Answer to Question 1

Answers to this question will vary, but steps to remedy this issue can include:
 Determine whether olive oil is used in the dish for either cooking purposes, flavor, or both.
- For cooking, canola oil is a comparable substitute for olive oil.
- When olive oil is used to impart an olive flavor, such as in a dressing, consider using olive puree. Allow your restaurant staff to taste redeveloped dishes.
- If necessary, suspend the menu item until olive oil is available.
 During the pre-service meeting, address this issue to the kitchen and service staff, explain the proposed changes, and gather the staff's feedback.
 Alerting your clientele depends on how drastic the menu changes. It is important to communicate to customers of nutrition content changes significantly.
