Over portioning is unfair to which stakeholder?

Over portioning is unfair to which stakeholder?

• A. Restaurant owners
• B. Guests
• C. Suppliers
• D. Management

Answer: (A)

Portion control and profitability are at play here. Over-portioning increases the amount of food served beyond the standard recipe, raising costs per plate without a corresponding rise in revenue or menu value. The restaurant owner bears those extra costs, shrinking profit margins, so over-portioning is unfair to them. Guests may get more food, which isn’t a penalty for them, but the business-side impact falls on owners who must cover the higher cost. Suppliers and management aren’t the ones directly bearing the lost profit in this scenario.
