questions

KITRO is already used in healthcare environments, where minimizing waste is particularly important. By providing clear insights into what is thrown away, it helps kitchens identify opportunities to reduce waste while maintaining high standards of care. To see how this works in practice, watch our testimonial video from Stadtspital Zürich.

The KITRO TARE is designed to meet the high hygiene standards required in healthcare kitchens. The device is made of stainless steel, making it durable, easy to clean, and resistant to corrosion, ideal for daily cleaning protocols. Since the system is fully automated and hands‑free, there’s no need for staff interaction, eliminating any risk of cross-contamination or disruption to your existing food safety processes.

The KITRO TARE requires a Wi-Fi (or equivalent secure network) connection to upload data. Once connected, it works in the background and doesn’t require staff intervention, ensuring smooth integration with hospital IT infrastructure.

Partially. The data can be assigned to zones or floors if you assign separate KITRO TAREs per area. This lets you link waste to patient wards, floors, or kitchens, supporting granular and actionable insights. Linking plate waste to individual patients however is currently not supported.

Indirectly, yes. If waste volumes spike for specific meals, these trends can indicate menu rejection, portion issues, or dissatisfaction. KITRO’s analytics flags such patterns, allowing you to investigate and adjust menus or portioning proactively.

Facilities typically see meaningful reductions in waste and corresponding cost savings within 6-9 months of onboarding - dependent on team involvement. With consistent monitoring and staff engagement, both volume reductions and improved efficiency are achieved quickly, especially where overproduction was previously significant.
