ACCURACY IN MENU CHECKLIST


Determine the accuracy of your own menu by using this checklist
and answering the sample questions.

QUANTITY REPRESENTATION
YES

NO

1. When merchandising steaks by weight, do I use the generally accepted


practice of referring to the steaks weight prior to cooking?

2. Are my double martinis really twice the size of a single drink?

3. Are my breaded shrimp at least 50% shrimp, as government


regulations require?

4. Is my 3-egg omelette really made with three eggs?

5. Are my jumbo eggs really jumbo, the nationally recognized egg size, or
are they actually large?

6. When I say choice sirloin of beef do I really refer to USDA Choice


Grade Sirloin of Beef, as Ive implied?

7. Do I realize that its OK to use the words prime rib to describe a cut of
beef (i.e., the primal ribs: 6th to 12th ribs), but when I combine this term
with USDA (USDA Prime Ribs), Im implying a grade of beef, not a cut of
beef?

8. Do I realize that ground beef is just what the name impliesground


beef with no extra fat (the fat limit is 30%), water, extenders or binders?

9. Do I understand that terms like Prime, Grade A, Good, No. 1,


Choice, Fancy, Grade AA and Extra Standard are all descriptions of
grades as set by federal and state standards?
PRICE REPRESENTATION

10. If my pricing structure includes a cover charge, service charge or gratuity,


have I brought these items to my customers attention?

11. Do I clearly define any restrictions regarding the use of coupons or premium promotions?

12. If extra charges are made for special requests like all white meat or
no-ice drinks, are these charges clearly stated at time of ordering?

18

THE RESTAURANT MANAGERS HANDBOOK

REPRESENTATION OF BRAND NAMES

YES

NO

13. Are my house brands really manufactured to my own specifications, even


if they are prepared off premises?

14. Am I careful when advertising brand names that the brand advertised is
always the brand sold?

15. When substitutions are necessary for whatever reason (non-delivery,


availability, price, etc.), do I realize these substitutions must be reflected
on my menu?
Some such substitutions:

Maple syrup and maple-flavored syrup


Baked ham and boiled ham
Chopped veal cutlets and shaped veal patties
Ice milk and ice cream
Fresh eggs and powdered eggs
Picnic-style pork shoulder and ham
Milk and skim milk
Pure jams and pectin jams
Whipped cream and whipped topping
Turkey and chicken
Hereford beef and Black Angus beef
Peanut oil and corn oil
Beef liver and calfs liver
Cream and half-and-half
Cream and nondairy creamer
Butter and margarine

19

POINTS OF ORIGIN
YES

NO

16. Can I back up the following descriptions with package labels, invoices or
other supplier-produced documentation to prove point of origin?
Lake Superior Whitefish
Idaho Potatoes
Maine Lobster
Imported Swiss Cheese
Puget Sound Sockeye Salmon
Bay Scallops
Gulf Shrimp
Florida Orange Juice
Smithfield Ham
Wisconsin Cheese

17. Do I realize that it is all right to use the following terminology in the
generic sense to describe a method of preparation or service?
New England Clam Chowder
Russian Dressing
Irish Stew
Country Ham
French Fries
Danish Pastries
Russian Service
English Muffins
Swiss Cheese
French Toast
Country Fried Steak
Denver Sandwich
French Dip
Swiss Steak
German Potato Salad
French Service
Manhattan Clam Chowder
Florida Fresh Juice

18. Do I use the term fresh juice only for a juice without additives and prepared from the original fruit within 12 hours of sale?

MERCHANDISING TERMS

19. Instead of using the term homemade, do I use more accurate terminology,
like home-style, homemade-style, made on the premises or our own?

20. If I use any of the following terms, am I sure I can substantiate them?

Fresh Daily
Flown In Daily
Center-Cut Ham
Aged Steaks
Slept in Chesapeake

Corn-Fed Porkers
Finest Quality
Black Angus Beef
Low Calorie
Bay

Fresh-Roasted
Kosher Meat
Own Special Sauce
Milk-Fed Chicken

MEANS OF PRESERVATION

21. Am I careful not to misrepresent canned orange juice as frozen or canned


applesauce as homemade?

22. Do I use food preserved by the commonly accepted means: canned, chilled,
bottled, frozen and dehydrated?

20

THE RESTAURANT MANAGERS HANDBOOK

YES

NO

23. Am I always absolutely accurate in the terminology used to describe the


method by which the food is prepared?
Some preparation methods:

Charcoal-Broiled
Barbecued
Broiled
Fried in Butter

Deep Fried
Sauteed
Baked
Smoked
Roasted
Poached
Prepared from Scratch

VERBAL AND VISUAL REPRESENTATION

24. Do my menus, wall placard or other advertising materials containing pictorial


representations always portray the actual product with true accuracy?

25. For instance, am I careful not to:


A.

Use mushroom pieces in a sauce when the picture depicts mushroom


caps?

B.

Use sliced strawberries on a shortcake when the picture depicts whole


strawberries?

C.

Use four shrimps when the picture shows five?

D.

Use a plain bun when the photo depicts a sesame-topped bun?

E.

Let my waiter/waitress offer butter or sour cream when, in actuality,


Im using imitation sour cream or margarine?

F.

Let my waiter/waitress tell a customer, The pies are baked in our own
kitchen, when in fact they purchased prebaked, institutional pies?
DIETARY OR NUTRITIONAL CLAIMS

26. Am I sure I never risk the publics health by misrepresenting the dietary or
nutritional content of a food?

27. Do salt-free and sugar-free mean just that?

28. Can I substantiate with specific data any special nutrition claims or claims of
low calories?

NOTE: If you cannot answer yes to all these questions, it is time to revise your menu to avoid
misrepresentations and potential customer misconceptions about your food.
