Purchase for the required result
Compare Menu fact sheet, Image permissions, Design/export tool by specification, compatibility and buying checks, before comparing prices.
This is a planning reference for restaurant menu promotion. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional menu promotion MEN-22 packages six approved lunch dishes for one café into six square social cards and one downloadable menu. Sample copy: 'Beans and rice — one lunch portion; collection from [branch], [verified hours]. Ask staff about ingredients before ordering.' Prices, dish contents and availability come from a dated manager-approved sheet; no fictional price is published as an offer. Photography, delivery fulfilment, food-safety advice, paid ads and inbox coverage are excluded.
The resource brief to send for quotations
| Resource | Required variant or quantity | Inspection or document check |
|---|---|---|
| Menu fact sheet | Six dishes with portion and dated manager approval. | Do not accept a handwritten price edit without confirming whether it replaces or supplements the prior price. |
| Image permissions | Six owner-supplied dish photos or separately licensed accurate images. | Check actual dish match and any visible person's permission. |
| Design/export tool | Editable source plus PDF and agreed image dimensions. | Open exported PDF on a phone and check text remains selectable and readable. |
Use the delivery checkpoints to check suitability
| Planning stage | Acceptance evidence to agree |
|---|---|
| Make one source menu | Manager signs the date/version; the six cards cannot draw prices from an older printed menu. |
| Choose honest images | Reject stock pictures that imply garnish or quantity the café does not supply. |
| Write ordering instructions | Test the phone/link and ask staff how an unavailable dish should be handled. |
| Proof six cards together | A long dish name does not hide price or ordering information; colour does not carry meaning alone. |
| Approve and release | Archive outdated files and report any later menu change before rescheduling a card. |
Compare like with like
Request the same specification, unit/pack size, usable quantity, destination, lead time and support terms from each supplier. Keep an unmatched lower-priced variant separate. A supplier’s photograph, headline price or description does not establish that the delivered item fits this order.
Goods received record
| Field | What to enter for this offer |
|---|---|
| Quote and delivery reference | Exact supplier quote and date, plus the receiving document |
| Item match | Do not accept a handwritten price edit without confirming whether it replaces or supplements the prior price. |
| Quantity and condition | Count or measure the actual received lot; keep mismatches separate |
| Release decision | Archive outdated files and report any later menu change before rescheduling a card. |
| Unresolved evidence | No menu prices, ingredient statements or stock availability verified for a real café. |
Do not use an item with an unresolved suitability question for work that depends on that question. Obtain the relevant competent assessment rather than treating this checklist as technical approval.
