Impact of food supply in Yo Sushi
Japanese restaurant

Aims and Objectives
Aim:
To find the best ways of reducing the amount of waste created at Yo
Sushi Restaurant.
Objectives
• To identify the factors that would help in minimizing the amount of
waste created in restaurant.
• To assess the current practices of reducing waste through recycling.
• To be able to recommend better strategies and thus reduce the
amount of waste created within restaurant.

RATIONALE
• Main aim behind selecting this topic is that there is large number of
waste created within Yo Sushi Restaurant which is located at
Waterloo Station, London and thus it needs to be reused or recycled
in such a way that helps in reducing the waste.
• The main problem being faced while carrying out research is to
identify the best ways of minimizing the amount of waste created
within restaurant.

METHODOLOGY
• Research Philosophy: For the following study, researcher will make
use of positivism philosophy as it is well structured and can be used
with quantitative and qualitative approaches of research.
• Research Design: There are several types of research design which
are used by the different researchers in order to carry out their
research. In the following research project, author will aim to use the
descriptive research design.

Cont...
 Research Approach: The research would be conducted through using
qualitative analysis and thus thematic method will be used in order to
identify the best ways of reducing the waste created.
 Data collection and analysis method: Present research could be
conducted through using primary research and thus constructing
questionnaire and providing it to respondents for filling their responses
would help in obtaining the best information

LITERATURE REVIEW
As per the view of (den Boer and et. al., 2016 it can be assessed that
business needs to adopt effective strategy through which amount of
waste could be created within restaurant. Therefore, the food needs to
be saved by adopting different recyclable methods used and thus aims
to minimize the wastage created within restaurant. However, it is
crucial for business to carry out effective methods through which
wastage could be safeguarded and thus minimize the wastage created
within restaurant.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION
• Primary data- In order to collect primary data researchers would
aim to adopt questionnaire method and thus get it filled by sending it
to restaurant owners who are the responses regarding their views on
how wastage could be reduced (Taylor, Bogdan and DeVault, 2015).
• Secondary data- While, there are various secondary data sources
such as online journals, articles, and newspapers that is being used
to obtaining information about the particular topic.
