BetterTable Food Audit
Why does your hotel need a food waste audit?
Cut food waste and save money
The hotel industry has been looking into resource inefficiencies, focusing on energy efficiency. However, food & beverages remain an untapped potential for savings. The average restaurant food cost percentage is between 24 and 32% of total food sales. Together with the labor that goes into processing this food, this percentage constitutes 90% of total food sales. This means that every kg of food waste is a real loss as it represents an extra disposal cost, wasted labor and of course food that should not have been purchased.
Most of the times it is possible to reduce these costs by executing a food waste audit. The audit saves a lot of money on a yearly basis: you waste less and earn more.
