Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) Practice Exam

A selective menu offers a significant advantage by providing a variety of options for clients to choose from. This flexibility caters to individual preferences and dietary needs, allowing diners to select meals that align with their tastes, nutritional requirements, or any restrictions they may have. This customization enhances the dining experience, making it more enjoyable and satisfying for patrons.

Other options, while they may present some benefits, do not capture the key advantage of a selective menu. For example, offering no changes from the standard menu would lead to a lack of variety and personalization, which is not conducive to meeting diverse dietary needs. Simplifying meal planning for kitchen staff is a benefit typically associated with less flexible menus, not a selective approach. Similarly, while a selective menu can help manage food waste through better match-ups of meals to diner’s preferences, it does not inherently guarantee a significant reduction in waste compared to other strategies, such as careful forecasting or menu design focused on sustainability.
