Waste Logs help to document food and product waste so that purchased items can be more precisely tracked across all Restaurant Locations. Knowing exactly how much food is wasted can become a point of focus for trimming down costs and strategizing processes around purchasing and handling food.
From the Waste Logs page, both Waste Logs and Waste Log Templates can be created and managed. Users can even print preconstructed Waste Log Templates that can then be hung up at several key places around your restaurant for more precise waste tracking.
When a log is entered into R365, Restaurant Managers can include attachments of printed logs and leave comments to clarify the reasons that the items were wasted. Admin users can review completed Waste Logs and either make additional edits or approve to finalize the log.
