Plan specials that use surplus ingredients. Surplus items, quantities and use-by status: [SURPLUS_ITEMS]. Kitchen equipment and staff skills: [KITCHEN_CAPABILITY]. Menu style: [MENU_STYLE]. Target cost percentage: [TARGET_COST]. Propose six specials, each with a description under 25 words, ingredient quantities per portion from the surplus list, prep steps, estimated plate cost using my prices, and a suggested price. Include a safety rule: never use stock past its use-by date or stored outside required conditions, and follow the kitchen's food safety procedures [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION]. Add a daily process for deciding specials at 10 a.m., a way to brief servers on allergens, and a log of waste avoided. Do not state allergen content unless I give ingredient information. Also add a rule for freezing and labelling surplus where appropriate, with storage times to be taken from the official guidance I follow [VERIFY], and a weekly review of waste records to prevent over-ordering. Records, logs and checks support my procedure but do not replace staff training or official requirements. Tag legal and safety points [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION] and have the person in charge confirm them.
