Does ClearCOGS help reduce food waste?

Food waste is one of the most overlooked—and costly—problems in the restaurant industry. In the U.S., 30–40% of all food produced ends up in the trash, making it the single largest contributor to landfills. The greenhouse gases generated by decomposing food have a devastating environmental impact.

By telling restaurant exactly how much food to prep and when, ClearCOGS significantly helps restaurants reduce overproduction, spoilage, and end-of-day waste. Most ClearCOGS customers see measurable food cost improvements within the first few months.
