Which of the following is not an advantage of a cycle menu?

Increases variety in meals
Facilitates staff scheduling
Allows easier forecasting and purchasing of food
Maximizes equipment use

The correct answer is: Increases variety in meals

A cycle menu is designed to provide a structured variety of meals over a set period, which helps to ensure that guests or patients receive a balanced diet over time. However, while a cycle menu may include varied meals throughout its duration, its primary goal is not necessarily to increase variety compared to an à la carte menu or one-time menus. Options that do highlight the advantages of a cycle menu include facilitating staff scheduling by providing predictability in meal preparation, allowing easier forecasting and purchasing of food due to consistent meal planning, and maximizing equipment use by scheduling cooking based on a known menu. Thus, increasing variety is not a specific advantage of a cycle menu; rather, it is more about consistency and efficiency.
