The Menumark software accesses an individualised
database of commodity details and recipes to carry out a wide
range of costing and control functions. Transaction files hold
details of activities on a day-to-day basis. The hospital's own
recipes and menus are used to produce costings, recipes and ingredient
lists for any combination of dishes from the database. A multi-locational
stock control system yields details of transfers, consumption,
expenditure and stockholding for every commodity and recipe item
used. A range of standard and individual printouts based upon
a series of audit trails gives management a full analysis of catering
performance over any time period. A comprehensive range of maintenance
programs helps operators to modify database details in a simple
and straightforward manner.
