UNDERSTAND
Topic: Promote Food and Beverage Products (PP)
In the restaurant, a menu is a list of food and beverages offered to customers and the prices. A
menu may be à la carte – which presents a list of options from which customers choose – or table
d'hôte, in which case a pre-established sequence of courses is offered. (
1) A la Carte menu - prices each food item separately; it often contains greater choices for the
customer. There are any number of combinations a customer can choose for his/her meal from an A la
Carte menu. Although the price of A la Carte items are more expensive than those from a Table d'Hote
menu, a customer is allowed greater flexibility and is offered greater value in terms of food quality.
2) Wine/Beverage Menu - many restaurants offer a beverage and wine menu for their customers.
These menus often include specialty wines, teas, coffees, and cocktails. There may even be
suggestions on which wine best accompanies a particular meal.
3) Static Menu - offered all-year long. This type of menu is most prevalent in fast-food restaurants like
Macdonalds, Pizza Hut, and Burger King. For example, Big Mac, Filet-O-Fish, McChicken, and Quarter-
Pounder burgers are standard Macdonalds fare. At Pizza Hut, specialty pizzas like the Meat Lovers,
Vege Lovers, and Pepperoni Lovers are standard fare. The Create-Your-Own pizza section comes with
standard vegetable and meat toppings. Over the course of time, however, fast-food chains have added
new options to their standard menus during special promotion periods and holidays. However, the static
menu is still the prime reason many customers frequent these fast-food restaurants.
4) Du Jour Menu - this type of menu references a special dish for the day. The Du Jour menu can
change daily and often depends on the availability of seasonal items. Often, the du jour dish is offered
at a discount to customers. Some restaurants also like to offer a soup du jour or soup of the day.
5) Dessert Menu - offer desserts that are specific to particular restaurants. Included in these dessert
menus may be specialty desserts the restaurants are famous for. Many steakhouses include separate
dessert menus for their guests. For example, Longhorn Steakhouse boasts a gourmet key lime pie and
molten lava cake on its dessert menu.

It is a detailed list of food and beverage offerings with their respective prices. It is prepared by a
food and beverage service businesses to keep the customers informed about the availability of various
F&B items.
A restaurant server must learn information about the menu like cooking method, serving portions,
tastes, and flavors, ingredients including cooking time and side dishes.
The server should have the opportunity to taste several items on the menu before serving. This way
he/she can describe in a more detailed way the flavor of particular dishes. Guest will not be impressed
if you tell them that a particular dish is not spicy and then find that it burns their mouth.The server must
never place himself in the position where a guest does not enjoy his/her meal. It is also important to
point out the following:
- dishes that take a long time to prepare or those which might suit someone in a hurry.
- dishes available for vegetarians or those customers with specials dietary considerations like no
dairy products or allergies to certain food like nuts.
- prices of dishes not on the menu, ingredients used to prepare the dish, and methods of cooking
used for the dish
- whether it is possible to vary the dish, example ,replacing vegetables with salad
- vegetables, salads, or other accompaniments that will be served with the meal
In some instances for the customer to be able to make an informed choice from the menu. They
must be able to understand the terminologies used.
Here are two reasons why the customer is unable to interpret the menu
1. They might have difficulty understanding the language. In this case, the server should try to
explain each dish clearly and lowly, pointing to pictures where appropriate.
2. The menu might contain terms that are unfamiliar to the customer because there are terms that
are derived from the French language and are used worldwide to describe a dish or the type of
cooking method used.
