What do restaurants do with leftovers?

In life, when we go to a restaurant to eat, we will find that sometimes we order a large table of dishes, but no one eats them at all and no one packs them. So, I don't know if you've ever wondered where all these leftovers have gone. What exactly do people in restaurants do with leftovers?

Generally speaking, leftovers will be thrown away. Some people will be confused about this. Why should such a good dish be dumped? Can't you eat by yourself? First of all, because the hotel has rules and regulations, waiters are not allowed to pack leftovers privately, because if they are seen by other guests, it will greatly affect the image of the whole hotel. You know, when we go to a restaurant for dinner, we will look at the whole hotel.

If a waiter packs the leftovers of the guests, it will make us feel that this restaurant has recently paid little attention to its image and hygiene. Of course, there is another important reason why waiters don't pack guests' leftovers, which is about hygiene. You know, people who eat in restaurants are very miscellaneous. It can be said that there are all kinds of people. No one knows if the guests who eat have infectious diseases. What should I do if I get an infectious disease because I eat other people's leftovers? Therefore, not eating leftovers is also for health.

Sometimes the leftovers are not dumped directly, but poured into a fixed bucket and then collected by people. These are some farmers. They may have a livestock farm and need leftovers to feed the animals. However, this is a minority after all, and there is a great chance that the leftovers in the restaurant will be dumped, so we don't have to doubt the cleanliness of the hotel at all.
