Flashcards

Functions of a Menu

The menu functions to inform customers about available food & beverages, their preparation, and price. It organizes menu items logically, making understanding easier. It also presents the restaurant's image and serves as a marketing tool by appealingly describing dishes. Additionally, the menu dictates operational needs for staff, equipment, and materials, and establishes financial aspects such as pricing and profit margin.

À La Carte Menu

A French term meaning 'according to the card.' This menu lists all food and beverages individually, with each item priced separately. Customers order from the menu and pay for the dishes they choose.

Semi-À La Carte Menu

A menu that offers a combination of menu items, such as a main dish and a salad, with a single price for the combination.
