In Brittany, several establishments charge extra to customers who do not finish their plate. The measure is bearing fruit.
Upon entering the restaurant “L’Aigle rouge”, the message is clear: customers must finish their plate, otherwise they will have to pay a supplement of 5 euros. “We take what we need, we go back several times. But I don’t see the point in wasting it”, said a woman. This all-you-can-eat buffet seats around a hundred per service. With the rise in the price of raw materials, employees are even more careful about waste.
10 million tonnes of products per year
Kevin Zhou, the room manager, examines the plates before intervening if necessary. Here, measurement was essential. Sometimes plates full of food were wasted by customers. In Brittany, several restaurants have followed this example to waste less. According to the Ministry of Ecology, food waste represents 10 million tonnes of products per year.
