From Roof to Restaurant: Starting an On-site Restaurant Garden
Rooftop gardens are popular these days not just for residential buildings, but for commercial buildings as well. You might want to invest in a rooftop garden for your restaurant for the ease, value and for helping your bottom line.
They’re starting to pop up all over the country: restaurants that implement a multi-tiered solution to some of these environmental, community and profit margin problems. Their answer: rooftop and on premises urban gardens.
Sounds kinda radical right? Believe it or not, this green movement solution incorporates more benefits than problems, and will literally change the face of your community, your environment and of course, your business—all at the same time.
Can’t Compost? Think Again! Commercial Composting Options for Your Restaurant
Industrial waste removal services charge by how much waste they carry away—and the garbage removal costs are rising. Landfills are filling up at a steadily increasing rate as populations grow. But did you know that there are several environmentally-friendly, cost-efficient ways to reduce your food waste?
The best option may be commercial composting. Composting is an increasingly popular trend in the restaurant industry for a lot of reasons, but many restaurants are unable to compost on-site in an effective manner due to space restrictions, time and labor involved, or even due to a lack of general composting knowhow. Restaurants produce a lot of organic waste, and unless they are able compost on-site, the only other option used to be to just throw it all away.
However, most cities around the country now have a commercial composting service, which means you can compost your food waste —even if you can’t swing it on-site.
