The smaller your dumpster the more profitable you are?  While there are a lot of factors that affect profitability, waste is a big one!  These chapters deal with trash, recycling, oils and grease, ingredient loss, recipe mistakes, excess food thrown away, theft and errors that can cost a restaurant dearly.
