Orbisk
AI food-waste monitor for professional kitchens
Orbisk installs a camera and scale above the kitchen bin that automatically recognises what is thrown away, by ingredient and weight, and turns it into dashboards to cut over-production and purchasing. It is used in over 1,000 professional kitchens including Accor, Marriott and Hyatt hotels. The company received a €2.4M EIC Accelerator grant in 2021.
