Answer to Question 2

The menu-planner can implement several steps to achieve cost-savings, including:
- investing time in menu-planning to take advantage of supplies on hand, seasonal foods, and sales
- planning food purchases to avoid waste by determining the actual quantities of foods needed, taking advantage of seasonal produce and sales
- using standardized recipes and food preparation methods to reduce waste
- maintaining careful records to determine the costs/serving, supply inventories, and monitoring other related expenses
- implementing a food-service plan that includes some portion control
