"Orbisk has introduced the world’s first fully automated food waste monitor. By outfitting the (organic) waste bin in professional kitchens with a weighing scale and a AI smart camera, image recognition recognes all food going to waste. Seamlessly, the technology is incorporated in any restaurant, without taking any additional (often limited) kitchen space, nor personnel capacity. Absolute frictionless registration of what food is going to waste provides data on a most granular level. By including the context of the disposal action - such as the food being thrown away from a pan, a cutting board or a plate - the part of the process where the food was lost is identified. Inefficiencies and optimizations in your food providing process are identified by means of action oriented dashboarding, by balancing portions, optimizing stocking and increase planning efficiency waste is reduced by up to 70%. This results in significant economic value due to savings on buying, labour and waste disposal, worth €20,000 - €60,000 for an average restaurant, a net margin improvement of up to 4% whilst annually saving over 4,000 kilos of food of going to waste, preventing the emission of 15 tons of CO2 and 14M liters of water use. All of this without impacting your guest experience!"
