CDM Exam Prep: Dietary Manager

About this app

Prepare for the Certified Dietary Manager, Certified Food Protection Professional (CDM, CFPP) exam on a kitchen line built for the job. Read the ticket, check the tray, and make the call a dietary manager has to make.

TRAY-LINE AUDIT
Each ticket is a mock diet order and tray, or a kitchen scene: a steam table reading, a cooling log, a delivery at the back door, a dish machine log. Flag every line that's wrong, then call the correction. Every line is marked FIX or OK with the reason, followed by the right call and the rule behind it. Categories cover texture and fluids, allergens, therapeutic diets, resident rights and preferences, line temperatures, cooling and date marks, receiving and storage, warewashing and chemicals, portions and production, and staff and records. Some tickets are clean, so you learn to pass a correct tray too.

KITCHEN MATH (FREE)
Four exam-practice calculators, always free: food cost percent and menu price, recipe scaling, as-purchased versus edible-portion yield, and labor minutes per meal. Each one shows the formula it uses.

YOUR LINE
Home shows your orders up: run a scored set, work your weak station, take today's audit, or rework your missed questions. Five stations track how you're doing in each exam domain, and a countdown runs to your exam date.
