Complete the details for each menu as outlined below.
2. 1 menu type selected for main types of customer groups that have special dietary requirements must consist of a 1-week cyclic menu or meal plan consisting of 7 3-course menu with a vegetarian option for each day.
The “Menu Price Balance template” for menu 6 below has these provisions. The food cost for the cyclic menu must not exceed $6.00 for any 3- course menu.
3. Each menu type must provide nutritionally balanced meal options for the relevant type of dietary requirement.

5. The Portion size for each dish must consider that there are 3 courses a menu and portion size therefore needs to reflect this.
6. Calculate each dish and show the cost per serve. Attach your yield calculations where necessary (if you use vegetables or meat, then the calculations must show the net price based on net yields). The support Tool Folder contains yield test tools to assist you in these calculations.
