Orbisk
A Dutch camera above the trash bin that recognizes and measures wasted food in professional kitchens.
About
Orbisk photographs what a chef throws away and links the image to weight and time. Kitchen teams can then see which ingredients, dishes, and moments cause the most waste. Hotel company Essendi used Orbisk and Winnow in a broader program that reported an average 26 percent reduction in food waste per meal across 36 new hotels. That result is not attributable to Orbisk alone; training and work practices also played a role.
AI factor
Image recognition turns every waste stream into a searchable pattern. Chefs and managers then adjust purchasing, portions, and preparation, and track whether it truly reduces waste.
