The menu optimization gap

Without item-level waste data, menu decisions rely on guesswork and incomplete information.

Menu Blind Spots

You know overall waste levels, but not which specific dishes are causing the most waste.

Portion Guesswork

Portion sizes are based on intuition, not data - leading to consistent over or under-serving.

Hidden Profitability

High-waste dishes may appear profitable but actually have slim margins once waste is factored in.

How FoodSight Helps

Portion Analysis

Identify which dishes are consistently over-portioned based on actual plate waste data.

True Profitability

Calculate real menu item margins by factoring in actual waste costs, not estimates.

Menu optimization benefits

Transform your menu from a static document into a data-driven profit engine.

Higher Margins

Optimize portions and reduce waste on your highest-volume dishes for maximum impact.
