Driven by the desire to increase efficiency and reduce waste, food & beverage services company Compass Group implemented a recipe management solution that provides carbon emissions information for each dish to allow businesses to reduce carbon footprint.

By tracking the ingredients used in each recipe, the solution can provide customers with an estimate of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with each dish. This information can be used to make informed decisions about which recipes to keep on the menu and which ones to replace.

Moreover, the recipe management solution allows organisations to easily track the nutritional information of each dish, including calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates. It also provides an allergens management feature that can help identify and manage allergens in each dish. This can be especially important for customers with food allergies or sensitivities.

In addition to these tangible benefits, Compass Group has also noticed a marked improvement in the overall quality of dishes. Our chefs can now be more adventurous with new recipes and flavour combinations, safe in the knowledge that they can easily monitor and replicate successful dishes.

This effect minimises food wastage and saves costs in the process.

Compass Group’s innovative solution that features efficiency, waste reduction, and quality improvement has been recognised by the HKB Technology Excellence Awards as it clinches the win in the Information Management – Food & Beverage category.

“Overall, we are proud of the hard work that went into implementing this solution and are eager to see the continued positive impact it will have on our business. We believe that the additional features we offer, such as carbon emissions information, nutrition information, and allergens management, can help to further enhance our operations and provide even better service to our customers,” Compass Group Hong Kong’s Head of IT & Digital Solutions Steven Lee said.
