Aim of Unit 26 Planning and Managing Food Production and Beverage Service

This unit would help the learners to understand basic requirements within food services so as to acquire a dynamic environment. Planning and Managing would also help the learners to develop skills in analysing and producing quality food and beverage planning. The learners would be able to identify the need to increase the quality of food and beverage services in terms of production and delivery. Additionally, this unit would foster management skills within the learners to implement the same in their practical experiences by complying with the objectives of the industry. Thus, this unit would help in the development of tools that are required by the learners across a range of situations and settings.

Learning outcomes of Planning and Managing

1 Understand different systems and equipment used for the volume of food production and beverage delivery in different contexts

2 Understand purchasing management for materials, commodities, beverages and equipment

3 Be able to produce and critically assess food and beverage preparation plans

4 Understand food quality control processes and policies for volume food production

LO1 Understand different systems and equipment used for the volume of food production and beverage delivery in different contexts

This section would help the learners to acquire knowledge about the different equipment and systems used for measuring the volume of production and delivery of food and beverage service. The determination of systems includes manufacturing, cook-to-order, batch centralised, multi-portion, operation management, and technological aspects. Apart from this, an understanding of several pieces of equipment that could be used in food and beverage services is also enclosed. The learners would also acquire knowledge of providing food and beverage services in different contexts.

LO2 Understand purchasing management for materials, commodities, beverages and equipment

In this section, the learners would acquire an understanding of factors responsible for managing the purchasing of materials, beverages, commodities and equipment. They would understand the role of suppliers in purchasing management and their implications on the organisation. This section would also provide a brief knowledge on factors impacting the choice of suppliers. Further, an understanding of the importance of the standard of products while purchasing would also be covered.

LO3 Be able to produce and critically assess food and beverage preparation plans

This section would help the learners to acquire an understanding of the critical assessment of preparation of food and beverage plan. This incorporates an understanding of the plan with respect to staffing and resources issues. They would also understand the methodologies and strategies that could be used for preparation of the plan. This section would further help the learners to identify the requirement of control systems and their implication on the planning.

LO4 Understand food quality control processes and policies for volume food production

In this section, the learners would acquire an insight into the process of quality control in the preparation of the menu plan. The quality control procedures consider an assessment of quality in storage, receipt, production, preparation, distribution and applications of technologies. Moreover, the learners would also acquire an idea of the policies they are required to comply with such as hazard analysis (HACCP), risk assessment (HASAWA) and assurance to safe catering (ASC).
