Which of the following describes a static menu?

A rotating menu that changes weekly
A menu that varies by season
A fixed menu that doesn't change
A menu with chef specials offered daily

The correct answer is: A fixed menu that doesn't change

A static menu is one that is fixed and does not change over a specific period. This means the same items are available every day, allowing customers to have consistent options to choose from whenever they visit. This type of menu is beneficial in settings where predictability and familiarity are important to the clientele, such as in certain restaurants, healthcare facilities, or schools. Static menus can streamline inventory management and allow staff to become proficient in preparing and serving the same items consistently. Customers appreciate knowing exactly what they can expect to order each time they visit, which can enhance their dining experience. In contrast, menus that rotate weekly or change by season introduce variety and can cater to seasonal ingredients and trends, while daily specials provide new options but lack the consistency of a static menu.
