Customer Testimonials

What customers and partners are saying about LeanPath food waste tracking systems & services:

I was very skeptical. I thought it would be cumbersome and provide little valuable information, but it's totally the opposite. I look forward to reviewing the data every week. It takes a lot of the work out of finding areas where we can do things better.
~ Executive Chef Eric Eisenberg, Swedish Medical Center

"I always have good food cost here even with very high [product costs]. I attribute it to [LeanPath's] ValuWaste."
~Jim Cooley, Executive Chef, Seattle University / Bon Appetit

"Through implementation of a waste tracking system, we have decreased our annual food waste by greater than 23 tons and saved $41,000 on food purchases. We went from $2,200 a week waste down to $1,000 to $1,200 a week now. I reinvested the money I've saved in the quality of the food - to offer more fresh produce and local and artisanal bread products."
- Mary Porter, FNS Manager, Northwest Hospital and Medical Center/UW Medicine, Seattle, Washington (from the Association for Healthcare Foodservice Magazine, So Connected, May 2011)

This past week has been our best yet reaching nearly a 70% reduction in food loss. Of the remaining waste we've been able to donate approximately 66% to our local Salvation Army to help feed the homeless and less fortunate. We are an excellent example of a great success story with full support from the LEANPATH TEAM! Thank you for all you have done for us, the community of La Crosse and the reduction of food waste in the state of Wisconsin! LeanPath has become part of our daily lives at work in the kitchen as Gundersen Lutheran and ALWAYS will be. And we are very proud of that.

The program reminds me of Weight Watchers- its another program that is very simple... you eat less and if you follow the program as its laid out, you lose weight. In ValuWaste, you prepare what you need so essentially you cook less, and if you follow the program you save money- tons of it! This program has really taught our staff that they do make a difference, and that when they throw out food, they are throwing away money.
~ Nancy Darbut, Director, Food & Nutrition, North Memorial Medical Center

LeanPath provides valuable data that would otherwise be unavailable to most operators.
