What you pay

Commercial waste trackers are paid every year; this one is paid once. We don't give a savings figure: it depends on how much your kitchen throws away.

How is this calculated?

249 (single price, every use) + 220 (indicative hardware, per bin) = 469, once. No fees; updates included.

One licence, all your clients

Included in the price

With the same licence you install it for your clients (each one's hardware is bought separately) and charge them for installation and monitoring. We don't publish a profit figure: there is no reliable market rate.

Only real figures: we don't publish savings or earnings we can't prove. Hardware cost is indicative.

The problem

You bin 5–15 % of what you buy. And you don't know what.

A professional kitchen throws away 5–15 % of what it buys without knowing what or how much. The US goal is to halve food waste by 2030 (USDA and EPA), and in the EU new rules require food waste prevention plans.

Food Waste Counter sits over the kitchen bin. It recognises what is thrown away with AI and works out its cost. Every night the summary is on your phone.

  1. Put your usual bin on the platform.
  2. Every discard is logged and AI identifies it.

FAQ

Does my kitchen team have to log anything?

No. Nobody in the kitchen has to write anything down: the team keeps binning as usual and every night the summary is on your phone.

What will Food Waste Counter tell me about what we throw away?

It recognises with AI what goes in the bin and works out its cost, by dish and by day. Reports are downloadable.

Will it help me with a waste reduction plan or audit?

It gives you a report on your kitchen's waste to use in your plan or audit, in line with the US goal of halving food waste by 2030. It does not certify compliance with any programme or rule.

Does it work for school cafeterias, hospitals or catering?

Yes, in any kitchen with a bin to place it under and WiFi: restaurants, hotels with buffets, canteens, central kitchens and caterers.

What do I need, and how much does the hardware cost?

Space under the bin, WiFi and a power outlet. Hardware is bought separately, from about $220 per bin; the product is $249, one-off, for every use, with updates included.

When do I get my licence?

Within 12 hours of payment you receive your licence by email with a private link to the software and documentation. If it is late, you get your money back.
