Your Restaurant's Waste is Telling you Something

Restaurant waste can be frustrating, annoying, and costly. All restaurant managers know that smooth operations include not having to manage their waste, recycling, or food-waste containers, waste can be tricky. Where is it coming from? How many waste bins collections or size of waste containers are actually needed for the level of business? What about those new recycling regulations or rules and how do you get your employees to follow them? A waste services provider that uses waste technology, can alleviate some of this stress by providing clarity into waste management and recycling programs while also being cost-effective for restaurant managers.

Waste pain points don’t have to be the norm!

There are plenty of opportunities for mishandled waste to become a bigger problem. It could be too heavy for an employee, causing back pain or injury, or the bag could spill or break creating a slippery spot on the floor. Too many trips to the waste container can invite unwanted pests or insects into the kitchen and dining areas, leading to health and safety issues for employees or customers. Perhaps the waste container’s loading height is too tall for your employees, potentially causing some waste to spill outside of the container, not to mention the environmental impact that could result from an overflowing bin.

A good waste service provider can assist managers with how to handle materials properly, how to reduce spillage, slips and falls, and how to make trips to the dumpster more efficient.

Great waste services means clarity, understanding, and better overall satisfaction!

Your waste services provider helps uncover inefficiencies and potential issues by evaluating and understanding the life cycle of your restaurant’s waste - what is coming in and where is it coming from? How are the materials generated? How can you eliminate unnecessary waste and reduce costs? Do you recycle? Do you recycle correctly?

There are now so many different rules around producer responsibility. Finding and understanding the needed information takes necessary time away from other important managerial tasks, and when staff needs to make quick decisions in this fast-paced industry, an ill-defined recycling program will likely result in inconsistency.

Studies also show that employees find value in company programs that make them feel like they’re making a difference and contributing to something bigger than themselves. Restaurant employees who follow a well-defined recycling program can feel more confident in their job, have more pride in their environmental impact and are more in alignment with management expectations. A waste services provider can assist management by laying out a clear and comprehensive recycling program that makes the most sense for their restaurant, ensuring that it is both well-defined for staff and cost-effective for operations.

Waste is inherently messy, but by partnering with a waste services provider, it’s possible to make a more positive impact on restaurant operations. Waste services can impact employee engagement through a clearly defined and executed recycling program, discover insights to create more efficient health and safety operations and reduce overall waste management costs for restaurants.
