This was an interesting article as a while back this was a subject I touched up on once when researching technology for restaurants and I actually didn't think this software technology was this old already. LeanPath pretty much is a technology to help reduce food service organizations reduce their food waste by 50%. With the UN Sustainability goal it calls in the world to reduce their food waste in half by 2030 so LeanPath has set a goal to start a program in providing free or reduced cost hardware/software to qualified resourced constrained educational and non-profit organizations to further expand in this initiative. When they first started it was software that was installed on the PC but now it is cloud based. They started to incorporate behavioral science so instead of just providing numbers and raw data they are incorporating photography to create a deeper environmental impact as one would be more self conscious seeing a pan of wasted food to relate the data than just reading a statistical number of the same result.
