Rosa Campus Cafe · Menu Build Manual
Every item, how it's built, what it costs, and where to reorder it.
This is the working reference for the current menu changeover. Each food item has a build card with portions — follow them, because the margins depend on it (the Turkey Croissant is the tightest example — the croissant is the priciest bread). Prices are customer-facing; costs and SKUs are for ordering only.

How we compare to the field. Industry guidance for a focused coffee-shop menu is roughly 15–25 drinks and 10–15 food items, with 5–9 items per category to avoid choice overload, and a rule of thumb to review anything selling under ~5 units/week. Rosa's food menu (14) sits right in the sweet spot and every category is within range. The drink menu (24) is healthy but at the top of the focused range — worth watching the slower variants (e.g., the three frappé flavors, the specialty teas) against the 5-a-week yardstick and trimming any that don't earn their spot.

Changeover & Operating Rules
What to order & what to hold
New for this menu — don't skip these. Fresh mozzarella, roasted red pepper, buffalo sauce, ranch cups, and balsamic glaze — everything the two new sandwiches (8 Mile & Greenlight) need. The Turkey Croissant is unchanged and runs on what you already stock.
Restock as usual. Cookies & muffins, plus any sandwich staples running low (turkey, chicken, cheeses, breads, aioli). Order to par; hold what you already have until it runs down.
Watch the croissantThe Turkey Croissant is the tightest at ~24% food cost — the croissant is the priciest bread. Hold the build to 4 slices turkey; it clears the rule but has the least room, so don't over-portion.
PricingCroissant is a +$1 breakfast upgrade. It runs a higher food-cost % than muffin/bagel but still a strong dollar margin; muffin/bagel stay the default at $6.50.
Before ordering GFSRouting must be enabled. The GFS rep still needs to turn on routing before any GFS order can submit — until then, GFS is order-ready as a guide but can't check out.
House standardCondiments in single-serve packets. Use packets (mustard, mayo, etc.) wherever they're available — consistent portions, less waste, cleaner line. The Turkey Croissant's mustard and mayo are both packets.
Menu change is customer-facing too. Add the new items to the board/POS — 8AM, Reset, 8 Mile, Greenlight — and keep the Turkey Croissant where it is, so what guests see matches what rings up.
