  1. Manage and control food waste.

    PeachWorks is an app that sends alerts to your smartphone when inventory is nearing expiration. Prioritizing the use of labeled foods by the expiry date.

  2. Use only the appliances that you need.

    If you are not using a certain gas appliance, do not have it running, or run it at the lowest setting. This will conserve energy and allow you to use your propane or gas for longer between refueling.

    With your single-use packaging, use paper and cardboard instead of plastic whenever possible. Offer a recycling bin outside your food truck to encourage customers to recycle instead of throwing items out in the garbage.
