Menu Engineering Analysis

Project description
FAB 461 Fall 2014 Section 5
Project
Assume that you are a manager at a full-service restaurant, Ciao in Downtown Summerlin. The restaurant has been operating for approximately a year and as a manager who has just taken a Food & Beverage Cost Control Analysis, you plan to analyze the performance of each item on your Menu. Conduct a Menu Engineering Analysis by using the data provided in Table 1 and make recommendations (change the menu/remove items/adjust price etc.) based on each items performance. Eg: If theres a need for change in menu item pricing, indicate the calculations and justifications behind the new pricing strategy. Report your findings and provide critical and compelling justifications behind each suggestion.
The project will be graded on:
1. Calculations & organization (separate sheet for each meal course) of the menu item analyses. (25 points possible)
2. Thoroughness of the report. (20 points possible)
3. Critical reflections on your understanding of the Menu Engineering Analysis and the performance of each menu items. (40 points possible)
4. Formatting. Your report needs to be in APA 6th Edition format. (Font 12, Times New Roman, Double Spaced) (15 possible points)
If you decide to work in groups, the maximum number of students to a group is 4. A hard copy of the project is due on 12/2/2014, during class time. I will not accept projects submitted after the dateline.

Hey everyone,
Just a reminder:
As mentioned in class (during the menu engineering week). You will need to categorize each menu items into its respective categories; desserts, entrees, appetizers etc. Remember, in menu engineering we will need to compare similar items, it wouldn”t make sense to compare soup to an entree and so on.
You can do the calculations in excel, and since there”s marks for organization and formatting, i need your table to be presentable (simply copy and pasting or printing the excel table will not get you a full mark for the organization and formatting).For example, if you”re copying the menu engineering table from excel to your word document, use the landscape layout, and be creative (you use the table design, under table tools).
