A free workshop to help hospitality venues reduce their waste and improve profitability. Sessions are chef-led and activity-based, equipping operators with practical, affordable tools and knowledge.
A Matter of Waste is a free three-part workshop series to help local hospitality businesses reduce their waste, delivered in partnership with The Table Food Consultants.
In this session, we’ll explore waste - where it comes from, why it matters, and how to reduce it with practical systems and strategies that stick. Key focus areas include:
- Where waste comes from in a venue (food, packaging, single-use items)

- Portioning, storage, and team systems that reduce waste
- Upcycling and creative reuse
- Real cost of waste and how to measure it
Each participant will receive access to a digital resource pack that includes:
- Waste audit templates (quick and deep dive versions)
- Supplier conversation guide and checklist
- Local producer contact list
- Menu engineering worksheet
- Quick Swaps poster (reducing Chux, cling film, packaging)
- Goal tracking sheet (aligned with Workshop 1 commitments)
