Modern Foodservice Purchasing combines the requisite information on foodservice purchasing and storeroom operations, along with financial stewardship. This comprehensive resource brings the four most important foundations in foodservice purchasing under one cover: market and distribution systems, storeroom operations, cost controls and comprehensive product information. In addition, this book covers present-day issues like theft and security, legal and regulatory compliance, and scientific applications like aquaculture and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This text is packed with useful charts and color photos of the most frequently used products in foodservice. Perfect for use by chefs and culinary educators alike, it's a must have for any serious culinary professional's personal library.

This is a specialized manual for industry insiders, not home cooks or casual food enthusiasts. It lacks narrative flair or recipe development, focusing instead on procurement, inventory, and legal frameworks. Readers seeking inspiration or simple meal plans will find it dry and overly technical. However, for culinary educators and professionals aiming to understand the economics of foodservice, its comprehensive coverage of distribution systems and scientific applications is invaluable. It serves as a necessary reference for maintaining financial stewardship in commercial settings.
