This toolkit has been created with you in mind, our city’s hospitality and food service sector businesses, looking to participate in a unique month-long campaign designed to reduce food waste, increase profile and drive profitability.

We’ve put this guide together in collaboration with some of Glasgow’s most loved restaurateurs, chefs and industry leaders who best understand key food waste challenges.

The purpose of this toolkit is to share tips, advice, and resources, making it as simple as possible for venues to create their very own Plate up for Glasgow zero-waste dish or drink. In doing so, our ambition is to create a collaborative movement where businesses can learn together to improve their sustainability – and ultimately become more profitable in the process.

We’ve tried to keep this toolkit concise. In it you’ll find:

• The four parameters of a Plate up for Glasgow 'Food Hero’ dish or drink and plenty of inspirational examples to help get you started
• An example of how your venue would be promoted as part of the campaign
• Three ways to measure the success of the campaign
• Resources to help measure and target food waste
• Inspiring restaurants who have successfully made it their mission to tackle food waste
