Working at
FoodOp

Our mission is to reduce the CO2 footprint in professional kitchens by reducing food waste and enabling a sustainable menu transition. Food waste is a 1.6-billion-ton problem that is estimated to account for 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. We founded FoodOp in 2020 with the mission of combatting food waste in commercial kitchens. However, it quickly turned out that food waste was a symptom of an analog ecosystem with great potential to improve the environmental footprint, productivity, and quality of food servings. Therefore, we have ended up building a digital platform that helps professional kitchens reduce Co2 and admin workload. We do so through a menu planning module, a display module, and an ESG reporting module where kitchens can manage Co2, organic produce, nutrition, and food waste. The menu planning and ESG reporting modules are powered by AI and an automated data collection methodology that enables more sustainable, profitable, and enjoyable food service.
