As a takeaway restaurant, you can contribute to a cleaner planet by using reusable packaging, buying locally, getting creative in the kitchen, and collaborating with bicycle couriers. A smart cash register system can help you manage your inventory and orders more efficiently. Unipage provides intelligent sales insights to help you optimize your menu and stock.
The environment is a top priority everywhere. Do you want to do your part for a better planet? It doesn't have to be very difficult!
In coffee shops and juice bars, it's common for customers to bring their own mugs and receive a discount of five or ten cents. This reduces the number of disposable cups ending up in the trash. This concept can be applied in your takeaway restaurant as well. Ask customers to bring their own pots, plates, or containers that can be filled in the kitchen. If that's too much, look for reusable packaging.
Every week and every order is different. If you have an excess of asparagus one week, highlight asparagus soup as the "dish of the week" or the "soup of the day." If you've ordered more salmon than needed, try out a new dish. If it's a success, it might become a regular item!
Do you often have leftovers at the end of the night? Don't simply throw them away. You can still make a little profit by selling them at a lower price through social media. This way, your trash bin fills up less quickly, and you earn some extra money!
An avocado from Kenya or Chile, Italian broccoli, and peeled shrimp from Morocco. It won't surprise you that many fruits and vegetables travel a long (and polluting) journey before reaching your kitchen. You won't have this issue if you do your shopping with local farmers and growers. It requires some adjustment since you'll be dependent on the seasons, but it's twice as delicious.
Experiment with "trash cooking." The principle is simple: use what you would normally throw away in another dish. A very ripe tomato might not be ideal for a salad, but it's perfect for spaghetti sauce.
Do you offer home delivery and work with a delivery service? Choose one that delivers by bicycle for more environmentally friendly deliveries.
Did you know that with a clever cash register system, you can easily keep track of your inventory? When orders come in, your stock is updated immediately. This way, you'll know exactly what ingredients you need to order and, more importantly, how much. It's ideal for preventing over-ordering and having to throw away food because it's been sitting for too long.
