Nowadays, it’s not enough to just present great food to diners at affordable prices and with impeccable service. Customers want more in their restaurants, because increasingly diners are thinking beyond their own appetites to what impact their choices are having on the greater world. Restaurants that respond to this demand by offering sustainable dining options, utilize biodegradable products, and take advantage of energy-saving services will not only gain more customers, but often will save money. This month we present you with great options to make your restaurant more environmentally conscious. Your restaurant can become more “green” in a number of ways. In food preparation, you can offer more eco-sustainable items, like sustainable meats or coffee. Even preparing the food can be more environmentally-conscious by simply switching to products that save energy like energy-efficient refrigerators, fryers, or food purifiers. There are also companies out there that will sell you energy-saving items that will help you not only prepare the food, but present it as well. The buffet is often one of the most wasteful and demanding features of any restaurant, but some of the products below will help you save money and resources on maintaining your buffet. Saving energy is not only better for the environment, but helps the restaurant reduce utilities costs in this tough market. Food purifiers, energy efficient fryers, eco-sustainable coffee, energy-saving buffet surfaces, biodegradable products, green-designed, non-toxic products and much more are included in this November issue. Go Green!
