View company profile

Almost 10 percent of food suitable for human consumption ends up thrown away, and in the hospitality industry alone, the main challenge lies in accurately calculating quantity, usage, and forecasting. KITRO exists to solve this massive inefficiency - turning invisible food waste into measurable, actionable value. Their solution combines a hardware device with cutting-edge deep learning software that automatically captures every item of food waste: time of disposal, weight, and photographic evidence.

By giving commercial kitchens complete visibility into what they're throwing away - without any manual effort from kitchen staff - KITRO empowers chefs and managers to make data-driven decisions that transform operations. The results are proven: up to 60% reduction in avoidable food waste, up to 8% increase in food profit margins, and significant reductions in CO2 emissions, water consumption, and land usage. KITRO currently operates in over 20 countries, partnering with leading hospitality chains like Marriott International, Hyatt, and Four Seasons to create lasting environmental and financial impact.
