Overview
Orbisk provides an automated food waste monitoring system for professional kitchens using a plug-and-play device called Orbi mounted above the waste bin. It uses a camera and scale with AI image recognition to log discarded items, quantities, and disposal times, sending data to a cloud dashboard for analysis. The system enables data-driven decisions on procurement, portioning, and menu planning, while offering hardware leasing and access to analytics. Its differentiators are a hospitality-focused, turnkey solution, large partnerships (e.g., Accor, Hyatt, Carnival), and a global footprint that includes 500+ sites in 42+ countries with about 1,000 devices, aimed at reducing waste and improving profitability and ESG reporting.
