These standards are set so that quality standards and developing standard purchasing specifications ensure all foods purchased will be desired to what you ordered. There are also standards set for quantity foods are divided into two categories, perishable and non-perishable. With the perishable food we order enough to last us until our next order day because we don’t want to waste anything or let anything go bad. Non-perishable foods can be order in a larger quantity because they can be kept longer on the shelf and not go bad as soon. When they order the food we have standards set for pricing. We need to buy the proper quality of food for our restaurant based off of price. I have a small little bistro that will not need high quality expensive food because we will never make the money back therefore we won’t be making a profit. Purchasing for the restaurant includes a lot of training. The head chef who has to do all the purchasing was trained in ways to obtain price quotations, they were trained that they could receive them by internet/email, telephone, quotation sheets by email, salespersons, and direct computer links. The chef also needed to be trained how to reorder quantity of foods.

Continuing with a food retailer, Greggs or a restaurant will want to get fresher ingredients than other retailers so that they can make sure they produce all of their products to be as fresh as can be. This can be done for example by Gregg’s own in-store bakeries having their ingredients delivered in the morning and then they bake them the same morning to make sure they are as fresh as possible. When they order the ingredients from the producers they will have to check that the supplier is storing the produce correctly before purchasing, otherwise they may purchase products that could be unsuitable for them to use and if they did use them, could create problems for them in the future. A good example of this could be

A food label must include the product name, list of ingredients, shelf life, storage instructions, instructions for use, weight of the product, country of origin and the name and address of the manufacturer.

The pricing of food and menu design at a restaurant is crucial because it can determine whether the restaurant is profitable or not. Creating a restaurant menu is difficult and sometimes hard to understand. Food cost and portion size play a big role in designing the menu. Food cost refers to the menu price of a dish in comparison to the cost of the food used to prepare that same dish (Mealey). Sometimes it seems as though restaurants charge a lot more than necessary, but in reality, we are paying for them to prepare the food, serve the food, and clean up after. The food market fluctuates daily, so it is important to have items with stable prices to maintain the desired food cost. The food prices at Ninfa’s were a bit high, but reasonable for
Results-based monitoring and evaluation is a set of concepts associated with performance management or results based management (RBM) strategy, which evolved in 1990’s.

Central feature to most of those reforms has been an emphasis on ‘performance improvement’ and ‘achievement of targeted/expected results’ which were the core features of RBM. RBM has been used by many development agencies, governments, and donor agencies in delivering development interventions and has become an emerging trend in contemporary development practice.
