Restaurants
& cafés.

Standalone restaurants, cafés, and bistros generate moderate but consistent daily food waste. The GR-70 was designed exactly for this segment — Up to 70 kg/day, 40 cm wide, single-phase power.

The reality on the ground

The waste room is overhead.

For a restaurant doing 200–400 covers daily, food-waste collection costs €400–1,200 per month and 1–2 staff hours per day for handling. Refrigerated waste storage occupies prime square metres in already-tight kitchens.

Recommended models

GR-70 · GR-150 by volume.

Frequently asked

Restaurants & cafés — questions.

How much food waste does a restaurant produce per day?

The amount depends strongly on the type of kitchen: canteens and high-throughput venues generate far more residues per guest than fine dining. The model is therefore chosen by measured daily mass, not by guest count: up to 70 kg per day is covered by the GR-70, up to 170 kg by the GR-150. The most reliable approach is to weigh the residues over a typical week.

How much does food waste disposal cost a restaurant?

In Croatia, food-waste collection is charged at roughly 200–500 euros per tonne. In more developed EU countries prices are higher, because collection and logistics drive the cost more than the treatment itself. On top of that come staff time for waste handling and space for refrigerated storage.

Does the machine fit into a small kitchen?

The GR-70 is 40 cm wide and installs beside the dish-pit. It runs on single-phase 220–230 V from a standard socket and requires a connection to the kitchen drain. No separate room is needed.

What changes in the kitchen after installation?

Food residues are processed continuously where they arise, so there is no refrigerated storage of residues and no waiting for collection schedules. The space previously taken by bins is freed up.
