Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze and evaluate the menu served in government offices foodservice by using Kasavana & Smith's Menu-Engineering. Sales and food costs were collected from the daily sales reports for a year from Jan 2 to Dec 31 in 2007. Calculation for menu analysis and customer's data were done by computer using the MS 2003 Excel spreadsheet program and SPSS 12.0 package program. Menu mix% (MM%) and unit contribution margin were used as variables by Kasavana & Smith. Four possible classifications by Menu-Engineering technique were turned out as 'STAR', 'PLOWHORSE', 'PUZZLE', 'DOG'. The main menus served during a year were 128 dishes and about 141 peoples visited this restaurant daily. The mean age of the men was $44.1\;{\pm}\;6.3$, women were $32.7\;{\pm}\;6.4$ and showed that was statistically higher than that of women (p < .0001). The rates of STAR menus were 'Western style (75.0%)', 'guk/tang-ryu (48.1%)', 'jjigae/ jeongol-ryu (23.1%)', 'bap-ryu (17.2%)' in sequence. There were no STAR menus in gui/jorim/jjim-ryu. PLOWHORSE menus were 'gui-ryu (75.0%)', 'guk/tang-ryu (29.6%)', 'bap-ryu (27.6%)' in sequence. There were no PUZZLE or DOG menus in 'jjigae/jeongol-ryu'. PUZZLE menus were 'jorim/jjim-ryu and Myeonryu (each 33.3%)', 'bap-ryu (31.0%)' in sequence. PUZZLE menus were a lots of 'Chinese food (75.0%)' and 'myeonryu (55.6%)'. This study provides the basic data based on regularly menu analysis method applied the scientific menu analysis techniques in government offices food services, I'd like to suggest that the menu management must be done based on the necessity and result of menu analysis according to the seasonal and middle, long-term plans.

본 연구는 D관공서 M 식당의 메뉴관리 및 식재료의 효율적 관리에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고, 나아가 관공소급식소의 메뉴분석방법을 기초로 한 급식관리 필요성을 제시하고자 1982년 Kasavana와 Smith가 개발한 Menu Engineering 기법을 활용하여 2007년 1월부터 12월까지 1년간의 식단을 계절별, 년간 그리고 메뉴군별로 분석을 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) D 관공서는 토요일 휴무기관으로서 2007년도 급식 일수는 248일이었으며, 총 35,193명이 이용하여 1일 평균 이용 인원은 141명으로 나타나 주 고객층의 식당 이용률은 64.0%이었다. 2) M 식당의 주 고객은 총 220명으로 남자 183명 (83.2%), 여자는 37명 (16.8%)이었으며, 남자의 평균연령은 $44.1\;{\pm}\;6.3$세, 여자는 $32.7\;{\pm}\;6.4$세로 나타나 여자 보다 남자의 평균연령이 유의하게 높았다 (p < .0001). 