Tristan - simply stating, the examples and what is commonly referred to as an ongoing consumable did not appear to address restaurant consumables. If you believe that this is indeed the correct place to document, I can entertain that, but I just wanted you know why I was unsure: Sustainable Purchasing of Ongoing Consumables
The term “ongoing consumables” refers to low-cost-per-unit materials that are regularly used and replaced through the course of daily business operations. These products may include, but are not limited to: printing and copying paper, notebooks, envelopes, business cards, sticky notes, paper clips, toner cartridges, and batteries."

Nate, I would refer you to a few things. One, the language "may include, but are not limited to."Two, the LEEDuser FAQ above under "The credit language says we need to track paper (printing or copy paper, notebooks, notepads, envelopes), toner cartridges, binders, batteries and desk accessories. Is that everything we have to track for this credit?"Three, the heading above, "Here’s what to track."Basically, LEED recognizes that every project has different kinds of consumables, so it's not trying to limit you just to typical office items.
