"Stop throwing profit in the bin."
The restaurant industry wastes 30-40% of all food purchased. VendorKeeper's food waste tracking module gives you the tools to log, categorize, and analyze every instance of ingredient spoilage, over-portioning, preparation waste, and expired stock — helping you systematically cut your food cost percentage and protect your margins.
Staff log every waste event digitally: ingredient name, quantity discarded, reason (spoilage, cooking error, breakage), and responsible station.
Break down waste by type: pre-preparation waste, cooking errors, over-portioning, or customer returns. Identify which category costs you most.
Compare theoretical ingredient usage (based on sales) against actual consumption (including waste). Highlight exactly where your food cost budget is leaking.
Weekly and monthly waste summary reports show trends over time — helping you hold kitchen staff accountable and measure the impact of portion control training.
Set up your waste categories: Expired, Over-Portioned, Cooking Error, Customer Return, etc.
Kitchen staff log each waste event from the POS terminal or Android app — quantity, ingredient, and reason.
VendorKeeper translates each waste log into its cost equivalent, showing you the financial impact of every discard.
Pull weekly waste reports, identify hotspots, and implement corrective measures to systematically reduce waste.
