Managing premium beef in foodservice: menu, portion weights and yield loss
This guide focuses on turning a good cut into a repeatable service: defining portion weights, monitoring yield loss, protecting recipe costing, and coordinating kitchen and front of house. For supplier evaluation, see the main professional guide.
Turning the product into a consistent service
Recipe costing
Calculate cost per portion using edible weight, trimming, garnish and the real variation between cuts.
Portion weights
Define workable ranges and a kitchen response when a cut falls outside the target.
Yield loss
Record trimming, fat, bone and cooking loss rather than confusing purchased weight with usable yield.
Pass and front of house
Align doneness, resting, slicing, the explanation to guests and expectation management.
