an all you can eat restaurant,
and seen dinners leaving food to be thrown away on their plates, well here is a novel idea from Yuoki, a sushi restaurant in Stuttgart, Germany,
dinners seated at a table and are provided with iPads which they
can use to order up to five small dishes every ten minutes, you can eat as
much as you want for 120 minutes, but having the food delivered at short
intervals allows you to constantly assess how hungry you are and order
accordingly, preventing food waste,
owner Luan Guoyu believes our “eyes are bigger than our
stomachs”, so he believes that not being able to see the cooked food at the buffet prevents
people from ordering more food that they can actually eat just because they
like the way it looks, but Luan Guoyu’s most effective way of fighting food
waste, and the one that has attracted media attention, is his €1 ($1.15) fine for
food still left on the plate, “It’s called ‘all-you-can-eat,’ not
‘all-you-can-chuck-away,’ he says, adding that the extra charge is not meant to
increase his profits, but to act as a reminder not to waste food, in the two
years since Yuoki implemented this “eat up or pay up” policy, Guoyu claims he
has collected €900 ($1,020) to €1,000 ($1,133) in food waste fees, and now the
good news, he plans to donate the fees to charity.
