We were able to feed an additional person at no additional cost!!! I immediately applied this same thinking to the dessert I decided to add to the kids meals for the Cultural Enhancement Center. With the batch I made, instead of 15 5oz portions with leftovers, it stretched to 167 2oz portions of an unexpected for almost everyone we fed today... Please reach out if you know how we can scale this principle up.
