We are back with another Live event to address one of hospitality's most underestimated challenges and third largest accelerator of climate change - Food Waste.

Food waste affects hotel's profitability, with more than 15-25% of the food cost ending up as food waste, hindering hotel's sustainability and operational efficiency, and distancing more and more the conscious guests from the F&B operations that don't commit to tackling food waste. Join us and gain insights from experts and industry leaders working to reduce food waste and foster a more sustainable future for our hospitality sector. We will be highlighting effective food waste prevention practices, key learnings from The PLEDGE's journey into fighting food waste and practical opportunities for businesses to make impactful changes. 👉 Register here and see you on 4th December! https://lnkd.in/dZXsBgvp #FightFoodWaste #Sustainability #ProfitManagement #FoodCost #Hotels #Restaurants The PLEDGE on Food Waste Benjamin Lephilibert Marco Sandri Alexander Horswill Teeka Teeka-uttamakorn Kritpatsorn Thatsanasuwan Benedikt John AEDH-Asociación Española Directores Hotel HOSBEC BUSINESS Open Revenue Consulting Raquel Navarro Marín Ana carte Katrine Johanson (MBA, CHIA) d2o | Hospitality Performance Management Technology Marcel Hendrickx Giovanni Pitorri Horeca Sustainability Solutions

Zero-waste cooking doesn't exist. There will always be some waste. The idea of zero-waste cooking is to be as close as possible to the zero. Knowing that zero probably isn't achievable. Don't focus on the perfection. Perfection is the enemy of progress. Good is better than perfect. The perceived need for perfection, especially in the sustianability space is counter-productive. Do the best you can with what you have and by all means keep pushing and exploring possibilities, but don't let the need for perfection to hold you back from taking action. Reducing food waste by 30% is better than not reducing it at all. #foodwaste #zerowaste #chefs #restaurants #hotels On the photo: Inside the fridge of the almighty Holy Carrot in London 👀

We are thrilled and proud to announce that #HyattRegencyBeijingWangjing has achieved an impressive All-Star level with 100% score of The PLEDGE on Food Waste certification, a testament to our ongoing efforts in reducing food waste. This accomplishment underscores our commitment to sustainability and our proactive approach to addressing the global climate concern. Under the strategic guidance of Hotel Manager Ernie, Fu Yuan Hah and the culinary expertise of Executive Chef Kenny Fong, who has been instrumental in leading this initiative, we have not only met but exceeded expectations. Our dedication to sustainability is evident in our actions: by the end of 2023, we had successfully banned single-use plastics from our premises. Furthermore, we have taken significant steps to reduce food waste. In a remarkable show of teamwork and dedication, Market Cafe achieved its best single-day revenue since opening on 3 Nov. This accomplishment is a proud moment for us and a reflection of our guests' appreciation for our commitment to quality and sustainability. General Manager Jesus Romero Quesada extends heartfelt gratitude to every team member, especially Food Lover's Committee and the Market Café team. He said, "We are dedicated to sustainable practices, and reducing food waste is a significant part of that journey. Together, we play the game differently." #FoodWasteReduction #Certification #ThePledgeonFoodWaste #Sustainability #hospitaliy #WorldofHyatt #Hyatt #ESG #Achievement #Celebration #Teamwork #WePlaytheGameDifferently
