Importance Of Menu Cycle Within The Service

Post by seep » Sat Sep 19, 2015 5:47 pm

Q-why is it important to have menu cycle within the service?

A cycle menu is a series of menus planned for a specific period of time, for example, 3 weeks. The menu is different for each day during the cycle. At the end of the cycle (i.e., 3 weeks), repeat the menus in the same order. Because the series of menus start again, it is called a cycle menu.
Using a cycle menu can help you
• save time. It takes less menu planning and recipe preparation time because they are repeated.
• shop smart when you buy food since you know what you will use and know how much you will need of each food ahead of time.
It is important to plan ahead when preparing meals for children, so that a variety of food is offered. You can make it easier by planning your menus in advance and taking advantage of cycle menus, such as the ones in the Mealtime Memos. .
