Food Forward process

You will schedule a site visit for Food Forward coaches to come to your business. Food Forward coaches will conduct a site visit at your business.

After the visit, coaches will make a report to help your restaurant reduce food waste. The site visit report will include tips and next steps to help you take action.

Lead staff from your business will take part in a 1.5-hour enrollment training session. This training will help you get ready to take part in the Food Forward program.

You will review your personalized recommendations from your site visit report. You then commit to a plan of action.

The Food Foward coaches will support you along the way. We will connect you to resources to help you put your selected strategies into action.

Learn new strategies through simple, online learning classes to:

• Train staff on wasted food prevention
• Increase kitchen efficiency
• Manage scraps and surplus food

Commit six weeks to using the strategies you chose. You will get five free coaching hours to support and guide your restaurant to success.

To finish the challenge, you will:

• Have a final meeting to look back on what you’ve accomplished
• Receive compensation for participating and a certificate of completion
