What is the correct method for communicating dietary restrictions to the galley to ensure proper meal fulfillment?

• A. Relay correct codes to galley after serving meals.
• B. Announce dietary needs to all passengers.
• C. Record dietary restrictions in manifest and relay correct codes to galley.
• D. Ignore dietary restrictions.

Answer: (C)

Accurate, standardized communication of dietary restrictions through the official passenger manifest and galley codes is essential for proper meal fulfillment. Before service, collect each passenger’s dietary needs, record them in the manifest, and relay the corresponding dietary codes to the galley so kitchen staff can prepare the correct meals. This keeps information centralized, helps the galley identify and assemble the right meals, and protects passenger privacy by not broadcasting personal needs to everyone. It also supports safe and efficient service, reducing the chance of cross-contact or errors.

Announcing dietary needs to all passengers breaches privacy and is ineffective for ensuring the right meals; relaying codes after meals are served is too late and prone to mistakes; ignoring restrictions is unsafe and unacceptable.
