· The three listed in the Scenario below.
· One recipe highlighted by wait staff in Role Play 2.
To do this you are required to:

Context of assessment
During the assessment, the assessor will review your submissions and make notes on the Project Checklist.
You are advised to review this checklist to check your understanding of what the assessor will be looking for when they review your submission.

Scenario
As Manager of the facility who has already conducted feedback sessions with staff on the performance of the twelve new recipes you introduced, you feel it is time to assess the recipes further and take action to revise them so optimum performance is achieved.
To supplement your data, you have extracted sales data from the venue’s system that shows for the menus and dishes you are focusing on as the basis for revisions:
· One recipe (to be identified by you) has proven to have a food cost percentage of 43.7% for the month.
· One recipe (to be identified by you) has sold only 2 serves over the month being considered.
· One recipe (to be identified by you) has proved extremely popular selling 673 serves with a food cost percentage of 28.9%.
Now to convert all this lovely information into new and improved recipes!
