Figure 1
The horizontal axis is marked with four categories labeled from left to right as follows: “Procurement, stock management and storage,” “Menu and product design,” “Staff and customer engagement,” and “Leftover handling.” The vertical axis ranges from 1 to 7 in increments of 1 unit. The graph shows four lines with circular markers. A legend on the right indicates that the four distinct lines represent different profiles. The first line represents “Profile 1: Full-High F W M,” and begins at (Procurement, stock management and storage, 5.139), decreases gradually through (Menu and product design, 4.988), (Staff and customer engagement, 4.478), and ends at (Leftover handling, 4.253). The second line represents “Profile 2: Full-Low F W M,” and begins at (Procurement, stock management and storage, 4.189), decreases through (Menu and product design, 3.741), (Staff and customer engagement, 3.427), and ends at (Leftover handling, 3.283). The third line represents “Profile 3: Partial-High F W M,” and begins at (Procurement, stock management and storage, 5.252), decreases through (Menu and product design, 4.812), (Staff and customer engagement, 3.973), and then drops sharply to (Leftover handling, 2.119). The fourth line represents “Profile 4: Partial-Low F W M,” and begins at (Procurement, stock management and storage, 4.409), decreases through (Menu and product design, 3.321), (Staff and customer engagement, 2.931), and then drops further to (Leftover handling, 1.588).Food waste management profiles for the 4-profile model.
