The kitchen i worked at hired a manager to straighten things out after a change of ownership. Immediately, they implemented no free meals for FoH staff, only a 10% staff discount. Everyone immediately stopped getting anything besides sides because the food was absurdly overpriced. You know I fed those soldiers under the table whenever I had the chance.

Businesses that have gone corporate tend to be the strictest when it comes to giving out food. I’ve had coworkers fired for eating food that was about to go into the trash. These big corps rather you starve and waste the food. It’s so sad.

More than half the restaurants I have worked at would fire us for giving away food like that and the worst part is they always took it home or threw it on the trash

Used to work and we are supposed trash the food at the end, but the staff just packed up food to take home throwing whatever they couldn't take which pretty much means we never threw food away

Why companies in America would rather throw away food: if you make a habit of giving food to workers to take home, then they will constantly make extra food, wasting inventory.

a FOH and BOH that look after each other is just better all around. Makes the work easier, makes worker retention better, and the customers will know it too

In my kitchen we make our servers and bartenders food every day. We always make sure everybody's fed.

Very good point. Your next step in your career is to understand that they're not customers, they're your guests.

And in America you get screwed for doing anything other than trashing leftovers lol.

Volume of specific orders can be unpredictable, especially if you’re working with a larger menu. Some days you sell out, and some days you don’t sell enough. But rather than throw away food at the end of service, check if FOH wants anything to take home.
In business, we have both external customers, and internal customers. Both need to be taken care of in order to succeed. A lot of little things done wrong, can make a bad experience. A lot of little things done right, can make a great experience.
