The discussion highlighted practical approaches to reduce food waste at every stage, from initial preparation to final service.

This reality has been a key driver of Leanpath’s innovation over the years, and we’re proud to announce a new milestone in that legacy of innovation. Our new upgrade to Leanpath’s AI-enabled tracking delivers faster, more accurate waste tracking from day one, without time-consuming AI-model training.
