Offer vs. Serve

Nov. 08, 2011

I use fake food to demonstrate offer versus serve. I have the staff figure out reimbursable meals with an actual food production record and have fake food and lunch trays available to set them up. I ask staff to try to make up trays that look reimbursable but actually are not.
