Kitro is the bright idea of Anastasia Hofmann and Naomi Mackenzie, who are helping to restore the value of food, so that it is enjoyed rather than wasted.
Because these two young entrepreneurs were students at the École hôtelière in Lausanne, they know the backstage.
What’s going on? Food is being wasted. And now Kitro is using artificial intelligence to reduce your waste and save your resources!
It’s THE automated solution for collecting and analyzing data on food waste.
The system?
A connected scale, simply placed under your garbage cans, captures the weight and images of your food waste.
Then, artificial intelligence analyzes your data to provide you with information via a dashboard, such as: the number of consumable and non-consumable food waste you throw away, the day of the month when you waste the most, and of course, the financial cost of this food waste.
