Opérations déjà accomplies/en cours Unilever Food Solutions have partnered with the Sustainable Restaurant Association to create a complete waste audit
and waste reducing toolkit. The process is structured in two stages. The first one is to carry out an audit using the online
toolkits developed by the initiative, which help caterers and chefs monitor where waste occurs in the kitchen. There
are also case studies on how other businesses have used the toolkit in the past and a Food Waste data tracking sheet
which helps linking the catering outlet’s food waste management to key performance indicators. Within the Smart
Staff section, there is a range of posters available to utilize around the kitchen to highlight awareness and enable
kitchen staff to monitor progress. ‘Purchasing tools' are also available to enable staff manage stock and allow to buy
more efficiently. The Mise en Place and recipe tools provide recipe templates which, as well as providing a simple way
to standardize recipes, can also be utilized for shopping lists. More importantly, the 'event efficiency tool' helps plan
menus, whilst tracking costs. The final element is on plate waste awareness and efficient monitoring.
Résultats et impacts The tool has just been launched, outcomes assessments aren't available yet.
