Until recently, he would go through a sack of flour every day, and a significant portion of the bread he baked was discarded when customers didn’t eat it.  \nHotel Monaco  \nThis is just one example of the food waste challenge facing the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Portland, one of ten hotels participating in a national campaign by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the American Hotel and Lodging Association (AH&LA), with support from The Rockefeller Foundation, faced.  \nLocated on S.W. Alder St. in downtown Portland OR, the hotel has 221 guestrooms, 8,226 square feet of meeting / banquet space. The hotel is the home of Red Star Tavern.  \nRed Star Tavern is operated by Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants, as is the hotel, although, per Kimpton operating conventions, each group (hotel and restaurant) reports to a different division of the company.  \nRed Star Tavern is responsible for the restaurant and bar, room service, and all catering / banquet functions; the Director of Catering works with both groups.  \nManagement and workers at Red Star Tavern were enthusiastic and helpful. On a final breakfast visit to the property the server asked oneof the consultants if he wanted jam served with his toast – a clear indicator that food waste concerns have been embedded into Red Star Tavern’s culture. Our key contacts for the pilot, led by Executive Chef Dolan Lane, included Sous Chef Jacob Mickelson, Director of  \nCatering Carole Lombardi, Restaurant Mangers Ashleigh Gall and Jacob Matson, Baker Pedro Ballesteros, Bartender Brandon Lockman, Manager Will Stevens and Allison Ferre, PR. Red Star Tavern is typically led by a General Manager – however, its GM resigned at the end of July, and Chef Lane seamlessly stepped into a dual role for the remainder of the pilot test.  \nThe Pilot Test  \nWWF launched the initiative in March of 2017 with a Guidance document, ordering waste bins, “calibration” weigh-ins, email and  \nphone communication, and a visit from a WWF executive.  \nHotels were given guidance for creating baseline waste measurements, with a target of beginning in late April. Hotels used two types of bins, each distinguished by its color. Yellow bins capture “Pre-Service”  \nExecutive Chef Dolan Lane  \nwaste, such as kitchen prep waste, and green bins capture “Post-Service” waste, food that had been given to guests (via plate or buffet) and that could not be re-used. Baseline measurements would continue for two weeks. Measurements were made by the hotels’ reporting the volume of the bins’ fill by percentage, with WWF converting the volume measurements to pounds.  \nSuccess would be determined by comparing the Pre-Service and Post-Service waste trends to the waste amounts established in the baseline period. Red Star Tavern began its measurements on May 1, using two 44-gallon Brute bins. While the Pilot Test was conducted through June for most hotels, the Monaco test was extended into late October.  \nFinally, WWF encouraged the donations / rescue of (suitable) food that has been prepared but not consumed. And when food waste does occur, WWF encouraged the diversion of food waste through practices such as composting, that would keep food waste out of landfills.  \nThe Roadmap Process  \nWhile the pilot waste measurement methodology was consistent throughout the test, WWF wanted to experiment with some additional types of interventions to study their impact on reducing food waste. Atthe Kimpton Hotel Monaco Portland, WWF wanted to see what impact a customized strategic plan developed at the property level would have on reducing food waste. Facilitated by an outside consulting team, a Food Waste Strategic Road Map was developed for the property in May of 2017.
