How to make your produce go further whilst reducing wastage in your restaurant

Your profits come from serving food, not throwing it away, so why not take the storage of your produce seriously?

Smart operators know that wastage = fewer profits, and with labour costs exceeding historic levels, it’s only getting more difficult for operators to scrape decent profits from their bottom line. But what if profits could be found in the bottom of a container?

According to a University of Arizona study, 4-10% of food purchased by restaurants gets thrown out. Compare that with data acquired by The National Restaurant Association which suggests food costs equate to a third of your overall expense budget, and you’ll begin to see how important food wastage can be to your bottom line.

The use of plastic wrap when covering and storing fresh produce is rampant in restaurants, but the simple use of a proper seal cover on your gastronorm pans can do huge things for the overall look, taste and longevity of your products whilst reducing wastage in your venue. And with new the introduction of Cambro’s new Universal Seal Covers, properly storing your produce just got a lot easier.

These universal seal covers by Cambro can be fitted on all of the Cambro food pans, whether they are Polycarbonate pans, Translucent pans or our new High-Temperature X Pans. The inner seal provides tight closure, reducing spills and extending product freshness by up to 3 days.
