Identify costs through yield testing
Students need to be able to identify the true cost of every serve.
1 kilo of diced goat meat will give how many serves?
When the meat is cooked and served; how is the meat served?
• When a curry is produced do you count the pieces of meat that go onto the plate
• Are they all the same size
• How many pieces of meat are in the kilo that has been used?
• How many serves from the diced meat?
Divide the cost of the meat by the number of serves and you have the yield cost for the meat; not necessarily the cost of the menu item.
• All ingredients used must be noted.
