People love to indulge in various kinds’ food. This is a reason that you find restaurants everywhere. These
restaurants serve food in many ways like A la-Carte and Buffets in-order to offer a variety to their customers.
All kinds of Food Outlets prepare food in bulk, as they expect a lot of customers would come to enjoy the
food every day. For most Food Outlets, at the end of the day, there is a lot of leftover food. This food is a
waste, as the Food Outlets don’t intend to serve stale food to their customer’s the next day, to maintain their
brand value.
So, every day a specific quantity of food is prepared keeping in mind a probable number of expected customers,
which might be more than the actual number of customers who visit. This leads to a good quantity of food getting
wasted, which is a loss for the restaurant as they need to dump the food or pass it on free to the NGO’s feeding
hungry people. Everyday wastage if accounted for the whole year is a big loss for the restaurants.
