One Blind Spot. Four Different Problems.
Plate waste is the single largest source of facility food loss. Sector-wide, 78% of US foodservice food waste goes straight to landfill — $122 billion a year. Without data connecting waste back to your menus, portions, and nutrition programs, the impact goes far beyond the kitchen.
Uncontrolled food costs
Rising costs with no clear lever to pull. Budgets tighten but nothing changes.
Unmeasurable waste
Can't quantify what you can't see. Sustainability goals stall without data.
Menu guesswork
Without data on what diners actually eat vs. discard, menu planning and nutrition decisions are based on assumptions.
A dining experience that disappoints
When food quality is unpredictable, diners stop showing up.
The Blind Spot in the Market
Existing solutions track kitchen waste. They miss the biggest piece.
CPIsight is the only platform built for plate waste — what diners leave behind at the dish return, invisible until now. That's where the real menu and cost insights are.

The Data Behind the Approach
Our methodology is grounded in proven research and validated through real pilot deployments.
“Across 1,200 business sites in 17 countries that invested in reducing food waste, nearly every site earned a positive return — half saw a benefit-cost ratio of 14:1 or better.”

Global coalition committed to halving food waste by 2030 — not a CPIsight result
“This technology gives us tangible data that allows us to tailor our menu and messaging based on real results. Instead of guessing, we can make informed adjustments that help us improve our menus and use resources more effectively.”

Butler Eagle, March 2026 · on the CPIsight Phase 1 pilot
“Emerson College's published Weigh the Waste programme tracked dining-hall waste across the 2023–24 academic year, with per-capita waste falling from 2.49oz in September to 1.57oz in April. In a survey of 489 diners, the leading reasons for leftovers were being served too much (41.5%), not liking the food (18.9%), and taking too much (18.4%).”
