To begin reducing waste in any operation, you need to know what you're wasting. Enter the food waste audit, which gives you a snapshot of how much and what you're wasting in your operation.
This guide offers tips, tools, and recommendations for conducting a food waste audit of your pre-consumer (or "kitchen") food waste. We'll walk you through creating a plan based on these five criteria:
Timing. When and how often will you conduct the audit?
Participants. Who will be your food waste champion? Who else will participate and what will their roles be?
Goals. What exactly do you want to achieve with your food waste audit?
Process. How will you record data? What will you measure?
Location. Where is the most efficient location for the audit?