3) 직급별 조사에서는 판사 (124명)가 56.4%, 일반직 (96명)이 43.6%로 나타났으며, 주 고객층의 과반수이상 (51.8%)이 남자 판사이었다. 4) 봄철 ($3{\sim}5$월)에는 갈비탕 외 81가지의 메뉴가 제공 되었으며, 공헌마진과 인기도가 높은 STAR로 판정된 메뉴는 김치볶음밥, 갈비탕, 대구매운탕, 동태매운탕 등 23가지 (28.0%)이었다. 공헌마진은 낮으나 인기도가 높은 PLOWHORSE로 판정된 메뉴는 봄나물비빔밥, 김치찌개, 삼계탕, 선지해장탕 등 26가지 (31.7%)이었고, 공헌마진률은 높으나 인기도가 낮은 PUZZLE로 판정된 메뉴로는 꽃게탕, 낙지연포탕, 돈까스 등 15가지 (18.3%) 이었다. DOG로 판정된 메뉴는 고등어구이, 단호박 영양밥, 마파두부덮밥 등 18가지 (22.0%)로 조사되었다. 5) 여름철 ($6{\sim}8$월)에는 총 74가지 메뉴가 제공되었으며 STAR로 판정된 메뉴는 날치알밥, 콩나물국밥, 동태매운탕 등 20가지 (27.0%), PLOWHORSE 메뉴는 김쌈밥, 마파두부덮밥, 산채비빔밥 등 28가지 (37.8%), PUZZLE 메뉴는 냉모밀국수, 돈까스, 된장찌개 등 8가지 (10.8%), DOG 메뉴는 고등어자반구이, 꽁치소금구이 등 18가지 (24.3%)로 나타났다. 6) 가을철 ($9{\sim}11$월)에는 총 75가지의 메뉴가 제공되었으며, STAR 메뉴는 김치콩나물국밥, 동태매운탕, 만두전골, 버섯전골, 어묵백반, 우거지갈비탕, 추어탕 등 23가지 (30.7%), PLOWHORSE 메뉴는 김쌈밥, 마파두부덮밥, 잡채덮밥 및 카레라이스, 김치찌개, 된장찌개, 선지해장국, 순두부찌개, 얼갈이해장국, 육개장 등 24가지 (32.0%), PUZZLE 13가지 (17.3%), DOG 15가지 (20.0%)로 나타났다. 7) 겨울철에는 총 74가지의 메뉴가 제공되었으며 STAR메뉴 김치볶음밥, 날치알밥, 갈비탕, 굴해장국, 청국장찌개, 추어탕 등 25가지 (33.8%), PLOWHORSE 메뉴는 김쌈밥, 낙지비빔밥, 마파두부덮밥, 떡만두국, 얼갈이해장국, 육개장, 불고기정식 등 21가지 (28.4%), PUZZLE 메뉴는 갈치구이, 고등어구이, 닭매운찜 등 14가지 (18.9%), DOG 메뉴는 간장닭찜, 고등어자반구이 등 14가지 (18.9%)로 조사되었다. 8) 사계절 STAR 메뉴는 김치볶음밥 등 8가지로 전체 메뉴 중 6.2%에 불과해 사계절 DOG 메뉴 14가지 10.9% 보다 낮은 비율이었다. PLOWHORSE 메뉴 (김쌈밥 등 14가지) 10.9%, PUZZLE 메뉴 (새우볶음밥/자장소스 등 17가지) 13.2%으로 나타났다. 9) 년간 제공된 128가지의 주메뉴를 메뉴군별로 분류한 결과 밥류 29가지 (22.6%), 국/탕류 27가지 (21.1%), 면류 18가지 (14.1%), 찌개/전골류 13가지 (10.2%), 조림/찜류 12가지 (9.3%), 구이류와 양식류 각각 8가지 (6.3%), 양식 8가지 (6.25%), 볶음류 7가지 (5.5%), 중국음식 4가지 (3.1%) 및 기타 (1.5%)로 조사되었다. 10) 년간 STAR 메뉴의 비율은 양식 (75.0%), 국/탕류 (48.1%), 찌개/전골류 (23.1%), 밥류 (17.2%) 순이었으며, 구이류와 조림/찜류에는 STAR 메뉴가 없었다. PLOWHORSE 메뉴는 구이류 (75.0%), PLOWHORSE 메뉴는 '구이류 (75.0%)', '국/탕류 (29.6%)', '밥류 (27.6%)', '조림/찜류 (27.3%)' 순이었으며, 찌개/전골류에서는 PUZZLE이나 DOG 메뉴가 없었다. PUZZLE 메뉴는 조림/찜류와 면류 (각각 33.3%), 밥류 (31.0%) 순이었고, DOG 메뉴는 중국음식 (75.0%)과 면류 (55.6%)에서 많았다. 11) 주메뉴 128가지에 대하여 STAR, PLOWHORSE, PUZZLE, DOG 메뉴에 대한 비율은 각각 23.4%, 30.5%, 23.4%, 22.7%로 나타나 공헌마진과 인기도 모두 낮은 DOG 메뉴가 29가지 (22.7%)나 되었다. 본 연구는 단체급식소에서의 과학적인 메뉴분석 기법을 적용한 정기적인 메뉴분석에 기초자료를 제공하며, 계절별 및 중 장기적인 메뉴분석결과를 기초로 하는 메뉴관리가 이루어져야 함을 제안하고자 한다. 향후에는 배식 후 잔반량 조사와 피급식자의 주관적인 평가도 메뉴분석방법에 반영된 연구가 이루어져야할 것으로 사료된다.
