In our Culinary Management course, we explore the structure, data, formulas, and application of the Menu Engineering Worksheet. The video provides a detailed explanation of each step of using and understanding the Menu Engineering spreadsheet in Excel.

We review the meaning of each section. We look at what cell values mean or relate to, and how to calculate them. As with many spreadsheets, the amount of information contained in a spreadsheet can initially seem overwhelming. Follow me as I walk you through the spreadsheet and suggest a simple way to make intimidating spreadsheets easier to view.

After watching the video, I am confident that you will know how to use this simple but powerful tool to make changes and improve the performance of your restaurant's menu.

Menu engineering offers so much power for effective menu analysis. This allows us to make informed decisions about menu changes and improve the efficiency of running a restaurant.
