Did you know…
There are a lot of reasons why we need to care about food waste. When food is thrown away, all of the energy it takes to produce, transport, package, and prepare that food also ends up in the trash. Food rotting in landfills emits methane, which is a greenhouse gas 20 times more environmentally detrimental than carbon dioxide. While 40% of all food produced in this country goes to waste, one in six Americans is food insecure (meaning they don’t know where their next meal is coming from) and plate waste is a huge part of this problem. The Natural Resources Defense Council reports that on average, diners leave 17 percent of their meals uneaten.
We’re proud to share that we actively compost behind the scenes! Our dishwashing team separates food waste from trash before loading the dishes into the machines, ensuring proper disposal and supporting sustainability efforts.
To support these sustainability goals, please leave all trash and food waste on your plate. There’s no need to dump your drink or clear your plate—our team will happily handle it for you!
