Spotlight on food waste

Food waste is an issue for any operator with a kitchen. Every year, almost one-third of all food produced globally is wasted or lost before it can be consumed, according to the World Food Program.¹

Entegra clients partner with Leanpath to reduce waste using their proven system at a discounted rate. Consider:

• For every hour invested in tracking food waste, an average Leanpath site saves $811.
• For every dollar spent on food waste prevention a foodservice kitchen saw $6 to $7 return, according to UN-affiliated food waste advocacy group Champions 12.3.
• The labor saved by cutting food waste from overproduction (including purchasing, inventorying, prepping, cooking, discarding) in half could increase a kitchen's profitability by 4% to 8%.²

Preventing food waste in the first place is critical to solving the food waste problem overall. Leanpath and Entegra can help.

In addition to how Entegra can help with food waste, in our latest sustainability report, we dive into:

• Sustainable packaging
• Energy and water conservation
• Local suppliers that buoy their communities
