INTRODUCTION
Is subsistence tracking within your dining facility a problem area that is constantly affecting your
accountability? Do your ordering and receiving procedures need serious adjusting? For most
dining facilities the area of Subsistence Management is not being managed efficiently, and this
causes problems across the entire spectrum of food service quality for the entire dining facility.
Managers must follow specific guidelines in order to ensure effective Subsistence Management
within their facility.
