Reduce Food Waste and Protect Your Bottom Line

Food and beverage are at the heart of hospitality, with venues spending an average of 25-40% of monthly revenue on food inventory. That’s why it’s important to your bottom line to ensure that your food - and ultimately, money - aren’t going to waste, literally.

Within the hospitality sector alone, food waste is estimated to be $100 billion. A recent analysis shows about 70% of that waste happens before it even gets to the guests’ plates.

It can seem overwhelming to put such a concentrated effort on food alone when you have an entire venue to keep running smoothly. But it is certainly a smart business move to do so. Did you know the average cost to dispose of a ton of food waste is $3,600? Our team can help take this burden off your plate.

We use our decades of expertise to focus our efforts on prevention, composting and donation - three key areas of food diversion proven to yield our partners significant cost-savings. To do so, we use data-driven analyses to develop customized minimization plans for hospitality companies with multiple locations. Learn more here.

Additionally, these practices as well as oversight from our in-house compliance manager will help ensure your company’s disposal and recycling processes comply with ever-changing local and federal food waste legislation.

Flexible, Temporary Waste Solutions When You Need Them Most

At NWA, we know your industry has unique demands. Sometimes an event or a particular season ends up being larger and more chaotic than expected, while other times the attendance may fall short.

Trying a one-size-fits-all approach can leave you paying too much for overhead when you don’t need it and will get you gouged for last-minute emergency services when it’s unexpectedly busy.

That’s why we work with you, analyzing your specific waste solution needs at each location and determining the best container sizes and pickup schedules for your sites, while providing quick, convenient and hassle-free temporary waste solutions. Whether you need a few extra roll-off dumpsters, construction of enclosures to prevent unwanted access, or even temporary restroom facilities which we empty and clean regularly. We will develop an effective plan to handle each of your major events.

Avoiding service disruptions and waste overflows is important to ensure your guests don’t look back on their time or stay with your company with regret. For that reason, we also offer our partners access to our 24/7 emergency helpline because we know the hospitality industry is not a 9-5 world.
