Thesecan have considerable impact on the business both in a positive and negative sense.SuppliercommentsCan be gained by the chef if s/he goes into the restaurant after the main courses have beenserved to talk to clients in person. This can be scary initially but also builds rapport with loyalcustomers and can make the restaurant a “home away from home”.ReviewsCan be gained through debriefing sessions at the end of service, sample tastings of newmenu items and managers or staff sitting down as customers to experience the food andservice first hand.InternalfeedbackIs gained by service staff where they ask the guests during service or as they clear whetherthey enjoyed the meal and then relay the information to the kitchen or relevant manager. 29. When evaluating a menu, the following factors can assist to improve food costs and yields: (Please tick the correctanswers) 1. Items with high food costs can also have high food cost percentages.

Evaluating yield management to get a clear indication of the profitability of the individual dishes andthe menu as a whole.2.
