Purchasing
Purchasing of food and supplies is one of the most
important activities in home and in any food establishment. It
is defined as the process of buying the right amount of food
at the right time, from the right place and from the right
source. It is a complex and dynamic process with the goal of
securing the pre-established standards for quantity and with
economical price to meet the needs of the food service
operation.
The food purchaser must know effective purchasing
procedures to ensure that the best quality of food is bought at
a reasonable price. Food can easily become contaminated
during the various stages of the food flow from purchasing, receiving, storing,
preparation, holding, and serving. Time and correct temperatures need to be monitored
closely.
In purchasing, quality should never be sacrificed in favor of cost. Remember that
not all expensive goods, however, are necessarily of good quality.
The main objectives of an effective purchasing program are to:
Buy the product that is best suited for the menu
Buy the proper quantity of the item.
Pay the proper quantity of the item.
Deal with only reputable and dependable suppliers.

purchasing activity:
1. Buy the Right Quantity.

cost, wastage, pilferage, and too much money tied up in the storeroom.

The right quality is not always the best qualities. The right quality is that
determined by the needs of operations and communicated through food
specifications. This is what must be strictly followed and monitored.

with just one or two suppliers. Go out of your way to find establishments with good
prices.
4. Buy from the Right Source.

and come from good sources. They must also deliver what they promise within the
given period of time.
5. Buy at the Right Time.
