4.4 Netherlands

What is this

Orbisk is a contactless AI vision system designed for professional kitchens. Through a smart camera installed above the trash bin, it recognizes in real time the type and amount of discarded food. Using advanced image recognition, this system automatically records detailed kitchen-waste data and turns it into visualized data-analysis reports, helping food-service operators precisely grasp food loss and cut waste at the source.

What problem it solves

In professional kitchens, food waste is often an invisible profit killer, and chefs and managers often struggle to quantify the cost of discarded food. Orbisk solves this pain point of invisible waste, using automated monitoring instead of tedious manual logging so kitchen teams can clearly see which ingredients are most often wasted, then optimize purchasing and menu design. This not only dramatically lowers food costs but also improves kitchen efficiency, helping businesses effectively improve overall profitability while pursuing sustainability.
