In order to save food, the Wuhan Restaurant Association has put forward initiatives such as ordering less than one meal, asking restaurants to prepare packing boxes and using public chopsticks and spoons.
Saving has long been a traditional Chinese virtue, and in order to promote this virtue, the Wuhan Restaurant Association recently proposed a variety of ways to save. There are initiatives for ordering food when many people are eating, ordering less food for one person, for packing after the meal, requesting each restaurant to prepare packing boxes, and for the case of fewer guests, providing half a portion of the dishes initiative, the spirit of savings to the end. For more than one person dining at the same time, the Wuhan Restaurant Association has implemented the mode of ordering less food for one person. For example, there are ten people dining together, in the ordering of food first nine people, this is to avoid waste, sometimes go to dinner according to the number of people ordering food will not be eaten, resulting in a waste, and less a person's food can be more economically, if not enough can be reordered, and do not have to waste. Many businesses used disposable chopsticks in the past, but the Wuhan Catering Association has also proposed using chopsticks when dining, and has asked businesses to do a better job of sterilizing their chopsticks to ensure the safety of their customers. Wuhan Catering Association also requires businesses to prepare packing boxes, when the guests finish their meals and have leftovers, the business should be recommended to the guests to pack the leftovers back, do not cause waste. Some guests in the dining room is very difficult, because the dining room is small, sometimes only two or three people, but would like to eat a few dishes, Wuhan Catering Association also put forward a solution to the problem, in the dining room together with fewer people, you can point to a half of the dishes. This is also to save, to avoid a lot of people want to eat more dishes, more than a few dishes caused by the waste of the situation. With this half-portion approach, guests will not be wasted if they order a few more dishes. From these initiatives, you can see the Wuhan Restaurant Association's efforts to save food.
