Review
What is the function of the Expansion Valve in a refrigeration cycle? - correct answer
✔✔Controls the pressure of the liquid refrigerant as it enters the evaporator, lowering the
pressure and temperature.
What is the purpose of the Evaporator in a refrigeration cycle? - correct answer ✔✔To absorb
heat by allowing the low-pressure refrigerant to expand and change state from liquid to gas
through evaporation.
What is the role of the Compressor in a refrigeration cycle? - correct answer ✔✔To increase
refrigerant pressure by compressing its volume, transforming it from a low pressure gas to a
high pressure gas before discharging it to the condenser.
What is the role of the condenser in a refrigeration cycle? - correct answer ✔✔Condenser
Removes heat from the refrigerant as vapor condenses. The condenser is a coil of tubing,
typically copper, with metal fins and a fan. As refrigerant gas travels through the length of coil,
heat is dissipated, causing the gas to condense into a high-pressure liquid. The fins provide a
metal surface to more efficiently absorb heat while the fan blows air across the coil to remove
it. From the condenser, the pressurized liquid moves to the metering device.
semi open kitchen - correct answer ✔✔an open kitchen where customers can see the chefs
FOH flow pattern - correct answer ✔✔arrival, greeting at door, seating, busser approach, server
greet, dining, check presentation
expectations of a restroom - correct answer ✔✔clean, comfy, private, nice decor, good lighting,
self closing door id near kitchen, consider waiting area, separate bathroom for staff,
, whe hiring a project consultant - correct answer ✔✔reviews, certificates, and past work should
all be looked at
permits needed for food service - correct answer ✔✔business license, liquor license, certificate
of occupancy, food service license, health permit, insurance, music license
timeline for opening a restaurant - correct answer ✔✔ideas, concept, menu planning, business
plan, permits, budgeting
how do you estimate a projects budget - correct answer ✔✔estimate food cost, equipment
prices, factor cost of overhead, ect
guests first impression - correct answer ✔✔atmosphere, cleanliness, food
refrigerator space - correct answer ✔✔based on operation size
vented shelfing,
40% of space is actual storage
larger operations may have 2, one strictly for meats and fish
250 meals a day means you are requirerd to have a walk in of 80 cubic feet in refrigeration
Dry storage - correct answer ✔✔food must be stored 6 inches abive ground
space must be well lit
items must be kept neat as dry storage attracts pests
high V low temp dish washer - correct answer ✔✔high temp: rinse cycle must be 180 for 10
seconds
Cold temp/ class washers: cool/ warm rinse with sanitizer of 50 ppt or 12.5 iodine
