FY 2021 steps:
- HFS Dining will invest in and implement CBORD FSS menu management system in dining locations to aid in more comprehensive forecasting. These efforts will allow UW Dining to more accurately estimate the number of dining patrons and reduce over-purchasing that adds to waste.
- Status update: An update on the status of this step will be posted in Winter quarter 2021.
- HFS Dining will utilize over-production tracking within the dining units. The overproduction process and data will be used for two purposes; data will be entered into the menu management software to be used to improve future forecasting. Food that is identified as over-production will be diverted to a local food bank or donation group to be further utilized.
- Status update: An update on the status of this step will be posted in Winter quarter 2021.
- HFS Dining will review over-production and over-purchasing data as well as weekly inventory data and reports routinely to identify and take Action against potential points of waste reduction, ultimately reducing the waste stream produced by HFS Dining kitchens.
