Food waste management in hotels and restaurants
Food waste management in hotels and restaurants has become an important issue worldwide. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that one-third of all food produced worldwide ends up as waste. Hotels and restaurants are bound to generate considerable amounts of food waste and disposing of them is a great task. Generally, food waste management in hotels and restaurants includes prevention and reduction, recycling, donating, composting, tracking, improving ingredient purchase and storage, smart food merchandising, menu design, employee training, customer engagement, portion control, and service model changes.
Here are some ways that help you to manage your hotel and restaurant waste
1. Make your menu unique and provide various portion sizes
The first step towards managing food waste is making your menu unique. You can do this by providing different types of meals for different people. Also, consider providing different portion sizes so that customers don’t have to throw away leftovers after eating their meal fully. This will help you save money as well as reduce the amount of food wasted in your hotel/restaurant kitchen.
2. Wrap up the leftovers
When servers give customers meal portions they cannot afford to finish, leftovers result. The accuracy of customer orders can be improved in order to address this issue. Each dish’s popularity must be understood by managers so that they may plan the production of the food accordingly. It might be suggested to the customers to take any leftover meals home. If any food is left over, it might be given to the waitstaff or given to others in need.
3. Install a food waste converter machine

Installing a fully automatic machine in your backyard helps you turn your food scraps into useful soil supplements within hours.
4. Buy Only What You Need
Sale or discount coupons do not entail stockpiling every vegetable available. They can pose a serious risk of food spoiling if used continuously for longer than a week. Only purchase items that will actually be used and for which you know how much you will need. Shop wiser!
5. Donate Surplus Food
Feed the hungry by donating any extra food from the day that is still in large quantities. This is the best kind of charitable effort there is. It is as easy as dropping off surplus at a local modest shelter, getting in touch with a larger organization, or going to a neighboring disadvantaged neighborhood and handing out supplies. You would be working for inner serenity in addition to all the previously listed advantages. Animals can also be fed food scraps.
Prevention can be defined as “the activity that prevents or avoids the creation of a problem or hazard”. It is always better to avoid the production of food waste than recycle or dispose of it afterward. The prevention should be done at the source level by implementing proper practices like purchasing only what is needed for the day or for the meal.
