Scenario
You are a chef at Acumen Restaurant, and you have been asked by management to improve the restaurant’s electricity
consumption from an environmental sustainability perspective.
The Acumen Restaurant kitchen has an electricity sub-meter, separate from the electricity meter used for the rest of the
restaurant’s premises. The current supplier of electricity is CoalCity, which sells coal power electricity. The most recent
electricity bill for this meter is available in Appendix B.
The management has also recently conducted an audit of the kitchen to identify ineDciencies in:
• Lighting
• Waste management
• Water usage
The report of this audit is available in Appendix C.
Task 1 – Investigate and report on current resource uses and sustainability practices
Part A – Analysis and research

consultations with staff, adherence with EPA guidelines, etc.
assess whether electricity is being purchased according to the green purchasing policy
2. Analyse the latest electricity bill for the kitchen sub-meter (Appendix B) and:
measure the average daily electricity usage for the most recent cycle (April 19), considering the fact that the
restaurant is closed on Mondays
3. Analyse the report of the latest energy consumption audit that the staff have prepared (Appendix C) and:
identify ineDciencies.

Task 4 – Prepare cost beneSt analysis for food waste management
Scenario
You have signed up to donate 10kg of unused food per week to a food rescue group who provides food to those who are
struggling to access nourishing meals.
This will reduce your food waste by 20kg per month.
You have also decided to participate in a food waste collection program.
You have received a price list from Biopak (Appendix F).

Task 4 – Prepare cost beneSt analysis for food waste management
The restaurant manager has asked you to prepare a cost beneUt analysis for participating in a food waste collection
program.
Based on the scenario above, the sustainability audit results in Appendix C and the Biopak information in Appendix F,
conduct the following analysis and record your observations in the space provided:
1. Calculate the weight of food waste generated per month after donations to food rescue. Take the capacity of the
general waste bin as your baseline.
Waste capacity= 30 kg * 2 = a0kg
50% is generally the amount of food waste, so per week it is a0-30 = 30kg
Waste donation= 10kg
Weekly general waste donation= 30kg - 10kg = 20 kg
So for one month it will be 20 kg * 4 week.= h0 kg
*
2. Calculate the monthly cost of sending food waste to landUll as part of the general waste. Consider bin hire and
collection costs.
$12.50/4 = $3.125
Collection of each bin per week
$9 * 4 = $3a
Total rent
$144 + 12.50 =$15a.50
Minus 50%
= 7h.25 (2 bins every week)

*
3. Based on the monthly bin rental, cost per collection, and the estimated weight of food waste, calculate the monthly
cost of sending food waste to Biopak.
Assume that:
you will be hiring one food waste bin from Biopak
food waste will be collected once a week.
$19.50 + GST ($1.95)= $21.45 per week
Collection of 4 weeks
$21.45 * 4 = $h5.h
Monthly rent
$h5.h + $h.a7 = $94.47
*
4. Based on your analysis, make a recommendation for the Unancial feasibility of participating in the food waste
collection program.
Cost of general waste
$7h.25 + $94.47 = $172.72
Bio Pack= $172.72 - $15a.50
=$1a.22
*
5. Brieby describe two alternate beneUts of hiring a bin from Biopak that might offset the costs associated.
Following are the two alternative beneUts
- BeneUt regarding the image of the company
- Environmental beneUts
Submission guidelines
At the end of this task, submit your responses in this assessment. You may prepare your responses as a separate typed
document attached to this assessment.

Finally, the leakage among all the taps within the workplace will be reviewed by which we can easily come to save lots of water.
On the other hand, all the staff members are informed to apply FIFO rule within the workplace which means Urst in and Urst out,
and at the time of cooking food try not to waste any ingredient or burn any food item.
It is my humble request to every staff members to please follow this plan, and share your opinion.

Task X – Monitor implementation
Scenario
It is now three months since you implemented your sustainability plan.
These are the outcomes of your plan:
Electricity:
You have received an electricity bill for the last quarter (after you implemented your plan) for $3,317.93
(excluding GST).
You have used 13,921.3h0 kWh of electricity over the last three months, which averages to about 17h kWh per
day.
This is only a 2.7% improvement over your previous bill and does not meet the target you had set.
Water:
You have achieved a 1.7% saving on your water bill since you Uxed the leaky taps and installed a new bush
system.
Waste:
Over the last three months, you have sent only 5.3 m3, or a92 kg of waste to landUll.
You have reduced your quarterly landUll waste by nearly 50%.
You have reduced food or organic waste going to landUll by 95%.
You have been able to advertise a zero food waste target on social media, and have received positive feedback
from customers.
Task X – Monitor implementation
Part A
Compare the results above to the targets you had set in Tasks 1, 2 and 3.
Then, conduct another meeting with the chef and restaurant manager (whom you had met with in Task 2) and discuss the 3
month results of your sustainability plan.
During the meeting you must:
identify the areas in which you have met your targets or are close to meeting your targets, and the areas in which
there is still a large scope for improvement
identify the strategies that have not produced the desired result
present an alternate strategy or action to achieve target
seek input from your colleagues on new techniques or strategies that can be applied to meet targets
discuss how long it might take to achieve target based on new actions
