FIT (Food Intel Tech)
Solution for the tracking and reduction of food waste in commercial kitchens
Description
The FIT Food Waste Monitoring Tech solution for commercial kitchens was created to track and reduce food waste and the associated costs, providing users with insights into the reasons behind food waste, the types of food wasted, the points and locations where waste occurs, and the quantity of waste generated in grammes per person. The results are reported in weekly performance reports, available in nine languages, supporting kitchens in improving their operations.
Technology
FIT has two components: a cloud-based mobile phone application that runs on Apple and Android devices, and data analytics software for personal computers. The mobile app can draw data from multiple recording points within the same organization, while the data analytic software produces automated reports accessible from a dashboard.
Target
The main users of FIT are hotels, restaurants and caterers (HoReCa), and as of 2023, the solution has been adopted by such prominent global brands as Hyatt, the Marriot, and Accor in their daily kitchen operations. The solution is available in English, Mandarin, French, Korean, Thai, Bahasa, Spanish, Vietnamese and Japanese languages.
Business model
