Why owners look for this

Waste is invisible until it is measured

If nobody logs it, nobody can reduce it.

Paper logs do not get filled in

A clipboard by the bin loses to a busy service.

You do not know which items cost the most

Without totals by item and reason, effort goes to the wrong place.

See where the money goes

Totals by item and reason show you where to act first.
