from Tomorrow's Bites with Andrés and Sjacco · host Andrés and Sjacco

What if the key to solving food waste was right in front of us? For Olaf van der Veen and the team at Orbisk, it was. Literally.In this short episode, Olaf shares how they started by standing next to restaurant waste bins every day, manually tracking what was thrown away. They quickly learned that even a five-second manual input was too much for busy kitchen teams.That insight led them to build a fully automated, AI-powered solution that now gives chefs real-time insights into their food waste, helping them make smarter, more sustainable decisions.In just 9 minutes, we explore how relentless testing, a simple camera, and a lot of listening to customers helped turn a waste bin into a powerful tool for change.You can listen to our conversation with Olaf here.👋 GET IN TOUCH WITH US👥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📸 ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🌎⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
