With the time to feed a person/party diminished by using convenience food (shorter waiting times), an operation has potential of greater revenues due to the ability to turnover more covers, faster. Also, cost control per portion appears a lot easier to attain when using convenience products (Dopson and Haynes, 2011), as culinary skilled interventions required under these circumstances are minimal, if at all existent. These are all critical issues in a food- service operation.
