FOOD WASTE

A real-world industry challenge

Food waste isn't just an environmental issue, it's a profitability, efficiency, and trust issue across Australia’s foodservice supply chain.

Each year, Australia produces over 7.6 million tonnes of food waste, costing the economy more than $36 billion. For foodservice businesses, this waste isn’t just scraps. It’s time, labour, packaging, freight, and opportunity - lost.

At FoodLogic, we work with suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and associations to uncover the systems, strategies, and behaviours that can reduce food waste, without compromising quality or service.

We don’t just talk about waste.
We work on it.

Our approach is practical and deeply embedded in foodservice operations.

We support industry groups and businesses to:

  • Understand the full cost of waste - from spoilage to over-ordering

  • Design and implement fit-for-purpose waste reduction strategies

  • Improve visibility and tracking across supply chain touchpoints

  • Communicate sustainability in ways that build buyer trust

  • Build team capability with tools, training, and operational support

We draw on:

  • Industry research and data

  • Real-world operator experience

  • Proven frameworks that consider logistics, labour, and product flow

  • Communication strategies that turn sustainability into sales impact

Why it matters

Foodservice businesses operate on tight margins. Any inefficiency, including waste, directly impacts the bottom line.
In a recent R&CA survey:

91% of foodservice teams reported a desire to reduce food waste, but fewer than 1 in 4 felt equipped to lead those changes.

We’re here to change that. Whether you’re a venue group, distributor, or industry body, FoodLogic offers hands-on support to create real change, not just greenwashing.

Work with us

FoodLogic is proud to contribute to national food waste reduction efforts, including supporting initiatives led by the Restaurant & Catering Association (R&CA). We're currently partnering with industry on practical strategies to align with Australia's National Food Waste Strategy 2030.

If your business or organisation is ready to reduce food waste in a way that actually works on the ground, let’s talk.
