Reducing food loss Reviewing the method of selling oden Family Mar 11:53 on January 14
To reduce so-called food loss, FamilyMart, a major convenience store, has reviewed sales of Oden. The company has introduced a method of heating the best-selling ingredients in a microwave oven after receiving an order, which is said to be effective in reducing unsold products and disposal.
According to the method that FamilyMart newly introduced at some stores from the 14th, we prepared a packed package of hot-selling ingredients such as `` radish '' and `` chikuwa '', received orders and warmed it with a microwave You.
Until now, ingredients were prepared in advance in anticipation of the number of products that could be sold in pots exclusively for oden, but after a few hours they were discarded as unsold.
Introducing packed ingredients that warm up after receiving an order can reduce unsold products and disposal, as well as reduce the work involved in preparation and other tasks, thereby reducing the burden on employees.
Tomoaki Kiuchi, Fast Foods Manager at FamilyMart, says, "Reduction of disposal costs will lead to an increase in profits for stores. We would like to consider expanding sales based on sales trends."
In the convenience store industry, efforts are being made to reduce food loss, including increasing the period in which Seven-Eleven can sell by reviewing raw materials and containers, and Lawson developing frozen foods that can be stored for a long time.
