Reflective Writing of FSM4503 (3)

[Homework]

In the class today, we were required to update about our progression on GOMC project. Some of the groups have already found a foodservice company to corporate with but my group have not found one yet. We had sent a message to the Facebook of myBurgerLab, but we have not got any reply yet. It is kind of sad. Anyway, we still have to move forward. Therefore, I have tried to search for some other special cafes or restaurants who owned their own websites. For example, The Big Mouth which is selling burgers too. I hope that we can contact with a foodservice company as soon as possible so that we can start our project soon! Moreover, we had registered our group as a team to participate in GOMC project with the group name - Flowers & Grass. LOL! It is because we have 4 ladies as the flowers and a gentleman as the grass in our group! Let us try our best in completing this GOMC!

After we had registered our group, Dr Fareed, our lecturer proceeded the class by giving us a task to complete which is the Menu Cost Calculator using Excel. We were required to choose a food that we prefer and calculate the food cost by the Menu Cost Calculator. So, I chose Glutinous Rice Balls (Tang Yuan) as my food. The food ingredients were listed and calculated by unit used on the calculator. The steps in preparing the Glutinous Rice Ball was written in the calculator as well. Finally, the cost of the Glutinous Rice Balls was calculated. 


Thanks Dr Fareed for preparing this Excel sheet to simplify us in calculating the menu cost. It might be useful in the restaurant during menu planning.
