From Trash to Cash: How to Boost Profits by Reducing Food Waste

U.S. restaurants generate over 11 million tons of food waste annually, costing the industry more than $25 billion. Though this presents a significant challenge, it also offers a massive opportunity for restaurants.

Reducing food waste is not just an eco-friendly initiative. It’s also a smart business strategy. The proof is in the numbers: Restaurant365 helped restaurants cut their food waste by an estimated $318 million in 2023, equating to approximately 1.2% of total food sales.

In this webinar, discover how advanced food-saving features like precision forecasting, integrated inventory management, and waste tracking are transforming restaurant operations and boosting profits.
