ACCURACY IN MENU CHECKLIST
Determine the accuracy of your own menu by using this checklistand answering the sample questions.
YES NO
—— —— 1. When merchandising steaks by weight, do I use the generally acceptedpractice of referring to the steak’s 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, orare they actually “large?”
—— —— 6. When I say “choice sirloin of beef” do I really refer to “USDA ChoiceGrade Sirloin of Beef,” as I’ve implied?
—— —— 7. Do I realize that it’s OK to use the words ”prime rib” to describe a cut ofbeef (i.e., the “primal” ribs: 6th to 12th ribs), but when I combine this termwith “USDA” (USDA Prime Ribs), I’m implying a grade of beef, not a cut ofbeef?
—— —— 8. Do I realize that “ground beef” is just what the name implies—groundbeef 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 ofgrades as set by federal and state standards?
—— —— 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 premi-um 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?

—— —— 14. Am I careful when advertising brand names that the brand advertised isalways 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?

• 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

—— —— 18. Do I use the term “fresh juice” only for a juice without additives and pre-pared from the original fruit within 12 hours of sale?
—— —— 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 • Corn-Fed Porkers • Fresh-Roasted• Flown In Daily • Finest Quality • Kosher Meat• Center-Cut Ham • Black Angus Beef • Own Special Sauce• Aged Steaks • Low Calorie • Milk-Fed Chicken• Slept in Chesapeake Bay

PROFITABLE MENU PLANNING — FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS 21
YES NO
—— —— 23. Am I always absolutely accurate in the terminology used to describe themethod by which the food is prepared?
Some preparation methods:
• Charcoal-Broiled • Deep Fried • Sauteed• Barbecued • Baked • Smoked• Broiled • Roasted • Poached• Fried in Butter • Prepared from Scratch

B. Use sliced strawberries on a shortcake when the picture depicts wholestrawberries?
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,I’m using imitation sour cream or margarine?
F. Let my waiter/waitress tell a customer,“The pies are baked in our ownkitchen,” when in fact they purchased prebaked, institutional pies?
—— —— 26. Am I sure I never risk the public’s health by misrepresenting the dietary ornutritional 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 avoidmisrepresentations and potential customer misconceptions about your food.
