Waste Logs help you accurately track known waste for more insight into your restaurant. By entering Waste Logs, you can view the Operational impact by analyzing the Actual vs. Theoretical Report and the Financial impact by crediting the Cost acccount the amount of dollars wasted and debiting the Waste account.

Users with the following Primary Security Roles can enter a Waste Log:

• Full Access
• Accounting Manager
• Restaurant Manager

Users with the following Security Roles can Approve Waste Logs:

• Accounting Manager (Primary)
• Approve Waste Logs (Secondary)

Waste Logs can be entered on either the Desktop Browser or the R365 Classic App. Previously entered Waste Logs can be viewed on the Inventory Transactions grid in the 'Operations' module or the All Transactions grid.

Ensure that all necessary items are setup correctly first, including choosing a Waste account on the 'Inventory Cost' tab that connects financially to your Waste Logs. For restaurants that only use Waste Logs for Operational reports and not Financial reports, enter the same Cost account as the Waste account. Consult with your internal team to confirm which method works better for your group.

If a Recipe needs to be entered as a Waste Log, ensure that you mark it as 'Available in Inventory' on the 'General' tab and enter in the correct Waste account on the 'Inventory Cost' tab.

Your items and Recipes are now setup to be used on Waste Logs!
