What the presentation covers
Slide 1 Plate Zero
Investor Pitch · 2025 · The waste-savvy app that helps small restaurants buy smarter, waste less, and keep more of what they earn. · PlateZero · Waste less · Earn more
Slide 2 The problem
1⁄3 · of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted. · Source: FAO · 58M tonnes · of food wasted every year in the EU alone. · European Commission · €132 billion · the value of that European waste.
Slide 3 Why small restaurants get hit hardest
~70% · of US restaurants are single-unit operations — out of roughly three quarters of a million to a million total (Business Waste) · A clipboard, a guess, and a gut feeling · Big chains run enterprise waste-tracking software. Small kitchens track what they throw away with a clipboard and intuition. · Everything on one plate · Owners juggle ordering, staffing and margins at once — with no data on what actually ends up in the bin. · Not a corporate system — a pocket one · Small restaurants need something that fits in a pocket and takes 30 seconds a day.
Slide 4 Meet PlateZero
The product · PlateZero turns waste tracking into a 30-second daily habit: log what's thrown out, get tomorrow's smarter order. · Photo-first logging. Snap the bin — the app estimates what and how much. · Weekly insights in plain language: which dishes, ingredients and portions drive waste. · Smart order suggestions tuned to real demand, season and shelf life. · Built for the owner, not the IT department. · Plate Zero · day 12
Slide 5 How it works
Four steps · close of service to next order · Snap · Photograph the bin or the leftover prep tray at close of service. · Log · The app identifies items and quantities automatically. · Learn · A weekly report shows where the waste and the money go. · Order smarter
Slide 6 The market
$160B+ · Annual waste-related costs across US restaurants · Business Waste · ~1M · Restaurants in the US — about 70% of them single-unit · €132B · Value of food wasted annually in the EU alone · European Commission

Slide 8 Go-to-market
Three phases, one kitchen at a time · We start where trust is built by hand — and grow as the results speak for themselves. · Phase 1 · Pilot · 10–20 friendly local restaurants, hand-onboarded one by one — proving real waste and cost reduction. · Phase 2 · Launch · Word of mouth across one metro, with partnerships from restaurant associations and suppliers.
Slide 9 Why we win
Enterprise waste-tracking platforms · Built for chains — costly, slow to deploy. · Chains only · Inventory suites · Track stock, but not what actually gets thrown away and why. · Stock, not waste · Surplus food resale apps · Deal with waste after it happens, not before.
Slide 10 The ask
PlateZero · The ask · Less in the bin. More on the bottom line. · We're raising to build the pilot, onboard our first kitchens and prove the savings. · Let's talk: hello@platezero.app PlateZero · 2025
