Attention Hospitality and F&B OPERATORS! You could be (literally) throwing money away into your trash, the landfill AND it might be costing you more than $100K every year. This savings strategy is one that most of you may have never considered! It is commonly overlooked and we break it down for you and how it works in this episode. 

By the end of this episode, you will soon realize how much money your operation is possible wasting and you’ll want to do an waste audit of your property ASAP. 

“You're not in the business to keep the landfill in business. You're in the business to make more money. So the more money you can save in a disposable - that money needs to be parlayed into things that drive more revenue and ticket sales”

3 Reasons To Do A Property Audit ASAP: 

  1. Operators often believe they need larger trash can liners than they actually do - and it costs them significantly. A common mistake is buying 60-gallon liners for a 44-gallon, 32-gallon or even a 23-gallon Slim Jim trash can.
  2. Improper management of your trash cans and trash liners can cause increased expense to your business and operation. Addressing overlooked money drainers like trash can liners can possiby save you $1000-$100,000+ every year depending on your property size. 
  3. By optimizing management and the waste stream of your trash, you free up resources to enhance guest experiences, invest in state-of-the-art equipment, and elevate food quality, driving even more revenue
