its operation and is arranged in a particular order. In a restaurant, a
menu is a presentation of food and beverage offerings.
Types of Menu
2. Lunch and Dinner menu – Containing lunch and dinner items for appetizer,
soup, salad, main entrées, desserts, and drinks.
3. Room Service Menu – Containing food items for in-rooming dinning for hotel
guests
1. Appetizers - are finger foods usually served prior to a meal, or in between mealtimes,
and are also called hors d’oeuvres, antipasti, or starters. They may range from the very
simple to the very complex, depending on the occasion and the time devoted to making
them. Appetizers are a common accompaniment to aperitifs, cocktails served prior to a
meal.

2021. https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/steak_salad/.
2. Soups - is a primarily liquid food, generally served warm (but may be cool or cold),
that is made by combining ingredients such as meat and vegetables with stock, juice,
water, or another liquid. Hot soups are additionally characterized by boiling solid
ingredients in liquids in a pot until the flavors are extracted, forming a broth.
Traditionally, soups are classified into two main groups: clear soups and thick
soups. The established French classifications of clear soups are bouillon and consommé.
Thick soups are classified depending upon the type of thickening agent used: purées are
vegetable soups thickened with starch; bisques are made from puréed shellfish or
vegetables thickened with cream; cream soups may be thickened with béchamel sauce;
and veloutés are thickened with eggs, butter, and cream. Other ingredients commonly
used to thicken soups and broths include egg, rice, lentils, flour, and grains; many
popular soups also include carrots and potatoes.
3. Salads - salad is a dish consisting of small pieces of raw or cooked food mixed with a
sauce and almost always served cold. Salads can be based around a wide variety of
foods including vegetables, fruits, and cooked meat, eggs, and grains. Garden salads use
a base of leafy greens; they are common enough that the word salad alone often refers
specifically to garden salads. Other types include bean salad, tuna salad, fattoush,
Greek salad, and somen salad. The sauce used to a flavor a salad is commonly called a
salad dressing; well-known types include ranch, Thousand Island, and vinaigrette.

Vegetable classifications:
Vegetables are classified according to which part of the plant is eaten. Some vegetables
fit into more than one category when several different parts of the plant are edible, e.g.
both the roots and leaves of beetroot can be eaten.
1. Bulbs- Usually grows just below the surface of the ground and produce a fleshy, leafy
shoot above ground. Bulbs usually consist of layers, or clustered segments. e. g. fennel,
garlic, leek, onion, shallot, spring onion.
2. Flowers- The edible flowers of certain vegetables. e.g. artichoke (globe), broccoli flower,
cauliflower, broccoli, choi sum, courgette or other squash flowers, gai lan (Chinese
sprouting broccoli).
3. Fruits- Vegetable fruit are fleshy and contain seeds. e.g. bitter melon, chilli,
cucumber, eggplant, and squash.
5. Leaves- The edible leaves of plants. e. g. cabbage, lettuce, spinach, and other leafy
vegetables.
7. Seeds- (Legumes) apart from sweetcorn, seeds grow in pods which are sometimes
eaten along with the seed. e. g. bean (green, pea, snow pea, sweetcorn).
8. Stems- The edible stalks of plants when the stalk is the main part of the vegetable.
e. g. asparagus, celery.
9. Tubers- Vegetables which grow underground on the root of a plant.
e. g., potato, yam.
Seafood is any form of sea life regarded as food by humans. Seafood prominently
includes fish and shellfish. Shellfish include various species of mollusks, crustaceans,
and echinoderms. Fish, oysters, clams, lobsters, and calamari are all seafood and are
served at many different types of seafood restaurants. Raw bar and oyster bars serve
shellfish straight from the sea, while a fish grill offers up meatier fish specialties cooked
over hot coals.
Meat is animal flesh that is eaten as food. Meat is mainly composed of water and protein
and is usually eaten together with other food. It is edible raw but is normally eaten after
it has been cooked and seasoned or processed in a variety of ways. Animals that are
commonly domesticated for meat are cows, bulls, goats, sheep, pigs, etc. Certain animals,
like camels and kangaroos, are raised in specific geographic locations only. Even wild
animals like wild boar are killed and their flesh is used for human consumption. The
flesh of animals hunted (not domesticated) for meat is called game meat. While beef is the
meat of cow, flesh of calves is called veal. Lamb is the meat of young sheep, whereas
mutton is the flesh of adult sheep. The meat of deer is referred to as venison. Meat is
available in different types and cuts too. Meat like beef, pork, mutton, etc., comes under
the category of red meat that is said to be unhealthy, if consumed in large amounts. The
term poultry refers to those birds that are domesticated for their eggs and meat. They
include chicken, duck, goose, pigeon, turkey, guinea fowl, emu, ostrich, etc. When
compared to red meat, poultry is said to be healthier. As in case of mammalian meat,
poultry too is available in different cuts, like breast meat, drumsticks, wingette, thigh,
etc. Apart from the domesticated ones, wild birds are also hunted for consumption.
5. Desserts - it is a typically sweet course that concludes an evening meal. The course
usually consists of sweet foods but may include other items.
There is a wide variety of desserts in the world’s cultures including cakes, tarts, cookies,
biscuits, gelatins, pastries, ice creams, pies, puddings, custards, sweet soups, and
candies. Fruit is also commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally
occurring sweetness.

Methods of Foods Preparations
Preparation time is the time it takes to cook up a food item on the menu. The time
it takes to cook an item will depend on the equipment in the kitchen, the efficiency of the
chef and the number of orders placed by the service staff. Preparation time can best be
learned from experience. Once you know them you will be able to time your orders
competently.
Meal Accompaniments:
Meal accompaniments are condiments, decorative garnish and food that may
compliment the entrée. Part of the responsibility of the serving staff is to bring the
condiments to the table to complete the order after adding the garnishes and
complimentary food or side dish to an entrée prepared by the chef. Make sure the
garnishes look attractive and that condiment containers are clean. Some
accompaniments may be kept at the side stand or station for convenience.
Food Allergens
Allergic reactions are often mild, but they can sometimes be very serious. In young
children, common food allergies include milk and eggs. In adults, allergies to fruit and
vegetables are more common. Nut allergies, including peanuts, are relatively common in
both school-age children and adults. Symptoms of a food allergy can affect different
areas of the body at the same time.
Food allergies and food intolerances can have similar symptoms but are very
different conditions. Intolerances, such as lactose intolerance and celiac disease, can
cause someone to feel ill. Food allergies not only can make someone feel ill, but also can
cause a life-threatening reaction.
Presenting the menu
2. Suggestive selling - the act of giving suggestions and ideas to increase the dining
guests’ original orders. A selling technique that introduces to the customer items
that not familiar to the customer. For instance, the customer did not order an
appetizer, the waiter may suggest. It could also be a cup of coffee to end the meal.
It is another way of increasing profit of the restaurant also.
Food pairing is a method for identifying which foods go well together. The method
is based on the principle that foods combine well with one another when they share key
flavor components. Food pairing is a relatively new method and is often confused with
wine and food matching.
