Restaurants Menu Designing menu is crucial, critical and creative. Presentation matters. The nicer you present the more customers will like. Following are some guide on designing menu:   Cover Page: Customers put their eyes first on the cover page of the menu. It should be well designed that attract customers to open the full menu and order drink and food.   Bold: Everyone wants an easy life. Restaurants can bold some of the drinks, starters, main courses on their so that the customers can easily choose and order them. Here, restaurants should bold the standard, satisfactory and reasonable pricy foods so that the foods become delicious on their tongue, full their tummy and reasonable for their pocket.   Photography: Put some photographs of the food on the menu. The photos should be brilliant, often be taken by the professional cameraman. Pound sign: Our currency is Pound. So, the price mentioned on the menu is on pound. It is needless to put the pound (£) sign with the price. It is understandable that the value is on British Pound.   Food Ingredients: Our country (UK) is a multi-cultured country and we so proud of it. Its interesting customers can have the food of any country on earth in the UK, especially in London and major cities. By the name of the food customers may not understand about the food. So, it is better to explain what ingredients the food has. It could also help in deciding what food to order, especially who has some religious beliefs.   Language: Menu could be multi lingual. Restaurants may be focused particularly one specific lingual customers. Menu could be written in English and that language. It helps that group of customers to understand the food and placing an order.   Sections: Menu should have drinks, starters, main course and desserts sections. It is wise to mention which foods are suitable for vegetarians (V), Halal (H), Kosher (K). If it is hot (Chilly) or not. Especially allergy information should be mentioned. Deals: Restaurants should have mentioned if there is any deal, set menu, Chef’s special, or buffet at a fixed price. These should be very clear with the items of food, days, time, price etc to avoid any confusion from customers’ side.

Characteristics of Chefs


Characteristics of Chefs A Chef must have the Knowledge of food Customers rely upon and trust a Chef for the preparation and cooking of their food. Unless chefs have knowledge of the food, they would not be able to produce the food of customer's choice. The food must be delicious and testy. Moreover it has to be healthy. A Chef must have the knowledge of Hygiene Customers do not know  the how hygienic the food is and how clean the chef and kitchen are. So, a Chef must be highly clean and prepare the food hygienically. They wear clean chef uniform so that any part of their body does not come in touch with the food. Visit www.brentlinenhire.co.uk for more information. A Chef must have the Knowledge of Health and Safety Chefs are always in the kitchen cooking food in the oven and they come closer to fire. The oven has fire, the pans and pots are very hot. Any of these things can burn their body. They must make sure that they wear chef uniform, know the fire exit, and always follow the safety rules. More information could be found www.brentlinenhire.co.uk who offers Chefs' Uniforms (Like chef jacket, apron, trousers, kitchen clothes, hats etc) and launder them for the chef in London. A Chef must know about the equipment Chefs use lots of equipment like oven, tandoor oven, micro oven, fridge, dish washer, Pots, pans, spoons. Tandoor oven is very dangerous. Chef cooks lots of food at the same time to meet customers' demand. He must know how to operate those equipment to cook food safely and nicely. A Chef must work in a team People working in the kitchen must work in a team and be helpful to each other colleagues. A chef cannot cook or prepare all foods for the customer as there could be starter, bread, main course etc. Chef can do certain things and they rest must be done by the other colleagues. So they must be helpful to each other. Many thanks Firoz www.brentlinenhire.co.uk
