Take Control of Plate Waste

Track, analyze and take action on post-consumer food waste.

Leanpath offers the most comprehensive plate waste tracking, reporting and diner-engagement solutions for foodservice operations. Finally tackle your full food waste stream–kitchen waste AND plate waste–with a complete post-consumer food waste prevention solution. 


AI-Enabled Plate Waste Tracking

Automated Insight into Post-Consumer Waste


The Leanpath platform leverages powerful computer vision from Kikleo® to automatically identify and quantify food left on guests’ plates. By feeding this high-resolution visual data directly into Leanpath’s analytics engine and applying our proprietary modeling, we remove the manual work from tracking and give you a complete, granular understanding of what diners are leaving behind.

  • Computer Vision Accuracy: Advanced AI recognizes food items instantly, ensuring granular data accuracy on every plate returned.
  • Flexible Deployment: Designed to fit your specific front-of-house flow, with configurations available for both tabletop stations and conveyor return lines.

Plate Waste Reporting

Data-Driven Intelligence for Menu Engineering

Because plate waste scanners can’t capture everything (to-go items, etc.), Leanpath’s proprietary modeling algorithm fills in the gaps, providing clear, actionable insights on your full plate waste stream.

  • Plate Waste Dashboard: Our new reporting system offers unmatched clarity on plate waste, a significant but often overlooked, area of inefficiency.
  • Smarter Decisions: Use detailed plate waste data to inform impactful menu engineering, adjusting portion sizes or recipes based on actual guest consumption behavior.

Spark Digital Signage

Consumer Engagement & Behavior Change


Turn your diners into active partners in the solution. Spark digital signage displays real-time tracking data and calls to action directly in the dining area, closing the loop between the kitchen and the consumer.

  • Real-Time Feedback: Immediate visual feedback connects guests to their impact, driving awareness the moment they dispose of their food.
  • Science-Backed Design: Created in partnership with behavioral science experts, the signage utilizes proven engagement techniques to nudge consumers toward more sustainable habits.
