LeanPath, Inc. (www.leanpath.com) is a consulting and technology development company that delivers integrated product and professional services solutions. Founded in January, 2004, LeanPath focuses on increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing sustainability in specialized industries. The company’s offerings include embedded computer systems and analytic software as well as change management consulting, training and support services that enable customers to achieve long-term results.

From May 2004 to June 2006, the ValuWaste® solution was extensively tested in successful alpha, beta and customer pilot implementations in several markets, at sites across the U.S.  In June 2006 the company released the production version of ValuWaste as our first commercial solution, the first in a line of products designed to help food service professionals enhance the bottom line while simultaneously achieving sustainability objectives.

LeanPath's vision is to empower food service, restaurant, and hospitality managers to operate more profitable businesses that make a positive impact in their communities.

We support the growing efforts of food professionals to source organically and regionally produced ingredients, prevent waste within the kitchen, increase recycling, support donation programs, and ultimately avoid landfill disposal. These initiatives are part of a sustainable approach to food production, one that enables us to meet our needs today while ensuring future generations will be able to meet their own needs.
