Menu planners can determine the portion size to provide and need to have the right tool. If 1/4 c. is the portion size, then a # 16 scoop or spoodle can be provided that measures 1/4 cup. Students can be charged appropriately for each serving they take. Some foodservice operators will have higher-cost items such as cheese pre-portioned into small soufflé cups, and students can select these from a salad bar, instead of “serving” themselves.
