This end-of-night food waste checklist helps restaurant teams record unsold or discarded menu items at close. Capture details such as date, preparer, location, and specific items like nuggets, strips, filets, bacon, and soup to understand what is being wasted and why. Use it to note portions, reasons for discard, and any corrective actions to reduce waste, improve ordering and prep levels, and support sustainability goals. The template is a practical starting point for establishing nightly waste logs, staff accountability, and continuous improvement in kitchen operations.
