Answer to Question 1

The major cost control in restaurant and foodservice operations is portion control, or the amount of food in a serving. Successful food costing relies on correct portioning. This starts with the menu listing and is linked to the cook's line via the use of standardized recipes. Portion control devices are implements that assist in the portioning of food items. They include scoops, ladles, serving spoons, serving dishes, and portion scales. Whatever portion is represented on the menu must be translated accurately into the standardized recipes and then monitored in the serving process to ensure that food cost stays in line.

TRUE
