Food Delivery Apps Are Drowning China in Plastic

Asking customers to wash plates for your business sounds like a food safety violation waiting to happen. I'd skip that part.

Also be sure to either make the reusable utensils/plates very visually unappealing or factor their cost into the delivery; if you provide them as any sort of loss-leader you may find yourself as much a provider of inexpensive tableware as you are a provider of food.

No one says the business can't wash the plates themselves as well.

Then why pay the customer to do it too?

Some foods become harder to remove if they've dried. Doing a first initial cleaning speeds up the second cleaning.

Violation in the US, maybe not in China.
