Hospitality sites usually create a mix of general waste, packaging, recyclables, and the constant pressure of keeping back-of-house areas usable while service is still running.
That makes timing, access, and storage feel much more important than a simple weekly volume estimate.
The better setup usually depends on how busy the site gets, how much room there is behind the scenes, and whether collections need to happen around prep, service, and close-down rather than in the middle of them.
A quieter cafe and a busier city restaurant can both need recurring support, but the service pattern that works for them may be completely different.
