Inventory Waste from Poor Management
Definition
Manual processes in food service inventory cause over-ordering and failure to monitor expiry dates, leading to high waste rates in perishables like produce and dairy used in zoo cafes.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 30% reduction in waste achieved (implying prior 30%+ loss on inventory value); typical restaurant waste 5-10% of COGS (AUD 10,000-50,000/year for mid-sized zoo F&B)
- Frequency: Ongoing daily/weekly due to perishables
- Root Cause: Manual tracking without real-time updates or demand forecasting
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Zoos and Botanical Gardens in Australia 🇦🇺 waste up to 30% of inventory value annually on food service spoilage. Automation of real-time tracking and reordering eliminates this loss.
