Description of problem
Description
The problem we are currently facing is with the high level of waste stock on our pick and mix sweet counter.
The pick and mix is a self service sweet counter, where the customers choose various sweets and mix them into a bag to purchase, this is then weighed to determine the price at the till. Once sweets are mixed up in a bag but not sold, as the sweets are all different varieties, some sugar coated, icing sugar, mallow and indeed some containing nuts, they become waste.
