Counting the Cost of Waste in Holiday Catering

Image
In catering, as is the case in any other business sector, being resourceful has its own rewards. Wastefulness is never a positive attribute, but catering is an area offering particular rewards for companies that take the time to ensure their practices minimize waste and make the best possible use of the resources at their disposal. For caterers based in hotels and holiday resorts, keeping on the ball in terms of waste is especially important. Holidaymakers tend to indulge themselves never more so than when eating and drinking so those preparing and serving meals need to ensure that they are the ones taking the responsibility to make the difference in limiting waste. What is waste? As a starting point, it is perhaps best to examine what is meant by the term 'waste'. It probably immediately conjures up images of food waste, and this is of course one of the main ways in which caterers blow their money. Through buying too many ingredients, serving needlessly oversized porti...

Food Suppliers and the Catering Trade - Learning to Manage a Kitchen Order

Image
The catering trade isn't easy to run. It's based on an element of unpredictability, and constantly battles with itself to balance the need to have as much food as its guests want, with the requirement not to order too much. It takes a while to get used to the routines of food ordering. The novice manager isn't helped by the fact that different owners have different ways of doing things. Some prefer to keep their stocks on the dangerous side of low, stating that they would rather run out of items and take them off the menu until the food suppliers next visit: while others can't abide the idea that a customer could order something from the menu that isn't available anymore. The two points of view are represented, in one way or another, across the board of catering establishments and hospitality industry locations. The first point of view is not just financially motivated. It is, of course, true that you can't lose money on food if you are selling more tha...
