Where Restaurants Lose Food (And How to Fix It)

Food waste isn't one thing—it's multiple small leaks that add up to big losses.

Over-portioning

Consistent over-portioning by just 1oz per plate can cost thousands monthly. AI variance tracking catches this by ingredient and station.

Spoilage & Expiration

Over-ordering leads to spoilage. Demand forecasting predicts exactly what you need, reducing waste from expired ingredients.

Prep Waste

Trimming loss, improper prep techniques, and batch errors all contribute. Recipe costing identifies high-waste recipes.

Theft & Unrecorded Usage

Unrecorded staff meals, comped items, and theft show up as variance. Same-day detection stops losses immediately.
