Wasted food

The wasted food section is where kitchen staff log food that had to be thrown away during the day. Recording this in real time — not at the end of the week — gives you accurate data on where food is being wasted and why.

What counts as wasted food?​

Any food that was prepared or thawed but not served to customers:

  • Overproduced meals (cooked too many portions)
  • Spoiled ingredients discovered in the kitchen
  • Meals returned by customers
  • Food that was dropped or contaminated

Recording waste​

Go to E-Control → Wasted food.

Click + Record waste and fill in:

  • The date (defaults to today)
  • The meal or ingredient that was wasted
  • The quantity wasted
  • The reason (overproduction, spoilage, customer return, etc.)

Click Save.

Reviewing waste history​

The history view shows all recorded waste entries. You can filter by date range, meal type, or reason to spot patterns.

If waste for a specific meal is consistently high, it may indicate that too many portions are being cooked — the planned quantities in the Kitchen display should be adjusted.
