Hypothesis 2 postulates that hotel guests generate more food waste at the first breakfast after arrival. The reason for this hypothesis is that people who come to the buffet the first time may try a few different food items but find that they do not like some of them. The unwanted items are left behind. The next day, the guests already know which items not to put on the plate, thus avoiding the plate waste of the first day. Hypothesis 2 is not confirmed by the analysis. As can be seen in Table 2, the variable capturing arrival has been eliminated during the backward stepwise selection procedure using the AIC as criterion.
