Tips on how to reduce food spoilage in your restaurant

Tips on how to reduce food spoilage in your restaurant

Food products such as dairy, poultry and meat

have their own shelf lives and demand proper storage

and handling to prevent spoilage.

Restaurants, big or small, should be consciously

aware of their stock and invest in proper storage

facilities for the safekeeping of their food

products.

It’s a real shame when food spoils, so here are a few guidelines in the

prevention of food spoilage:

Make a Priority List

Purchase only what you can use in a definite

period. Try your best to not overstock items especially imported

perishable products. 

O The best way is to find a reliable food distributor or exporter that can meet your

restaurant needs on a regular basis, such asO  food distributors in Australia O who are known to deliver world-

renowned cheese brands, meat and other grocery items fresh and fast throughout Asia

and the Pacific.

Organize and Store Properly

Proper packaging and food storage equipment

like refrigeration units and sanitary storage rooms

play a critical role in food preservation. Proper

temperature levels for specific food types are necessary to maintain

their respective premium conditions.

Also, always be mindful regarding sanitation. Salmonella and e-coli are among the more common bacteria

that can posit harm to your consumers.

Maintain Portion Controls

Keep everything in control, particularly the

measurements of ingredients for every dish. Not only will this make the quality and

taste of your food consistent, but it will also prevent faster spoilage.

Take note that some ingredients may be good for “single consumption” only while some can last up to days or weeks after

opening. 

Poor management of ingredients will surely lead to wastage, and worst

case scenario may be food poisoning.

It’s never easy to establish credibility especially with

restaurants and you have to triple your hard work to gain and maintain

loyal customers. There is no room for mistakes

because the health and well-being of your customers are always on the line.
