Leanpath On-Site Training

Food Waste Prevention Pioneers

Leanpath is on a mission to make food waste prevention and measurement everyday practice in the world’s kitchens.

We believe front-line foodservice workers are the real change agents in the global fight against food waste. We empower them with technology and coaching to have a meaningful impact on the environment, at the same time they improve their kitchen’s efficiency. Since 2014 alone, Leanpath-empowered culinary teams have prevented over 25 million pounds of food from being wasted.

We invented automated food waste tracking technology in 2004, and provide a complete food waste prevention platform, including data-collection tools, cloud-based analytics, and expert coaching. We are in thousands of kitchens around the world. Our offices are located in the U.S., U.K., Spain and Australia.

Our Vision

Ensure a sustainable future by eliminating global food waste.
