316. How to Feel Good About Food Waste - Jack Rasmussen

Restaurant Rockstars Podcast

For all the love we put into our business and the joy we provide our guests, unfortunately, one of the downsides is food waste. This bothered me when I owned restaurants, and with the widespread hunger in our country, it still does. Imagine if every restaurant, yours included could be part of the solution and not the problem! In this episode of the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast, I’m speaking with Jack Rasmussen an inspired guy with a solution to the restaurant food waste crisis. Besides being a business scholar, entrepreneur and author, Jack Rasmussen has made it a mission to feed the homeless. Restaurants are at the very heart of the answer. Listen as Jack tells us: 👉 How he co-founded “Good Samaritans”, a Los Angeles non-profit that feeds the homeless 👉 His brainchild for “FoodMate” which collects un-used food from restaurants and distributes via food truck to people in need on the streets 👉 How your operation can minimize food waste by working with local foodbanks and get tax credit for donations 👉 Board of Health regulations concerning food waste and donations And we talk about Jack’s new book “Fine Dining, The Secrets Behind the Restaurant Industry”, his distance learning platform “Screen 360TV” that raises cultural awareness for kids, teaching English in Taiwan and MORE! This guy does it all! Watch or Listen to this episode and then go out there and Rock YOUR Restaurant! Roger 🌟 SRV - Unlock Staff Potential and Maximize Sales.
