Self-operation
|
A foodservice industry operating practice- managed by an employee of the company in which that foodservice operation is located; manager has full responsibility and authority for all functions within the department and reports to an administrator employed by this same company.
|
|
Contract Foodservice
|
A foodservice industry operating practice- an agreement between two or more persons to do or not to do something; contractors are expected to provide foodservice options that will satisfy the customers and provide revenue for the organization; in some organizations, the contract company is hired only to provide management services; organization pays a fee for these management services (management personnel employees of contract company, but all other employees are employed by the organization).

|
What are the four main categories of sustainability practices?
|
1. Built environment (building design- using sustainable building materials, using LEED guidelines for renovation of existing buildings). 2. Water, ecosystems, and agriculture (not allowing water to run in sinks, repairing dripping faucets, selecting WaterSense products, using sustainably grown foods, using local foods, selecting low VOC products, filtering air). 3. Energy and the environment (purchasing Energy Star equipment, having sensors on light switches to ensure lights are not left on in empty work spaces). 4. Materials and toxins (recycling products such as paper, plastic, aluminum, grease, using a pulper to reduce volume of trash, donating leftover foods to area shelters, using biodegradable single-use items, using nontoxic cleaning chemicals.

|
Where does sustainability fit into the systems model?
|
Sustainability efforts in foodservice operations occur as inputs, controls, and in all of the functional subsystems of the transformation process, all leading to more sustainable outputs.
|
|
Conventional
|
dominant type of foodservice systems operation; foods made mainly from scratch or partially from scratch; food prepared and served in adjacent areas; time span is short; minimal holding; buy mainly raw ingredients; skilled labor and good quality equipment needed
|
|
Ready Prepared
|
a foodservice systems operation; cook-chill (food brought down to fridge temp), cook-freeze (food brought down to frozen state); food prepared in advance, in large quantities, reduced amount of labor (only prepare food on some days); need special equipment; holding equipment needed- blast freezers, tumble chillers; have to have a place to hold food- larger freezer capacities; must have method to bring temp back up quickly (retherming) w/o hurting quality; with big facility, distance b/t food production, assembly, and service can be big; ready prepared keeps food quality and safety intact
|
|
Commissary
|
a foodservice systems operation; produces food in large quantities to transport and serve at a different site; long period of time; long distance; different equipment used (rotating ovens, vats for soup, tumble chillers); buy ingredients in bulk to make items cheaper; places that receive items will not need expensive equipment or skilled labor to prepare the foods
|
|
Assembly/serve

a foodservice systems operation; foods require minimum cooking; products brought into operation w/ a maximum degree of processing; requires little skilled labor, little equipment
|
|
System
|
a collection of interrelated parts or subsystems that work together to achieve a common goal.
|
|
Inputs
|
: any human, physical, or operational resource required to accomplish objectives of the system; human labor (skill), materials (food supplies), facilities (space, equipment), operational (money, time, utilities, information)
|
|
Outputs
|
the result from transforming the input; represents achievement of the system’s goal; quantity, quality, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, financial accountability
|
|
Transformation
|
any action or activity used in changing input into output
|
|
Control
|
ensures resources are used effectively and efficiently in accomplishing organizational objectives; ensures that the organization is functioning within legal and regulatory constraints, and provides standards to be used in evaluation of operations; monitoring; plans- standing and single use, goals and objectives, standards, policies and procedures, programs, contracts, laws and regulations (local, state, federal)
|
|
Feedback
|
processes by which a system continually receives information from its internal and external environment; from customers about the outputs, from employees
|
|
Memory
|
all stored information; provides historical records of a system’s operations; records, documentation
|
|
Environmental Factors
|
things outside the system that can impact the operation of the system; technological innovation, globalization, competition, changing demographics, political changes; how you get your food (procurement), economy, competition
|
|
Commercial (for profit)
|
a classification of food servicefoodservice operations involve primarily the sale of food and desire to make a profit from that food. They are traditionally driven by competition, historically catered to customers who had a choice where to eat, and involve restaurants and fast food.
|
|
Onsite (nonprofit)
|
a classification of foodservice; foodservice operations do not have the primary goal to sell food and are not driven by profit. Historically involves customers who do not have a choice where to eat- schools, cafeterias at worksites, hospitals, colleges, universities, correctional facilities, and military operations.
