Plate Waste

Plate Waste

Plate waste accounts for large amounts of food waste. Here are our tips for reducing it

Plate Waste
  • Offer different portion sizes to suit guests’ appetites, such as smaller portions for lighter appetites and children’s portions.

  • Determine the optimal portion size for each dish and use it as a guideline.

  • Offer flexible side-dish options, such as smaller portions with the option to have more.

  • Use voluminous garnishes, such as frilly lettuce leaves. These add volume to the plate while using fewer leaves.

  • Adapt the menu by removing or adjusting dishes that are frequently left uneaten.

  • Raise awareness of food waste and the costs it generates. This will help reduce the amount of food wasted.
