An inventory management system can help a hotel reduce costs in several ways:
Reduce food and beverage waste: With an inventory management system, hotels can track the usage of items in their inventory and avoid overstocking. This can help reduce waste and save money by ensuring that the hotel only orders what it needs.
Reduce manual labor: An inventory management system can automate many inventory-related tasks, such as delivery control, issue reporting, stock count, and checking price variations, and expiry dates. This can reduce the need for manual labor and free up staff time for other tasks.
Optimize purchasing: An inventory management system can help hotels optimize their purchasing by keeping track of inventory levels and price variations while providing an overview of turnover time and purchasing needs. This can help hotels avoid stockouts and reduce the cost of rush orders.
Improve forecasting: An inventory management system can provide hotels with real-time data on inventory levels, usage, and trends. This information can help hotels forecast demand more accurately and make more informed decisions.
Prevent theft and loss: An inventory management system can help hotels prevent theft and loss by providing real-time visibility into inventory levels and usage. This can help hotels identify and address issues quickly before they become a bigger problem.
Overall, implementing an inventory management system can help hotels reduce costs and improve efficiency by optimizing inventory levels, digitizing manual processes, and providing real-time data for informed decision-making.
TotalCtrl is an inventory management system that has proven to give good results for hotels and restaurants. We can help your business become more efficient and profitable, with our inventory management technology.
Your chicken or vegetables go bad in the fridge. Or maybe you’ve cooked a bigger portion than you intended, and you know it won’t taste good again the next day.
There is a quick solution. Just throw it away.
Now imagine that happening with billions of people around the world.
And just like that, through a mindless everyday task, you have all contributed to one of the biggest problems in the world: food waste.
But how big of a problem is it? Is it as simple as people throwing food in the garbage?
We’ll cover all things related to food wastein this article. Read on to learn more about:
What is Food Waste and Food Loss (With Examples)
Why Food Waste is a Problem (15+ Food Waste Statistics)
What Are the Causes of Food Waste?
How You Can Help to Reduce Food Waste
What is Food Waste and Food Loss (With Examples)
Food waste is essentially food that was produced or harvested for consumption but is instead thrown away.
When food spoils or expires, it’s not suitable for consumption anymore and gets thrown away. That’s food loss.
So, when you go to a restaurant and don’t finish your plate, the cook will throw your food away. And that’s food waste. Whereas if your broccoli start smelling in the fridge, that’s food loss.
Although food waste management experts use two different terms, both food waste and food loss contribute to food waste.
All the inedible parts of your food, however, like leaves or shells, are not counted. This is because they don’t fit the definition of food waste as “intended for consumption”.
We should note here that both waste and loss happen throughout the entire supply chain. So, there can be waste from the farmer, the restaurant that’s cooking your food, or the grocery store.
The waste that comes from supply chains was put in the spotlight during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since restaurants, canteens, and cafes were closed, all their food inventory went to waste. Thus, they contributed to the creation of already huge mountains of wasted food.

Why Food Waste is a Problem (10+ Food Waste Statistics)
Now that we’ve touched base on what food waste is, let’s discuss how it is harmful.
You may be aware of some of the negative effects of food landfills in terms of space use, but the issues run deeper than you think.
Two of the biggest concerns associated with food waste are CO2 emissions and water waste.
Food Waste Causes Carbon Emissions
Each kilogram of waste contributes to the release of 2.5 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere. And globally, we throw away around 1.3 billion tons of food every year. That’s one-third of the world’s entire food production.
If you’re numerically-savvy, you’ve probably done the math: that’s 3.25 billion tones of CO2 emissions per year. By comparison, the CO2 released from all air conditioning devices around the world amounts to 2 billion tons per year.
Food Waste Leads to Water Waste and Ethical Concerns
As for water waste, 1.3 billion tons of wasted food leads to 45 trillion gallons of water being lost every year. Water is used throughout the entirety of the food production cycle, and when we throw food away, we also waste the water used to produce it.
Food Waste is a Priority for Sustainable Development Goals
Here are some other mind-blowing statistics:
The water used each year to produce food that is lost or wasted is equivalent to the annual flow of Russia’s Volga River, or three times the volume of Lake Geneva.
28% of the world’s agricultural land produces food that is wasted or lost.
The economic impact of food waste is calculated at about 750 billion USD per year.
As we’ve already mentioned, some of the food is wasted before it ever reaches you.
Food waste across the supply chain is more prominent in underdeveloped countries. Whereas in developed countries, most of the waste happens at the retailer and consumer level.
Let’s look more in-depth at some of these different causes.
#1 – Never being harvested
25% of a farmer’s produce is left to rot in the field. This is mainly due to imperfections in the production process.
Consumers and retailers have become increasingly picky about the quality and look of their fruits and vegetables. So, if the product has some imperfections, farmers tend to disregard it completely and let it rot in the fields.

