| description | The hospitality, restaurant and catering (HoReCa) sector is one of the largest producers of food
waste globally. This paper aims to identify how digital technologies can be used to manage food
waste in the HoReCa sector as well as the digital tools available. Digital tools powered by Artificial
Intelligence, Internet of Things and Big Data, such as smart software solutions for storage spaces,
cameras, sensors, along with mobile apps, are able to improve foodservice units management
regarding food waste. Significant quantities of food can be saved by automating waste tracking,
inventory management and delivery times, kitchen processes and redistribution. Many technology
providers developed a large variety of digital tools addressed to different activities inside the
restaurants. The paper concludes that adopting digital technologies is very important in food waste
management and HoReCa sector can use various digital tools. |
