Food wastage tracking
Log spoilage and prep wastage with quantities/value so stock and food cost stay honest.
Food & beverage · Academy
What this section is
Wastage records food that never reached a paying guest: spoilage, trim, burnt batches, expired dairy. Log it the same day and deduct stock where the process requires — silent binning hides margin problems.
In the owner dashboard
Open Food wastage tracking under Listing / Property after you claim a stay. Same vocabulary as Help Academy.

Do this
Step-by-step
-
Open Wastage
Food & beverage → Kitchen & bar → Wastage. Create an entry: item, qty, reason, approximate value.
India example: Spoilage 2 kg tomatoes ₹80 · deduct stock. -
Choose an honest reason
Spoilage / prep waste / overproduction / damage — not a vague “misc”. Attach shift if useful.
India example: Overproduction — wedding buffet surplus soup. -
Review trends
Weekly: which items waste most? Fix purchasing pars, recipes, or storage — not only blame staff.
India example: Herbs wasting every Mon → reduce order size.
Tips
Photograph large wastage events if your SOP asks for proof. · Do not use Wastage to hide free staff meals — those belong in Billing discounts/comps.
Common mistakes
Never logging wastage then wondering why Kitchen stock never matches the shelf.

Who is involved
Chef · Storekeeper
Binning without Wastage makes Kitchen stock and food cost lie.

| 2 | Deduct/adjust stock per your process | Shelf and system align. |
| 3 | Note for purchasing: reduce next order | Less repeat waste. |