A decrease in demand can also lead to food never leaving the farm. The COVID-19 pandemic, for example, led to a huge drop in demand for fresh fruits and vegetables, both by consumers and grocery stores and restaurants.
So farmers had to let their produce go and not harvest it, leading to tons of wasted food.
#2 – Damaged on the road
Transporting food is harder and more difficult to do than you think. Refrigeration units and big freezers are put in place. But sometimes taking food from point A to point B can damage it in various ways:
Refrigeration units can break or deregulate temperature on the way. With no one to check on their status, they can quickly spoil.
Food can smash into each other or when transported through a bumpy road. This can lead to the packaging of packed foods to break, fruit and vegetables to be damaged, and lots of food to fall out of their containers.
Blame the weather! If it ends up being too hot or too cold that day, food that’s not in temperature-controlled containers can end up being spoiled.
#3 – Thrown out by inspection
Most food never goes directly to grocery stores or restaurants. It usually stops at a distribution facility. There, designated inspectors look at its quality and look for any imperfections.
Even if the food has been lucky enough to survive the long road to their destination, it is now up to facility inspectors to determine its fate if it has suffered a bit of damage.
Once the food inspectors have removed all the unlucky foods, they’ll now be put in another truck to be transported to their next destination.
#4 – Discarded by grocery stores and restaurants
During transportation from the distribution facility to the retailers or restaurants, a heap of damage can happen, which we’ve already discussed.
So, once food reaches its (almost) final destination, it’s also inspected by the grocery stores and restaurants. They throw out any potentially damaged food, which might have been unhealthy to eat, spoiled, or overripen.
Once they’re up for sale in grocery stores, some of them might end up not being purchased by customers before their expiration dates, which leads to food loss.
The food bought by restaurants suffers a similar fate. Restaurants throw away some of the food that expires before serving to customers. And all of the customers’ unfinished meals go in the trashcan too.
#5 – Thrown away by end customers
And now we get to you. As a food purchaser and consumer, you are the end of the chain. However, don’t underestimate your impact.
Imagine that only a portion of the food makes it to your table, once it’s been filtered through the supply chain. And then you end up wasting some of that food as well.
By wasting food, you’re contributing to a large problem, which is threatening our water resources and the quality of air in our environment.

Newday invests a significant amount in TotalCtrl so that the company can realize its growth ambition both nationally and internationally.
In 2020, Ferd bought 75% of the technology company Infotjenester/Simployer, and with a solid profit from the sale and experience from building and scaling software, Trond Stensrud and Bjørn Petter Garder established the investment company Newday. The intention is to reinvest part of the capital from the sale to Ferd in Norwegian growth companies. Their first major venture is now in place.
Through a significant investment in the FoodTech company TotalCtrl – Newday has great faith in strong growth and market opportunities within what we call “Farm to Fork”. TotalCtrl has solutions that can easily improve efficiency, reduce food waste and increase profitability in various parts of the value chain from “farmer to consumer”.
“We have followed the company for a long period, and are happy that we have reached an agreement on capital injection and active ownership in TotalCtrl. We want to apply our operational experience from leading and driving commercial success by taking an active part in creating and shaping new opportunities in exciting companies that have international potential. Through the investment in TotalCtrl, we will together contribute to something as important as reducing food waste and contributing to a better and more transparent food supply chain both in Norway and internationally,” says managing director Trond Stensrud in Newday.
“Today is a big day for us at TotalCtrl. The fact that Newday, through a comprehensive process, has chosen to invest significant amounts and not least to contribute important experience, expertise and passion – means that we can now take the company to a new level. Newday’s investment means that TotalCtrl now has the muscle to grow”, says CEO Charlotte Aschim of TotalCtrl.
In a market where covid, war and climate change have affected access to capital for growth companies, TotalCtrl has experienced the opposite. Interest in joining the capitalization round has been great from both new and existing investors. The result was that the company ended up turning down several national and international investors. In addition to the capital injection from Newday, existing investors have also invested, including Loyal.VC, a recognized VC company headquartered in Canada which has been an investor and important contributor from TotalCtrl’s early days.
TotalCtrl has within a short time become a recognized name within the FoodTech and sustainability space. With a total of 43 awards and recognitions under its belt, and as a certified B corp, the company maintains the highest standards in social and environmental impact globally. Joining the team are well-known companies such as SAP, Atea, Millum, Lightspeed, Avery Dennison and others. On the customer side, we work closely with, among others, Halden municipality, Nordic Choice and Bergstadens hotel – which can show good results in food waste reduction and improved profitability.
In addition to investment from Newday, TotalCtrl has also secured EU funding of NOK 7.5 million, which will go towards further development of the technology.
