Answer to Question 1

The two primary cost factors restaurant managers must consider before deciding to process their own fruits and vegetables rather than buying them in a pre-processed market form are product costs and labor costs.

Product cost will no doubt be lower when an operation processes its own fruits and vegetables. Alternatively, however, labor cost will be higher. Managers must carefully assess the product savings achieved and the labor costs incurred when making the decision to process their own fruits and vegetables rather than buying them in a preprocessed market form.

Answer to Question 2

The graphical table screen Figure 8.2 displays reservations, walk-in parties, server sections, and table status to the seating host. The table management software suggests a table for the host to seat the next guest on the waitlist based on programmed variables such as table size and server availability. The host then seats the guests within the application, which pages the guest, opens a check for the appropriate server within the POS system, and assigns the guest's name to the check, allowing the server to greet the guest by name when approaching the table. The graphical table screen will also display entres ordered, check printed, and check tendered to the host based on the server's use of the POS system. When the table is cleaned and available to seat, the server or the server's assistant/busser confirms this on any POS terminal and the available status is displayed at the host stand on the graphical table screen.
