Food Waste Reduction Service Kit
ChongQing UniversityCurrent solutions to restaurant food waste overemphasize consumer behavior while neglecting the crucial role of staff, and remain unaffordable for small restaurants. Through participatory design with employees and customers, we co-developed a reusable, cost-effective service kit grounded in behavioral theory. It integrates over ten flexible components—table cards, commitment stickers, menu test cards, storage labels, and training games—that guide food waste behavioral change across key touchpoints. Validated in over 20 small restaurants, the toolkit achieves an average food waste reduction exceeding 20%, demonstrating tangible outcomes.
