The Problem

Europe's restaurants throw away
€20 billion in food every year.

On margins already below 5%, wasted food isn't just an environmental shame — it's an existential threat to independent restaurants.

30%

Of purchased food is wasted

The average European restaurant wastes nearly a third of every ingredient it buys — in prep offcuts, over-ordering, and end-of-day spoilage.

EU Law

New regulations are tightening

The EU Farm to Fork strategy and national food waste directives are making waste tracking mandatory for food service businesses above certain thresholds.

3–5%

Average restaurant net margin

When margins are razor-thin, a 30% ingredient waste rate means half your profit is binned before a plate reaches the table. Every gram counts.

💡

KitchenZero was built specifically for this. Instead of adapting a generic inventory tool, we designed an AI platform from the ground up for commercial kitchens — from the prep list in the morning to the waste log at close.

FAQ

Common questions

How does KitchenZero predict demand? +
KitchenZero combines your historical sales data with external signals — local weather forecasts, public holidays, nearby events, and day-of-week patterns — to train a machine learning model unique to your restaurant. The more data it has, the sharper the predictions become. Most restaurants see accurate forecasts within 2–3 weeks of onboarding.
Does it integrate with my POS system? +
Yes. KitchenZero connects natively with Lightspeed, Square, Untill, and Deliverect. For POS systems not on our current list, we offer a CSV import and a REST API so your developers can push sales data directly. We're adding new integrations every month — contact us if yours isn't listed.
How do I track waste in the app? +
Waste is logged in under 30 seconds per item using KitchenZero's mobile-optimised interface. At the end of each service your team runs through a quick checklist — tapping each waste category (prep, spoilage, plate returns) and entering weights. Over time the app learns what drives your waste and surfaces actionable suggestions to reduce it.
Is KitchenZero available in Dutch? +
Ja, volledig. KitchenZero is available in Dutch (Nederlands), English, and French. You can switch interface language at any time from your account settings. Our support team is based in the Netherlands and responds in Dutch during business hours. We also offer onboarding calls in Dutch for new customers.
