10:1 Db food

The HR department is charged with creating, implementing, and enforcing fair labor laws and policies. Laws that impact foodservice systems include compensation and wages, hours and schedules of work, security and employment, and employment benefits and services.

Human Resources screens candidates through an automated system and/or in person and usually pass along the final candidates to the prospective managers to whom the position will report. Therefore, it is critical that food and beverage service managers understand the legalities to be considered when conducting an interview with a potential hire.

Topic 1: Hiring for the Position

Scenario (fictitious): A five star Chinese restaurant in Manhattan previously only open for dinner, has experienced considerable growth in the last six months and they have decided to expand their operation by opening for lunch Monday through Friday from 11:00 am to 2:00pm. This will increase production in the kitchen which makes it necessary to add to the staff.

The recruiter has selected the final two candidates to become sous chef. Now you as Chef must conduct the final interviews. Do some research out on the Internet and respond to the questions.

  • What questions might you ask?
  • What questions would not be legal?
  • What specific questions might delineate between a good candidate and the perfect candidate?

unit 9 DB food

Effective money management begins with a comparison of the actual money spent versus what is in the budget. The budget process is a series of steps if followed, will produce an equitable distribution of the company’s revenue and expenses. A foodservice budget has factors that should be considered such as food costs, salaries, equipment, maintenance, utility services and taxes. The budget should be completed in advance of the first fiscal billing cycle.

2. Audie Murphy Apparel (AMA) produces patriotic shirts in three colors: red, blue, and white. The monthly demand for each color is 3,000 units. Each shirt requires 1/2 pound of raw cotton. The cotton costs AMA $2.70 per pound. The transportation time from the supplier to AMA is 2 weeks. It costs AMA $100 to place each order and the annual holding cost percentage for AMA is 20 percent of the cost per pound.

Optimal order quantity _____ pounds

b. How many orders will AMA place during the next year? Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places (e.g., $18.61) and your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 108.37 times).

Number of orders ______

c. How frequently should the company order cotton? This is sometimes called the time between orders (TBO). Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places (e.g., $18.61) and your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., once every 4.13 months).

Company orders once every ______months

d. Assuming that the first order is needed on April 1, when should AMA place the order?

a. March 15th

b. April 1st

c. April 15th

e. What is the annual holding cost when the optimal quantity (part a) is ordered? Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places (e.g., $18.61) and your answer to the nearest whole number.

f. What is the resulting annual ordering cost when the optimal quantity (part a) is ordered? Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places (e.g., $18.61) and your answer to the nearest whole number.

Annual ordering cost ______

g. If the annual holding cost percentage was only 5 percent, how would it affect the annual number of orders, the optimal order size, and the average inventory?

If the holding cost is lower, then the batch size would be larger/smaller -
Thus, the average inventory would be larger/smaller and
the number of orders would be larger/smaller -

Short answer question:

Mr. Jones needs to send a shipment from China to the United States. His boss asks him to prepare a set of potential crash options for accomplishing this in 5 days, 4 days, 3 days, 2 days, and 1 day. He calls an air transport company and finds out that the shipment can be flown in one day for a cost of $1000. Then he calls an ocean shipping company and finds out that it can be transported in 5 days for a cost of $200. He uses these two numbers to find the slope: it costs $800 more to reach the US 4 days earlier, or $200 per day. Then, he uses the slope to calculate the cost of a 4-day trip ($400), a 3- day trip ($600), and a 2-day trip ($800). What is wrong with Mr. Jones’s approach?

I'm currently interested in 1-dimensional (linear) Sigma Models.

In the theory of 2-Dimensional GLSM, the fields can be viewed as an embedding of the worldsheet in some target Manifold of higher dimension.

Is there a similar, geometrical, interpretation of the 1-dimensional case?

So far i could only find references to superconformal quantum mechanics, where the N-dimensional target space is taken to be N particles. I'm however interested in geometrical insight

See for example Witten's famous "Phases of N=2 Theories in 2 Dimensions", is there an equivalent in 1-Dimension?

  1. Samirah has been appointed by a research institute to investigate what determined the price of automobiles in Ghana in 2019. She collected data on different variables including the price, mileage, repair record, weight and whether the car is a foreign or domestic one. Using Stata econometric software, she fitted a multiple linear regression and reported the following results to her superiors.

unit 7:1 DB Food

Food and beverage managers use various purchasing methods to control inventory, reduce waste, and build vendor relations. The way materials are processed through the operation, including receiving and storage is vitally important not only to the efficient and profitable operation of the eatery, but also for quality control and health reasons.

Topic 1: Receiving and Storage

Proper purchasing, receiving, and storage of food and beverage items is critical to a food and beverage department’s or eateries’ success. In this Discussion, you will apply what you learned in the Learning Activity and Reading to the following scenario and then respond to the questions.

Scenario: Your hotel restaurant is planning a big Thanksgiving dinner for 400 guests that includes many different types of pie all requiring whipped cream. As the Food and Beverage Manager, you inform your vendor 30 days in advance of the event that you will need 10 gallons of cream. Your vendor misunderstands and has 20 gallons in ten 2-gallon containers, delivered 5 days later to a new receiving clerk who stores nine (9) of the 2-gallon containers the cream immediately. The cook sees 1 of the 2-gallon containers on a preparation table about an hour later and proceeds to use a gallon of the cream in his gravy for that night’s meal. He leaves the remainder on the preparation table shouting to his sous chef’s assistant to put the cream away when he can. Two hours later, the assistant stores the remainder in the refrigerator. Note: The cream has an expiration date three and a half weeks from the sending date.

  • What were the problems in this scenario?
  • Who should be responsible to remedy this situation and how should they resolve this problem while still obtaining the required amount of cream?
  • What changes should be instituted going forward?

Assume in a simple example that a change occurs in an economy that produces “Good X” and that there is a decrease in the number of sellers/producers in the economy who make “Good X”. Assume that this is a competitive market, what will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of “Good X”? Use supply and demand analysis to demonstrate your answer and be sure to provide the rationale behind what is happening and also discuss any interesting observations or outcomes. Finally, please give an example from the news of a current event in real life that relates to the economic change affecting “Good X” above and be sure to explain why it relates.

(Note: The magnitude of any supply and/or demand shifts in this example are not specified; you may want to consider the magnitude of any shifts in your analysis).
