A menu can apply to one service window and be out of date at the next stop. FDA publishes food establishment context. A mobile operator can use an artificial log to test whether an assistant checks the menu version before reporting availability. FDA Food Code

Create two invented service windows and two menu versions. Give one a confirmed substitution and leave the other with an unverified note. Ask which item status is supported at a specific time and what the staff needs to verify. Do not ask the model to advise about ingredients, allergens or preparation.

Keep real routes, customers, staff details, private recipes, payment information and licensed logos out. Use entirely fictional records.

Describe a menu status exercise

Original Fiund exercise

Match an item substitution to the correct practice window

Two invented service windows and paper menus define a version task. The exercise provides no real route, sale, ingredient advice or food preparation instruction.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
MENU-W1First practice windowWindow W1 uses menu M1 and lists neutral item Cedar.
MENU-W2Second practice windowWindow W2 uses M2. A confirmed log substitutes neutral item Maple for Cedar only during W2.
NOTE-D1Unverified noteA note proposes extending the substitution to W1 but has no confirmation or effective time.

Question for the model

Which item listing is supported for each window by the supplied records?

Show the reference answer and checks

The supplied W1 record lists Cedar under M1. The confirmed W2 log substitutes Maple during W2 under M2. NOTE-D1 does not establish that the W2 change also applies to W1. Report the scope of each source and the unverified proposal separately. The exercise does not establish actual stock, ingredients or a service decision.

  • Applying the later-window substitution to every window.
  • Promoting the unverified extension note to a confirmed menu change.

Fields to preserve

Window identifier
Keep each change within its stated practice period.
Menu and revision
Preserve the version actually associated with the window.
Substitution status
Distinguish a confirmed scoped change from a proposed extension.

Test another case

Add a later confirmation that explicitly applies to both windows. The answer should then change because the source scope changes.

Use fabricated menu records only. Exclude customers, real locations or routes, payments, staff information, recipes, ingredient and allergen decisions.
