Waste Log

Weigh and log what is thrown away or written off: the leftovers of the breakfast buffet, kitchen trim, plate waste, expired and damaged goods in the warehouse, scrap, packaging and linen. Each entry gets its area, category, reason and where it went, and its value at purchase cost. The log shows what is lost in kg and in euro, per day and in grams per cover, the few reasons behind most of it, how much goes to donation, compost or residual waste, and whether the weeks are coming down to the target.

Purchase cost per unit (food cost), not the menu price. Take it from your invoices; the figures in the example are only examples.

Paste from Excel or CSV

One row per entry, columns in this order: date, shift, area, category, item, quantity, unit, cost per unit €, reason, where it went, note. Tabs, semicolons or commas all work, and a header row is skipped.

2 · Covers of the day optional

Guests served on that day, for example breakfast covers. With covers, food waste is shown in grams per cover, the usual food-waste figure: it lets a full day and a quiet day be compared.

3 · Period, filters and target

4 · Log

Nothing in the log yet. Add the first one above, paste from Excel, or .
