10 ways to conquer food wastage
here are some tips on how to reduce food waste in a commercial kitchen:
Plan your menu and order only what you need to avoid over-purchasing.
Keep track of inventory and use the FIFO (first in, first out) method to ensure that older ingredients are used first.
Store food properly to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
Use every part of the ingredient, such as vegetable peels and meat scraps, in stocks or sauces.
Be creative with leftovers and repurpose them into new dishes.
Offer smaller portion sizes to reduce plate waste.
Train your staff on food waste reduction practices and encourage them to share their ideas.
Monitor waste regularly and adjust your menu or ordering practices accordingly.
Donate excess food to local food banks or shelters.
Consider composting food scraps to reduce waste and benefit the environment.
