Sustainable catering is no longer just a marketing ploy. It is now an expected standard. People want to eat better, waste less, understand where products come from, and support local businesses. And for you, making your establishment more sustainable not only reduces costs, but also strengthens your brand image and allows you to anticipate regulatory requirements.
Committing to sustainable catering is not just an environmental gesture. It is also a powerful business lever. A responsible restaurant stands out, is chosen, and makes people want to come back.
‍
Sustainable catering is based on a balance between environmental impact, nutritional quality, intelligent resource management, and transparency with customers. It's not just about cooking better, but about rethinking the entire production chain, from purchasing raw materials to sorting waste.
In concrete terms, this translates into:
A viable approach, when supported by the restaurant owner and visible to customers.
‍
Visible commitment creates preference, builds loyalty, and improves internal efficiency. It's good for your image and your margins.
Nearly one in two customers prefers a socially responsible restaurant.
Consumers are no longer just looking for a meal; they want an establishment that shares their values. Displaying your commitments on the menu, on your terminals, and on your social media channels builds trust and creates connections.

"It's thanks to Innovorder's technological intelligence that we're able to manage our sales and margins." - Marie and Augustin, founders of Tranché
Waste sorting, plastic reduction, environmental transparency... requirements are changing fast.
Getting ahead of the curve saves you from having to make emergency investments and strengthens your image as a model player.
Being a pioneer means being visible before others.

The transition to a sustainable model is a gradual process. Move forward step by step, starting with high-impact levers.
A sustainable menu always starts on the plate. Promoting short supply chains, offering more plant-based options, choosing certified responsible fishing or farming products... the taste benefits, and so does your identity.
Your menu becomes more recognizable: a clear competitive advantage.
Every kilogram wasted has a direct cost. Food waste accounts for an average of 5 to 14% of a restaurant's material costs. An impact that is invisible until it is measured.
There are many simple actions that can be taken quickly:
With Innovorder, sales analysis, stock alerts, and automatic promotions help you limit losses. A sustainable and more profitable approach.
LED lighting, energy-efficient equipment, water recovery, responsible cleaning products... the savings quickly add up. Training teams helps to create new habits and embed a sustainable culture within an organization.

A sustainable restaurant label reassures customers, builds credibility, and makes a difference both online and in your storefront. It is concrete proof that strengthens trust and highlights your efforts.
Among the existing labels: FIG, Ecotable, Green Food, Label Bio, Clef Verte, Bon pour le Climat, etc.
Display them everywhere: digital kiosks, menus, packaging, social media.
You're not just selling a dish, you're also selling a vision.
‍
