Assignment Task: Hilton Barbados adopted advanced food waste tracking technology for a period of six months to measure their food waste and determine the return on investment of food waste prevention and management efforts. By relying on support from their Blue Energy Committee, kitchen management and sous chefs began looking at how food waste relates to covers and occupancy, and where food waste reduction could save money. In the beginning, it was not easy getting the staff on-board to participate, especially those that are less confident or tech-savvy; developing the right style of leadership by sous chefs and kitchen management; managing time to track waste during a busy rush; and finding logistically feasible options for saved food, such as off-loading. Hilton Barbados learned first-hand how effective food waste measurement can drive an organization toward environmental goals as well as their intended social Impact.
