How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: Michelin Green Star-style 7-criterion sustainability scorecard

Bring

• tablet/clipboard
• camera
• scale (waste weighing scope)
• 7-criterion rubric

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the site + address; arrange a staff escort for back-of-house.
2. 2. Photograph evidence for each criterion: sourcing, waste stream, energy, water, procurement records, seasonality, team practices.
3. 3. Score each of the 7 criteria against the rubric with an evidence note.
4. 4. For a waste audit, weigh or estimate food waste for one service and identify recovery/donation options.
5. 5. Rank the highest-impact improvement recommendations.
6. 6. Enter scores, evidence notes, waste data, recommendations, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Food-safety or hygiene hazard observed -> note and defer to staff; documentation only.
• Significant edible waste -> recommend the EPA Food Recovery Hierarchy (donation before disposal).

What counts as done

• Score recorded for each of the 7 criteria with an evidence note
• Food-waste weight/volume recorded (waste-audit scope)
• Recovery/donation options identified (waste scope)
• Ranked improvement recommendations + photos + address confirm

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
