Business owners are always looking for ways to find extra money, or new tactics on how to save a few dollars on cost. Many look at employes, can you fire a few employees and still get the same numbers? Can you hire more employees and create more revenue? What about cost, is there a way you can lower something such as waste? Well waste is a huge part of the bottom line. What is being thrown away, what can you do to create a better bottom line. A very good system but not always the most commonly talked about and maybe sanitary idea, go through the garbage. Every once in a while maybe you should take a certain time and decide you are going to search through the stuff that is thrown away in your store. Try breaking them down into different sections, such as know which trash is your behind the counter trash, and which ones are your lobby trash, and which ones are your bakery or kitchen trash. It is amazing what you cold find from just searching through minor things like that. Are the cooks or bakers throwing away stuff that could be reused again for a different product? Is the staff behind the counter using to many paper products for personal use? Are customers throwing out certain parts of a meal? Are you providing the customer with too much of a certain meal? These are all things you can find by simply looking at the trash that is coming from your business. It not a glamorous way to improve your company, but who cares, if it works it works.
