Welcome

After a Menu is planned, priced & presented, it should be analysed to see if it meets the needs of the guests and owner. The menu cannot be considered "final". It is necessary to see if menu items are selling and profitable.. Two Methods are covered here: The "Classical" Menu Analysis and the "Hurst" Menu Analysis.
