Food Waste Is a Global Crisis — Tiponline POS Helps Halal Restaurants Be Part of the Solution

Food waste is one of the most overlooked problems in the food industry — yet its impact is enormous.

Every year, millions of tons of perfectly edible food are thrown away. In the United States alone, around 60 million tons of food are wasted annually — enough to feed hundreds of millions of people. In Canada, the number is just as staggering: over 50 million tonnes wasted each year, costing billions of dollars in losses.

But the cost of food waste goes far beyond economics.
It’s a humanitarian and environmental crisis.

While food is discarded daily in restaurants and homes, millions of people — in those same cities — go without a meal. Globally, over 800 million people suffer from hunger. That means while some food is wasted, others simply don’t have access to it.

And the environment pays the price, too.
Food waste is responsible for about 10% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions — more than the entire aviation industry. Wasting food also means wasting the water, land, fuel, and energy that went into growing, producing, and transporting it.

A Moral Responsibility in Halal Hospitality

For those running Halal restaurants, food waste is not only a business concern — it’s a religious and ethical issue.
Islam encourages responsibility, conservation, and respect for the blessings of food.

“Eat and drink, but waste not by excess, for Allah does not love the wasters.” — Qur’an 7:31

Every time food is thrown away, it represents a missed opportunity to help others, to reduce costs, and to honor Islamic principles.
