by volume), only weighs 4 oz. Weigh is a more accurate
measurement than volume.
Different amounts can affect the quantity and quality of a
product and change the nutritional content.
36. LIMITATIONS OF STANDARD RECIPE.
Ingredient substitutions
Employee experience and training is required
Equipment and facilities
Financial constraints
Learning the rules.
Breaking the rules.

profit you make on your sales. If your food cost is too
high, you will struggle to make a profit and keep your
business afloat, if it’s too low you may be turning off
customers with high prices. While other costs may be
less flexible (like labor costs and fixed costs) food costing
needs to be compatible with your actual sales.
