This waste of leftovers is particularly prominent in China.
Because, compared with westerners, we China people have more face! Everyone thinks that when eating in a restaurant, the more dishes you order, the more dishes you have left. It is the feeling of super face, super local tyrant! Even if I have money, I will order two abalones and eat one and keep the other. I am not convinced! !
Pack up the leftovers after dinner? -most people really don't have this habit! Moreover, the more upscale restaurants and restaurants, the more crowded places, the less likely it is to pack leftovers!
Then the question is, how does the restaurant handle the leftover food every day?
—— Discard it directly and pour it into the blue sewage bucket, which is the routine choice of 50% hotels.
In fact, the hotel has another hidden treatment:
Liang Dong, who worked as a chef in a star-rated hotel in Jinan and engaged in catering industry 17, revealed the mystery for us. Leftover recycling is a hidden rule in the industry. High-end star-rated hotels are even more "veterans on the road". No matter what dishes are served, as long as the guests put less chopsticks, the chef will send them to the table after returning to the furnace, "to ensure that there is no flaw."
In this way, the daily profit of the hotel can be increased by 5000 yuan, reaching 1000 yuan, or even more. Don't let the guests see the flaw, it's actually a piece of cake to return the leftovers to the furnace!
He said that for high-end hotels, ordinary dishes will not return to the furnace, because hotels do not value this profit, and expensive dishes such as seafood and private kitchens will return to the furnace. Sometimes, the last dish ordered by a guest has not been touched by chopsticks, which is the hotel's favorite. The hotel will heat it and sell it to the guests who order this dish. Braised sea tiger wings, if guests only eat a few pieces. Well, it's easiest to deal with a few pieces missing and a few pieces added. Lobsters are easier to handle. If you eat two, you can make up two, and serve them after heating them up. There is no flaw!
However, today's article focuses on boasting about the restaurant's third choice for leftovers!
Pappadavada is a very special restaurant in India. This restaurant not only attracts many customers with its delicious food, but also warms the hearts of people all over the world with a refrigerator. One night, Pauline saw a homeless woman rummaging for food in the trash can in front of her restaurant. This incident deeply touched Pauline. She thought, why not give them the wasted food? So the restaurant decided that instead of throwing out the good leftovers every day, it would be better to put them in the refrigerator at the door so that people in need can get them for free. No waste, no one will go hungry. She fills this refrigerator with leftovers every day and gives them to all those who pass by in need. Influenced by her loving behavior, many citizens will also add food to the refrigerator.
This refrigerator is open 24 hours a day. Anyone can take food at any time, no one will ask you any questions, and feed many people every day. More and more good people put food in the refrigerator, and Pauline will remind everyone to mark the delivery date to avoid food spoilage. Pauline said, "money is your own, but resources belong to the whole society." When you waste money, you are wasting your own money, but you are also wasting the resources of the whole society. "
Seeing this, I wonder if the restaurant owners in our country have been touched at all. There are homeless street children, beggars and disabled artists. . . . So many, can the hotel owner warm strangers with love like this Indian proprietress?
