It's no surprise that the foodservice industry has made a lot of drastic changes in the last decade. From pursuing eco-friendly appliances to learning how to cut back on kitchen real estate, the industry has put a lot of thought into how to be less wasteful and more resourceful. According to the FDA, food waste in the United States makes up between 30-40% of food supply.
Knowing how much food is going to waste each year may leave you wondering how much money you could be saving if you cut back on the loss of supply. So, how can you keep food fresher for longer and make improvements to your foodservice operation?
