Food Wastage

Track and reduce food waste — and stay legally compliant

In-service and in-prep wastage tracking plus the mandatory food waste separation log introduced by March 2025 regulations.

What it is

Food wastage tracking in Yumee covers two distinct areas: operational wastage (in-service and in-prep) for cost management insights, and the mandatory food waste separation log required by the Food Waste Separation Regulations March 2025 for businesses producing over certain thresholds of food waste.

How it works

1

Log in-service wastage

During service, log any food items that are wasted — wrong orders, dropped items, unsold dishes. Quantities and costs are tracked.

2

Log in-prep wastage

During preparation, log trim waste, spoilage and over-preparation. Linked to menu items for accurate costing.

3

View wastage analytics

Analytics dashboard shows your top wasted items, cost per week and trends over time.

4

Food waste separation log

Log food waste separated by type (food organic, packaging, mixed) with weight in kg. Satisfies March 2025 regulations.

Why it matters

Food waste costs the UK hospitality industry billions each year. Better tracking leads to better purchasing decisions — and less waste. The March 2025 Food Waste Separation Regulations also create a new legal compliance requirement for the first time.
