According to the United Nations, the global foodservice sector currently wastes an estimated 290 million tonnes of food annually.¹ Here in New Zealand, it is estimated every café and restaurant throws out 2.8 tonnes of food on average each year, 61% of which is avoidable.² At a time when foodservice is being crunched by overheads, it pays to regularly assess your menu for opportunities to cut complexity, eliminate spoilage and drive profitability.
