Slide Content

THE MENU The term “menu” has at least three meaning for the waiter. Menu means; the range of food items served in an establishment, including their organization into a number of courses the arrangement by which the items are offered (the type of menu, as in “set menu”, “a’ la carte menu”, etc.), and the physical object on which the list of these items (and courses) is written for guest to choose from.

The structure of the menu The traditional French menu or “classic menu” had more than 12 courses. It offered the diner a wide variety of items served in a well-understood traditional sequence. Modern menus have fewer courses, but they may causes confusion as to the appropriate sequence of service. Menus are laid out so that the different courses appear in the order would normally be served. They usually presented in a framework of five courses, as follows; appetizers soups salads/entrées main courses desserts

TYPES OF MENU The different types or classes of menu are distinguished by the variations in the selections offered and by their pricing structure. Menu types includes: a la carte table d hôte set menu carte du jour cycle menu special party menus.

A la carte menu An a la carte menu offers choices in each course and where each item is individually priced and charged for. Menu items when selected by the guests are cooked to order. The literal meaning of the French word a la carte is “from the card”.

Table d’hote A table d’ hote menu offers some (usually limited) choice and is charged at a fixed price per person for the whole menu. Table d’ hote is, literally, French for the proprietor’s (main host) table A modestly priced “business lunch”, in which three or four items only are offered in each course and the guest pays a fixed price for the whole meal, would be a typical use of the table d’ hote menu.

Set menu A set menu is one that offers set items (one for each course) pre arrangement by the host. Set menus are used mainly for functions, such as weddings and banquets.

Carte du jour Carte du jour literally means “card of the day”. It offers choices that are available for a particular day only. It allows the chef to offer a list of “specials” or variations in addition to pre-printed a la carte menu, or it can be used as a table d’ hote menu prepared for use on the one day only.

Cycle menu A cycle menu is a group of menus that are rotated on a set cycle. Cycle menus are usually used in the institutional sector of the industry- for example, in hospitals and prisons, on airlines and in employee foodservice operations. The cycle menu is used to avoid boredom for both customer and staff, and also to ensure that the diet of the people in the institution is sufficiently varied to be healthy. Menus should not be designed to a seven day cycle on the same day of the week, producing a boring predictability.

Special party menu These are menus for banquets and parties of all kinds like birthday, wedding receptions, anniversaries, debuts and conventions.
