BetterTable™ Food Audit
Why do you need a food audit?
Optimize Your Food & Beverage Operations
Rising food costs and inflation are squeezing margins. Every kilogram of wasted food is money down the drain — lost food cost, extra disposal fees, and wasted labor. A targeted food audit uncovers inefficiencies across the kitchen and service so you can keep menu prices steady, protect margins, and meet new sustainability expectations.
The bottom line? A food audit can help identify these inefficiencies and enhance your business's profitability.
What our food audit does for hospitality leaders
- Quickly reduce food costs by 2% ($10+K per year, per restaurant)
- Reduce food waste by 30% within 6 months
- Keep menu prices steady
- Attract new guests
- Easy way to train teams
- Get sustainability marketing
- Easy way to comply with coming regulations

Before the audit
We begin with a personalized intake to understand your expectations and maximize benefits. Your culinary team will participate in our online training, culminating in the collection of BetterTable™ Certificates upon successful completion of the exam. This course equips your staff with essential skills in food efficiency, ensuring they are fully prepared for the food audit.

During the audit
We visit your F&B operation and attend every meal (from breakfast to dinner, if applicable) from the beginning until the end of the service. Every finished plate gets weighed and visually observed for a period of 1 to 3 days. Key leaders are also interviewed with the BetterTable™ Card Game. The carbon footprint of your food is quantified.

After the audit
You receive a custom-made report with all the data collected during the audit. You will get valuable insights and actionable recommendations that can dramatically boost your profit margins and lower your food cost by 2 points within a month.
Output results align with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals!
