Chapter III: Types of Menus

CAFETERIA MENUS

Though it may be necessary to offer slightly more choice in foods in the commercial cafeteria, some cafeterias offer such a wide variety of choice that the patron is confused and has difficulty in choosing his meal. Furthermore too much variety makes for sameness from day to day. In all cafeterias where the same group is served each day, and where there is little or no competition, a simpler menu may be used. The following menu outline is suggested for use in the average cafeteria.

A Standard Form for Cafeteria Menu

1 soup
2 meats
(1 meat substitute)
1 kind of potatoes
2-3 vegetables
1-2 hot breads
1-2 sandwiches
2-3 salads
2-3 relishes
6-8 desserts
4 beverages

_Meats_

One inexpensive meat should be served in each meal.

Two made-over meats should not be served in the same meal.

Two kinds of beef or pork or two kinds of any other variety of meat
should not be served in the same meal.

_Potatoes_

Creamed potatoes may be served with meat lacking gravy or sauce.

It is seldom advisable to serve mashed potatoes unless there is a
meat gravy to offer with them.

_Vegetables_

When possible one vegetable should be starchy and one should be
succulent.

Two creamed or two fried or two buttered vegetables should not be
served in the same meal.

_Breads_

Raised breads and quick breads give a good variety.

_Salads_

There should be at least one inexpensive salad.

The variety in salads may consist of one fruit salad, one vegetable
salad and one salad in which protein predominates, such as cottage
cheese, meat or fish.

Head lettuce salad is universally popular and may appear at every
meal.

In salad dressings, there should always be a cooked dressing,
French dressing and mayonnaise. Other varieties may be added as
desired.

_Desserts_

Variety in desserts includes:

Fruit in some form.
A pudding with a dough or bread foundation.
Two cold puddings.
One kind of ice cream.
One kind of cake.
One kind of pie.

One-crust and two-crust pies should so far as possible be
alternated in successive menus.

Two or more kinds of pie may be demanded, but when possible patrons
should be educated to other choices in desserts.

_Beverages_

Milk should be served in bottles (with provision for opening).

Thirty Days' Menus for a Cafeteria

The careful manager spends a great deal of time in menu planning. If some systematic method of menu making can be adopted and used with a mind constantly alert to seasonal changes in foods, new and attractive dishes and variety in serving, the plan may result in saving much of this time.

A set of menus for thirty days has been worked out, with the idea that they may be repeated at the end of that time without too monotonous repetition. No Sunday meals are included since the majority of cafeterias are closed on that day. The Friday menus occur on the fifth day and every sixth day thereafter. No menu is shown for Saturday night when, if a meal is served, it may consist of popular dishes such as chicken in some form, waffles or steaks, along with such left-overs as it may be desirable to use.

The menus are intended to serve as a _foundation_ to which may be added new dishes and seasonable fruits and vegetables, a suggestive list of which is given elsewhere (see pages 57-59). From these foundation menus may be eliminated such dishes as are unpopular or out of season, or which for any reason it is impractical to serve. Commercial cafeterias may find it necessary to add other choices to these menus. Very small cafeterias may offer fewer choices. The majority of establishments, however, will find this variety ample, the idea being to serve the maximum variety within the week rather than within the day or meal.

A star has been used to indicate those dishes in which left-overs may be used to particular advantage.

TEA-ROOM MENUS

The tea-room menu is characterized by daintiness and excellence in food, garnish and service. Large tea rooms serve a variety such as is found in large hotels, with practically no changes in their menus from day to day. They are open to the same criticism as are the cafeterias that serve everything in the market at every meal, and so make their menu monotonous. Smaller tea rooms offer limited choices,--soups, relishes, hot dishes, vegetables, salads, breads and beverages. To add choices to a menu beyond the number which will satisfy the patrons is not economy. The longer the menu list, the more labor, equipment, food wastage and spoilage. Therefore the tea-room menu list should be as simple as is consistent with the demands of those to be served. The menus shown below are of the type which are changed from day to day. The first is a very good example of this type, embodying a moderate degree of choice. It is suitable for a tea room serving perhaps six hundred or more people daily.
