Conducting a food waste audit will help you to find out how you can implement changes to avoid food waste, helping to save money and limit environmental impact. The results of a food waste audit will assist you to identify opportunities to improve efficiency and save on operating costs. It is ideal to conduct a food waste audit across a minimum 2 – 4-week period to help you to identify fluctuations between busy and slow periods. However, if you can keep records for 12 months you can identify seasonal patterns and trends.
