SRA & FoodSave Considerate Hoteliers are pleased to support an initiative being run by the Sustainable Restaurant Association (SRA) to help food service businesses including hotel restaurants reduce the amount of food they waste. The SRA is running FoodSave, funded by the Mayor of London in partnership with the European Regional Development Fund and the London Waste and Recycling Board, for SMEs in London. Restaurants of all kinds are benefitting from taking part in the month-long audits which involve staff logging the food they throw in the bin which sits on a set of scales connected to a tablet programmed with information about the site’s menu and food costs. The SRA then works with the catering teams to find ways of reducing food waste and tracks this over time. The SRA have also just started running a “snap shot” waste audit providing a high level overview of food waste over one week. Using all the insights from the detailed FoodSave audits this is a condensed version of the project which will allow more businesses to take part. A review of the first ten participating restaurants found average annual savings of 1.7 tonnes (equivalent to 24 180 litre bins) and £5,500 in direct food costs. FoodSave has also acted as an inspiration for catering teams, http://us5.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dde11f98e5ce03d93968ee089&id=9d0205ca02&e=[UNIQID]

helping them to reassess purchasing and storage practices as well as rejig their menus. Mark Jarvis, Head Chef at the Bingham Hotel, which recently completed the FoodSave programme, said: “FoodSave really helped us focus on inventory waste. We now pay much closer attention to inventory checks and have made changes such as making bread in house. The project is extremely worthwhile to take part in.” For more information about how you can deliver significant savings for your hotel and how you can get involved in FoodSave contact the Programme Manager Victoria Moorhouse or call 0207 4794226
