New blog to discuss restaurant sustainability

October 20, 2009

Sustainable Foodservice Consulting, publisher of the Web site, sustainablefoodservice.com, has announced the launch of its new blog, The Sustainable Shift Drink.

The blog covers a variety of topics concerning sustainability in the foodservice industry, including local and organic food, energy efficiency, green foodservice products, innovative restaurants, industry trends, national news and more. The blog also offers commentary on current issues, advice on foodservice operations, features guest writers and allows readers to post their comments.

"There are literally thousands of food blogs out there and quite a few people writing about the foodservice industry, but this will be the only blog on the Web focusing on green foodservice operations," SFC owner and principal consultant Paul Kuck said. "I want to use the blog as a way to keep our clients and others continually striving for improvement.Besides the slow food movement, it has taken a while for the foodservice industry to really grab onto the sustainability concept. We want the blog to be a quick, easy way for people in the industry to access information from those working and learning in the field."

The Web site also provides tools such as energy calculators, energy tracking spreadsheets and other downloadable forms and checklists to help businesses implement sustainable practices.
