In today's society, the problem of food waste is a growing concern. Smart canteens actively explore and practice the concept of anti-food waste by changing the form of food sales, rationally planning meal budgets, and intelligent procurement management. This series of measures not only improves the economic efficiency of the canteen, but also contributes to sustainable development.
1.Changes in the form of food sales.
Through the introduction of intelligent technology, the smart canteen has changed the traditional way of selling food and realized accurate chain management. With the introduction of a smart ordering system, employees can pre-order dishes and avoid over-preparation of ingredients. At the same time, in the form of weighing meals or small bowls of dishes, employees are encouraged to take meals on demand to reduce dine-in waste. This change in the form of food sales has effectively reduced the surplus rate of canteens and provided substantial support for the fight against food waste.
2.Rationalization of feeding budgets.
Through data analysis and algorithms, the smart canteen realizes the rationalization of the meal budget. According to historical dining data, employees' dining habits and other information, the system accurately arranges the daily meal demand, so as to reasonably arrange the food procurement plan. It not only reduces the waste caused by over-procurement, but also ensures the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Through the fine management of the feeding budget, the smart canteen effectively controls the cost and provides economic support for the fight against food waste.
3.Intelligent procurement management.
The smart canteen adopts an intelligent procurement management system to select high-quality ingredients through the evaluation and screening of the best merchants. The system monitors the warehousing, storage and distribution process of ingredients in real time to ensure that the ingredients are clear and traceable, and avoid waste caused by unqualified raw materials. In addition, the system can also monitor pesticide residues and record the shelf life, which provides a guarantee for the safety of food ingredients.
Through the change of the form of meal sales, the rationalization of the meal budget and the intelligence of procurement management, the smart canteen has achieved remarkable results in anti-food waste. This innovative management model not only improves the economic efficiency of the canteen, but also responds positively to the sustainable development goals. In the future, with the continuous upgrading of technology and the concept of social responsibility deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, smart canteens will continue to take new steps on the road of anti-food waste.
