FoodOp | Reduce food waste

On a mission to reduce food waste​

We reduce food waste by enabling food service companies to plan more accurately and sustainably, improve the quality of menus.

We’re FoodOp, and we’re enabling the future of foodservice

We enable more sustainable, profitable and enjoyable food service. With engaged chefs and happy guests.

Why should 1/3 of all food be wasted?

FoodOp was founded in 2020 with a vision to reduce food waste in commercial kitchens. It quickly turned out that food waste was a symptom of an analogue eco-system with great potential to improve the environmental footprint, productivity, and the quality of food servings.

Besides food loss, the analogue eco-system entails a wide range of manual tasks and limited connection between the chefs and their guests. How can chefs possibly know what people want and how much to serve every day?

That was the beginning of FoodOp

We’re a new layer of technology that helps commercial kitchens measure food waste and guest preferences, and then use these insights to improve future menus in terms of e.g., quantities, guest preferences and the environmental footprint.

We do so through a menu planning platform that is enriched by data from scales that are placed under all dishes and organic bins in food servings. From there, the scales automatically measure consumption and leftovers for each dish.
