Kitro simplifies food waste management

Kitro is a device that scans thrown-away food and calculates the related costs for restaurants. Based on this, users of Kitro get a breakdown of their food waste and how they can save money. This allows them to make smart decisions and use data to reduce food waste and hence also costs.

The Kitro device consists of a scale weight, pole and camera. By placing a waste bin on the scale, the device uses AI technology and image processing to offer an analysis via an online dashboard of all the wasted food. The analysis includes costs, sources of the food waste and more. Based on this, restaurants can make data-driven decisions on how to reduce their food waste, save money and improve efficiency.

The measurement process is completely automated, which means the restaurants don’t need to dedicated staff to operate the device. Simply put the bin on the scale, turn on the device, and review the waste breakdown.
