Recording food waste: less waste, more profit

Record raw waste, spoilage, breakage and over-portioning in the app or in the browser, and see what waste costs you.

Every food item you throw away has been paid for. When you record food waste, you see which products and which reasons cost you the most – and your stock level stays correct.

View food waste in the browser

In the sidebar, click Inventory › Food waste. At the top you see the Waste value – the value of the goods thrown away in the selected period – and the number of entries. Below, every entry is listed with product, reason, who reported it, date, quantity and price.

The Food Waste page with period, reason, waste value and the entries with name, reported by, business date, unit amount and total price

Use the filters at the top to choose the period and the Reason.
