Answer:We follow several ethical practices, such as, health and safety regulations as outlined by the New Zealand government, labour protection regulations, minimum wage laws as per the industry standard, and providing provisions to the employees to maintain worklifebalance.Wealsomaintainstrictguidelines,rulesandregulationsforany misconduct, such as, theft, behavioural misconduct, harassment to co-workers, unnecessary wastage of food and inventories and other resources and any unfair practices. 2)Please explain a situation in inventory and waste management in which you faced an ethical dilemma. Answer:I face this situation quite often. In this industry, the level of raw and prepared food waste is quite high. However, this results in loss of food as well as money. I have faced challenges like many inventories were not used within their labelled dates due to lack of demand, that is, lack of customer footfalls. However, the inventories, such as, the breads, cheese, sauces etc. were in good condition and hence, it was an ethical dilemma for me whether to throw those away or to keep those for another 2-3days. In such situation, keeping in mind the health and safety regulations and nutritional guidelines, I have no option than to throw those inventories away. I understand that this is a waste of food and money but at the same time, I cannot take risks with the customers’ health. 3)What measures are taken to avoid situations like above in the future? Answer:I have proposed to implement waste audit system to keep a check on the wastes and use predictive analysis to get a forecast of the potential demand at least for the next one week. This system will take some time to perform efficiently, however, if the forecasts can be made timely, some percentage of the inventory waste can be reduced.
