Food waste in restaurants was a major issue with far-reaching environmental, economic,
and social consequences. This research provided a thorough examination of the then-
current state of food waste management in casual dining restaurants in Metro Manila, with
the goal of identifying important concerns and proposing effective, long-term solutions.
This study investigated the fundamental reasons for food waste creation in restaurant
settings, such as overproduction, spoilage, poor portioning, and customer plate waste, using
an extensive literature review, empirical studies, and managerial aspects in terms of
identifying the cause and effect of poor food waste management. Secondly, the research
emphasized the importance of awareness of food waste management through gathering data
about the elements of food waste management in a restaurant: treatment and disposal,
reduction, re-use, recycling, and recovery, connecting to the sustainable value forms, which
are social, environmental, and economical, and educating restaurant employees about
creative ways to reduce waste and practice sustainability within the workplace. Based on
the findings of the study, there was no significant difference between the elements of a
restaurant’s waste management when grouped according to the respondent’s demographic
profile. Moreover, findings revealed that there was a significant relationship between the
elements of a restaurant’s waste management and sustainable value; the correlation n
coefficient (r) was equal to 0.7984, which is a positive correlation, indicating that the
relationship between variables was strong, as we know that the farther the value from zero,
the stronger the relationship. Therefore, the researcher concluded that there was a
statistically significant relationship between the elements of a restaurant’s waste
management and sustainable value. This study investigated managerial ways to mitigate
restaurant food waste through the lens of quantitative research.
