Preface
Food for Fifty is written for faculty and students to use as a resource in food production and food
management courses. The resource nature of Food for Fifty implies the text can be adapted for a
wide range of applications. This Instructor’s Guide includes learning activities and classroom
assignments that will highlight Food for Fifty’s usefulness as a valuable foodservice management
resource.
The Instructor’s Guide suggests assignments that will challenge students to apply information from
Part I (Introduction to Quantity Foodservice and Serving Food in Quantity), Parts II and III (Food
Production Tables; Foods and Food Production), Part IV (Recipes), and Appendix. Instructors will
find the assignment suggestions appropriate for designing multi-step projects suitable for homework
and for in-class discussion and problem solving activities.
Multiple choice, short answer, and problem-based questions have been written to aid instructors
with test preparation. A key is included. We hope this Instructor’s Guide will provide information
useful for designing meaningful classroom assignments and for developing test questions linked
specifically to the information in Food for Fifty.
About the Author
The Instructor’s Guide for Food for Fifty was prepared by Mary K. Molt, PhD, RD, LD. Mary is

food production system that has resulted from any changes that were made.
[Resource: Food for Fifty, Table 1.1, p. 3]
▸ Interview a foodservice administrator from two different foodservice segments. In a short 2-5
page paper compare and contrast the foodservice challenges they have experienced in the last 12
months and the strategies for responding to the challenges faced. [Resource: Food for Fifty, Tables
1.1 and 1.2, pp. 3, 4]
▸ Select (or have assigned) one challenge from Table 1.1, p. 3. Based on information from a
literature review and/or interviews with foodservice administrators, write a short paper (5-7 pages)
that discusses the impact the challenge has made on the foodservice industry. Present information
in a five minute oral class report.
[Resource: Food for Fifty, Table 1.1, p. 3.
▸ Based on information from internet research, field trips/interviews, trade magazines, National
Restaurant Association publications, etc., describe the differences/similarities between foodservice
establishments from each foodservice segment (commercial, noncommercial or on-site, and
military). Include items as differences/similarities in menus, pricing, mission, philosophy, labor,
volume, etc.
[Resource: Food for Fifty, Table 1.2, p. 4, Appendix B, p. 884]
▸ Review menus that represent both the on-site and commercial segments of the foodservice
industry. Write a short (3-5 page) paper that compares and contrasts a.) menus, b.) equipment
requirements needed to produce the menu, and c.) skill level of production staff.
[Resource: Food for Fifty, Table 1.2, p. 4; p. 28; Table 7.22 p. 209).
▸ Understanding customers wants and needs is important to good menu planning. In small groups
discuss how the information in Figures 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 (p. 30, 31) and Table 3.3 (p. 34) could be used
when writing and evaluating menus. What strategies could be used to learn about the eating
preferences of customers?

commercial pans and equipment and for quantity procedures, similar to Food for
Fifty recipes. Use measurements for dry and liquid ingredients similar to Food for
Fifty recipes.
Step #2 Extend the recipe to 50 (8 oz) servings (use either percentage or factor method).
Step #3 What decisions/assumptions were necessary to make while completing this problem?
What recipe changes might you expect to make during/after your first quantity test?
Make the following changes to the recipe:
1. Substitute cooked chicken meat (boneless) for the chicken drumsticks.
2. Add soup base to replace flavor loss resulting from not making chicken stock.
