Many issues
A single sensor that optimizes menus and reduces waste
Transform canteen management with a sensor that eliminates manual counting, optimizes seasonal menus, reduces food waste by monitoring in real-time the dishes served, portions prepared, and tray composition.
PROBLEM
Lack of real measurement
Most companies estimate waste through samples or end-of-day checks. Without continuous and accurate monitoring, it’s impossible to precisely quantify actual waste.
PROBLEM
Food overproduction
Manual measurements are imprecise and based on rough estimates. Without accurate data on how many dishes are actually served, kitchens prepare excessive quantities, causing significant food waste, high costs, and environmental impact.
PROBLEM
Lack of data for optimization
Without precise data on diners’ preferences and dish combinations, menu choices are based on assumptions rather than evidence, increasing operational costs and environmental impact.
