Orbisk AI Food Waste Monitor for Professional Kitchens

Orbisk B.V. is a Dutch food-tech company that helps hotels, caterers, restaurants and other professional kitchens cut food waste and food cost. It says more than 1,000 kitchens in over 40 countries use its system, and in January 2026 it named Asia Pacific as its next phase of growth.

The Orbi device is mounted above the kitchen bin and automatically photographs and weighs every discard before items mix, recognising ingredients without buttons, manual logging or staff training. Data is grouped by ingredient, waste stream, container and serving stage in a cloud dashboard, and the new Orbisk AI layer ranks the most impactful next actions, such as smaller breakfast batches or portion changes. A portfolio view lets operations, finance and ESG teams compare locations and track CO2 savings.

• Above-bin capture: camera and scale record every discard automatically before items mix.
• Ingredient recognition: identifies wasted food by name and weight, not just by category.
• Photo evidence: shows a real photo of every discard for objective team discussions.
• Orbisk AI: ranks ingredient-specific recommendations by impact.
• Portfolio dashboard: compares waste and cost across locations for operations and finance teams.
• Goal setting and CO2 reporting: tracks targets and sustainability impact for ESG reports.

• Five-star hotels and resorts in Vietnam measuring buffet waste to adjust batch sizes and support green certifications.
• Industrial catering companies serving factories tracking overproduction across many canteens.
• Restaurant groups reporting food waste and CO2 to investors or international franchisors.

• Lower food cost: the site cites an average of 70,000 EUR saved per kitchen per year and up to 70% food waste reduction.
• Fast payback: Orbisk reports a 12x return on investment on average across its kitchens.
• Zero workflow change: same-day setup, no buttons and no staff training required.
• Audit-ready ESG data: food waste and CO2 are tracked automatically, around 45 tonnes of CO2 prevented per kitchen according to the vendor.

Hotel groups and caterers face pressure to report Scope 3 emissions and food waste, while governments such as Singapore are introducing clearer requirements for measuring and reducing waste. Automated, camera-based waste tracking is replacing manual logs, and Asia Pacific is described by the company as the fastest-growing food service region.
