Top Tips for a Sustainable Restaurant
- Look for small changes and quick wins e.g. switching off appliances when not needed
- Be prepared to invest in some bigger changes too e.g. training your kitchen staff in food costing and knife skills
- Stay in touch with your peers and other local businesses; learn from each other!
- Talk, talk, talk. Communicate your ideas and get feedback. Many diners are becoming more aware, care more, and want to see their restaurant being environmentally friendly e.g. reducing plastics, reducing food waste.
- Always listen to your customers, they will appreciate it
