Portion Sizes

Too Good To Waste

LFC encourages you to customize your portion sizes by requesting the following serving sizes:

  • Taste = sample size
  • Side = a half scoop
  • Standard = a full scoop
  • If you do not indicate the portion you’d like, you will receive a standard scoop.
  • You are welcome to return for additional portions.
  • Eat until you are satisfied and avoid waste by only taking what you can eat.
  • LFC encourages you to try foods that are new to you. Use the “Taste” size to explore new options and return for an additional portion if you like.
