Discussion topic:

If there is an issue that impacts the root of a product or any of the processes between the product you need and its root, the availability and the price of the product will be impacted. , you will choose an item on your menu and explore the roots of supply for a product required to make and serve that item. You will also identify situations that could impact the availability of the product.

Instructions:

1. write a post in which you describe a menu item (on your own operation's menu or a menu of your choice). Be as specific as possible. Note, for example, fresh Roma tomatoes are a different product than a can of crushed Roma tomatoes. Include where the products are grown, produced, packaged, and how they are delivered.
2. Describe the path to the product's roots. (Consider there may be more than one root for a product.)
3. Review one other student's post and write a reply that describes a situation that would put the product's availability at risk (e.g., a drought impacting a specific crop or the number of honey bees impacted by pesticides).
4. Once you have a reply to your initial post, write a response that describes what you would do to ensure both guest satisfaction and cost control related to the menu item if the risk became a reality.
