Don't forget the dessert

There’s always a 'sweetener' at the end of a good menu. Here are some ideas for reducing your food waste, helping the environment AND improving profitability by cutting disposal costs:

  • maintain stocks approximate to customer purchases
  • engage in sale or return arrangements with suppliers
  • reduce prices of products nearing their sell by date and designating a bargain area in the display cabinet.

Provided the foodstuffs are still within their shelf life and fit for human consumption:

  • let staff take home unsold product
  • make charitable donations to local good causes.
