Specifically designed for those working in the hospitality industry, the course develops your core knowledge and understanding of the menu design and development process. Within this, you will identify opportunities to make financial savings and consider how to make the most of the resources available to you.

During these particularly challenging times, having the right menu is key to improving the likelihood of repeat custom for your business. With increasingly knowledgeable consumers, ensuring guests expectations are met requires frequent review, evaluation and development of the menu items offered. Many chefs will develop innovative signature dishes to help make themselves and their business distinctive.

In this short course you will develop an understanding of the complex factors to be taken into consideration when designing new menus, including new product development, anchor points, effective costing and sustainability. You will then apply your learning in the creation of a menu for your own workplace.  You will also learn how to critically evaluate the success of the menu.

On successful completion of the course, you will be able to:

• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of key techniques in the menu development process
• Recognize how to reduce costs and maximise the resources available to you
• Systematically evaluate the development of new menus and apply to your own workplace
