RESTwithEU is a European Commission Pilot Project dedicated to enhancing the resilience and sustainability of the restaurant industry by 2030 through accelerated digitalization. One of the project's core focuses is on addressing the critical issue of food waste, which poses significant environmental and financial challenges for restaurants. It is estimated that the average restaurant generates thousands of euros in food waste annually, leading to considerable inefficiencies. To combat this, RESTwithEU promotes a holistic approach to sustainability by encouraging restaurants to adopt best practices aimed at reducing food waste. These practices not only align with environmental responsibility but also contribute to substantial cost savings through lower food procurement and reduced waste management expenses.
