hotels, with practically no changes in their menus
from day to day. They are open to the same criticism
as are the cafeterias that serve everything in the market
at every meal, and so make their menu monotonous.
Smaller tea rooms offer limited choices, — soups, rel-
ishes, hot dishes, vegetables, salads, breads and bev-
erages. To add choices to a menu beyond the num-
ber which will satisfy the patrons is not economy.
The longer the menu list, the more labor, equipment,
food wastage and spoilage. Therefore the tea-room menu
list should be as simple as is consistent with the demands
of those to be served. The menus shown below are of
the type which are changed from day to day. The
first is a very good example of this type, embodying
a moderate degree of choice. It is suitable for a tea
room serving perhaps six hundred or more people daily.
