Record, track, and reduce food waste easily and reliably
Food waste causes significant costs for professional kitchens. Under the guidance of restaurant management, the staff strives to reduce losses. Cost efficiency can be improved with the help of the Food Waste Tracker by monitoring where the highest costs arise and by taking targeted measures to reduce the waste. The solution is also a good tool for food consumption assessment, as it can be used to record the amount of production and serving in addition to wastage.
It is possible to achieve remarkable savings yearly. At the same time, the carbon footprint of the restaurant is also reduced. Do you know the amount and value of food loss in your restaurant?
Save staff time!
Forget pen and paper, automate routines.
Kitchen staff is usually busy and the traditional way of recording waste on paper or in an Excel spreadsheet takes too much time. The collected data is therefore often very incomplete and the true amount of waste is not known. The Food Waste Tracker is an easy-to-use, real-time, and accurate solution for tracking and analyzing food waste.
Food Waste Tracker is used to monitor the overall amount of food waste (kg), the value (€ or other currency) and the carbon footprint (kgCO2e). The total amount and impact of food waste can, for example, be seen with one view from all monitored service points. The data can be sorted by food waste categories and examined by selecting desired time periods.
The soltution is also a good tool for food consumption assessment, as it can be used to record the amount of production and serving in addition to wastage.
Optimize production.
Take waste into account when planning the menu.
FoodWasteTracker can retrieve the day’s menu from the menu application used by the kitchen, for example POS or production planning systems. The meal items from the menu are automatically displayed on the waste scale for recording the waste. The amount of food waste is analyzed individually for each meal item. Waste data can also be transferred directly to the production planning system. The next time you plan to prepare the meal in question, you will know the correct production amount based on the previous waste data. The amount of food that goes to waste can be significantly reduced.
Plate Waste app
The Plate Waste app is part of the Food Waste Tracker solution. It shows restaurant customers the amount of plate waste. It is well-suited for buffet and line restaurants, where guests return and empty their plates into a container on top of the Waste Scale.
The amount of plate waste is displayed on both visually and as a reading. The app also illustrates if the amount of personal plate waste is exceptionally high. Showing plate waste encourages measures to reduce food waste. The loss is reduced when the amount of food to be prepared can be better predicted. Read more
