two founders.   
one global mission

In 2017, KITRO was founded by two hospitality professionals who had seen too much good food go to waste. They believed kitchens could do better but they needed the right tools.

With a team of engineers, sustainability experts, and chefs, they created KITRO: the world’s only fully automated food waste solution, combining AI technology with real human support.

We started small. Today, KITRO is active in over 20 countries, helping hundreds of kitchens make food waste visible and preventable.

Our process

Once we receive your complete application, we take a few days to carefully review it. If you’re shortlisted, you’ll start with a short screening call with our HR team to ensure our values align and give you a first taste of life at KITRO.

From there, one of our department leads or your potential hiring manager will dive deeper into your experience and skills, possibly followed by a short role-specific assignment. In a last step, you'll meet a senior leader to explore team fit, values, and long-term potential. Our process is designed to be transparent, collaborative, and as much about you getting to know us as us getting to know you.
