Good practices to reduce food waste during the festive season

25 November 2025

During the festive season, the increased volume of seasonal products and operational activity can lead to food waste if effective storage and preservation strategies are not adopted. Minimising losses is essential to protect food quality, guarantee food safety and optimise costs in professional kitchens, supermarkets and other catering businesses.

Organised storage with cold cabinets

Jimo's cold cabinets make it possible to organise products efficiently, facilitating stock rotation and ensuring that the oldest items are consumed first. Well-structured storage helps reduce wastage and keeps products accessible to staff at all times, even during periods of increased pressure.

Temperature control to maintain freshness

Keeping food at the right temperature is essential to prolong freshness and prevent losses. Jimo refrigeration cabinets ensure precise and uniform regulation, allowing products to remain safe and of high quality throughout the busiest periods.

Good operating practices

To complement the use of reliable cabinets, it is important to apply good practices:

  1. Monitoring expiry dates and stock rotation (FIFO).
  2. Planning orders based on expected demand.
  3. Separate products by type and use, facilitating inventory management.

Business benefits

Adopting quality cold storage cabinets and efficient storage practices makes it possible:

  1. Reducing food losses and waste.
  2. Maintain operational efficiency even at peak times.
  3. Ensuring product safety and freshness, reflected in customer satisfaction.
