KITRO provides a very easy-to-use device and good support for reducing food waste. We were able to optimise our operations in one of our restaurants with a 34% reduction in plate waste during a 3-month pilot.

For Restaurant Managers

CRM platforms, POS and inventory systems exist to monitor and optimise processes and operations. Food waste management lacks a comparable tool.

KITRO fills that gap, giving you a new KPI to monitor your performance so you can react quickly, align your business objectives, and optimise your food cost profit margin.

How much savings can I make with KITRO?

Every property is different, and savings depend on the starting point as well as the motivation of the team on-site. Our customers have reduced up to 57% of their edible food waste where reductions range anywhere from 10 to 55%. This results in savings between 2% and 8% of the annual food cost. Typically, our customers see a ROI between 200-600% in just one year.

How easy is it to install and get started?

After signing the contract, we only need some basic information about your property, and we can get started! If we have devices in stock, we can start measuring within 2-4 weeks depending where you’re located.

Within Switzerland we offer the service to come and install the devices directly at your property for an extra charge that includes a kick-off meeting.

For a smaller fee, we send the device to you and you can easily set it up yourself within 15min. The kick-off will then happen virtually. Contact us for more information!

How much does it cost?

KITRO offers a subscription-based service with the option to buy or rent the device monthly. Depending on the length of contract, the size of your property and the number of units required different discounts apply. Contact our team to find out more!

How do I know if the KITRO solution works for me?

Typically, we see that the amount of food waste occurring in commercial kitchens is greatly underestimated so our solution is beneficial for most of them. Properties that serve at least 100 meals a day quickly see a return on their investment and are able to make a huge impact, but of course it is property dependent. We work with all types of properties from school canteens, retirement homes to luxury hotels and ski resorts, contact us to see if KITRO is a fit for you.

Is there any effort necessary for me and my team?

The measurement process is completely automated, with no buttons or effort needed. However, measurement alone does not achieve results, though. Your dashboard gives you all the insights necessary to take action and set achievable and measurable goals.
You have the option to personalize and input certain information on the dashboard. The more information you put in, the more granular and useful your analysis will become.

Does KITRO support me with the understanding of my data?

Absolutely! You will have your personal key account manager, who will take care of you and get you settled. In addition to on-boarding calls, we also support you with quarterly goal setting and best practise calls which are all included in the monthly subscription.

What is the minimum measurement period?

In the past 3 years with more than 100 measurements, we have seen that measuring long-term makes sense due to many factors. As your success is in our best interest, we therefore have set the minimum measurement period to 12 months with an exception for seasonal properties that are closing for a few months per year.

What is the cancellation period?

You can terminate the contract after the first 6 months of measurement. After those first 6 months, you can cancel the contract anytime with a notice period of 3 months for the end of every 6-month contract period.
