Connect’EAT, digital solutions in the service of Newrest’s CSR commitments

Connect’EAT is a web app created internally by Newrest’s IT experts. It offers numerous advantages in the context of mass catering. The application also allows Newrest teams to implement concrete actions to strengthen the group’s corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Better stock and production management thanks to Connect’EAT

Thanks to the online ordering module Order’EAT and crowd sensors present in company restaurants, Newrest chefs can estimate the number of expected or already present guests.

Based on forecasts and received orders, they will be able to adjust the quantities for each dish to be prepared. Connect’EAT thus optimizes the chefs’ work and limits the overproduction of dishes.

The offer perfectly adapts to the demand, even in terms of tastes and preferences. Indeed, beyond overproduction, Connect’EAT allows chefs to better understand guests’ preferences in terms of dishes (fish, meat, vegetarian dishes, etc.). This also reduces the risk of dissatisfaction.

Minimized waste thanks to Save’EAT meal boxes

Despite optimized meal management, it can still happen that some dishes are not consumed during the day. In this case, Connect’EAT offers another solution.

If there are unsold meals, guests can order anti-waste meal boxes through the Save’EAT module.

This solution is advantageous for everyone: guests leave with a complete meal at a reduced price, and the restaurant avoids food waste.

A complete solution for a better customer experience

By adopting Connect’EAT, companies and Newrest can strengthen their CSR commitments by implementing actions against waste and resource management.

In addition to these anti-waste benefits, Newrest’s solutions linked to Connect’EAT allow guests to check the crowd levels and thus dine at a time when there are fewer people. The application allows them to check the menu, know in advance if they will like it, and see if it contains allergens or labeled products. This is an important point as consumers increasingly seek transparency and want to know the origin and labels of the products they consume.

Newrest is committed to reducing food waste, adopting sustainable purchasing practices, and ensuring the health and safety of its employees and guests. The group is continuously improving, and digital technology plays a key role in achieving its objectives.
