5 ways to be sustainable in a restaurant:

• Ingredients should be seasonal
• Quality of appliances should be good that reduce turn around time
• Food should not be wasted, only that amount of food should be made as per need only.
• Proper training should be provided to the workers in the restaurant.
• Customer satisfaction should be on the priority list along with the sustainability of the restaurant.

There should be a goal when the restaurant opens daily, when we try to follow the directed guidelines then we will not waste our time and also when the time will be saved then also the money measurement will surely get affected. Guidelines should be made by keeping in mind the sustainable products used in the restaurant that can make the restaurant eco friendly also.

For example Green Restaurant:

It is a certification that provides the restaurants to be an eco-friendly restaurant. It provides certification on the basis of seven points which must be eco-friendly as well. Seven points are the efficiency of water, recycled waste, eco-friendly material for making buildings and furniture, eco-friendly food, energy should be saved, chemical-free products, reduced pollution.
