Bottom line
Orbisk is an automated food waste monitor for professional kitchens. A countertop Orbi device uses AI image recognition to identify every discarded ingredient by name and weight, feeding a dashboard with per-ingredient, per-waste-stream reporting and ranked actions. Hotel, catering and healthcare customers report waste cuts of 24–70% and six-figure savings. Hardware plus software, plug-and-play with no staff training, priced by custom quote.
Frequently asked questions
What does Orbisk cost?
Orbisk does not publish list pricing. Its FAQ says the price varies with your requirements and the size of your professional kitchen and directs buyers to the sales team for a personalised quote. Budget for countertop hardware plus an ongoing subscription rather than a per-seat SaaS fee, and expect the ROI case to rest on the waste value your kitchen throws away.
How long until we see value?
Orbisk states same-day, plug-and-play setup with zero training and no workflow interruption: the Orbi needs one socket and WiFi or 4G. Customers describe acting on the first week of data — Novotel Amsterdam City changed ordering and portioning after a week of readings, and TRIBE London cut waste 37% in nine months.
What results do customers report?
Published cases include 37% less waste and £25k saved in nine months (TRIBE London Canary Wharf), 33% and €27k in under 12 months (Novotel Amsterdam City), 69% and €60k over two years (Novotel Warszawa Centrum), and 24% and €38k in six months (Frankfurt Marriott). Orbisk markets up to 70% food waste reduction.
Do staff have to log anything?
No. The Orbi monitor works above the bin and automatically recognises what is discarded, by ingredient and weight, before anything mixes, so no buttons, logging or training are needed. Staff present waste to the device's LED light and it registers the item; the unit runs on both 4G and WiFi.
Is Orbisk a replacement for our purchasing or inventory system?
No. Orbisk measures and reports food waste, cost and CO2 per ingredient, waste stream and serving stage, and ranks the actions to take next. It complements purchasing, recipe costing and inventory tools rather than replacing them, and it does not handle POS, ordering or labour scheduling.
