From the PAII newsletter: Keeping track of food waste - (Exceedingly boiled down version)
Men use more maple syrup than women, but they leave most of it on the plate. (This is totally true in this house.) Women use about 2 oz of syrup to a man's 4 oz pour. This one B&B saved over $1200/year by putting smaller pitchers of syrup on the table. 4 oz pitcher down from 6 oz.
I think this is good info. You do tend to use what's there.
But I wonder if they checked the plates to see if the women got ANY syrup after the change. ;-)
We put out an 8 oz bottle with a pour spout. It slows down and directs the pour which has decreased the amount being used while still looking like you've got a lot of syrup. But there is still a lot of syrup on the plate when the plate comes back to the kitchen.
