About

We believe that by providing communication between the consumer and the chef in the Food+Beverage industry, we can reduce food waste significantly. Food waste is a problem with 2 culprits: 1) The mismatch in expectation and actual portion sizes between the server and the consumer. 2) The unpredictability of food required for a particular service period and the perishability of food. We have designed an experience that will help consumer communicate with the servers in a simple and efficient way. GitHub Link: https://github.com/belsyuen/ecoplate

A strong idea, but needs to be clearer on the problem they are solving (and who it is for). Change in user behaviour is a great mission, but the value for the restaurants need to made much clearer. Building IoT into the idea will make scalability a challenge, so the business model will need to mitigate this.

Hi, thank you for your comment. We think the restaurants can benefit from gaining the quantitative data for waste food, but this benefits need to be validated with restaurants as we roll out.

We think that it is going to be much harder to roll out IoT solutions but we think that this will align with the city's smart city initiative.

Gem of an idea, but a long process to conversion and change of consumer behaviour

Absolutely, we hope to piggy back on apps such as openrice to promote our products while allowing the app to contribute to this social cause

A very good idea but still need some co-operation with the restaurants.

Hi, yes, this is definately a challenge. We see this could be a solution that restaurants would like to implement from consumers' drives.

Little complex for a guy on the street to understand. Feel like it's trying to solve multiple problems when solving one would be a better approach.

Thanks for your comment. We agree it will require education piece to come with it. canning QR for orders and paying thr bill is a wildy

(Sorry for previous message) Thanks for your comment. We agree it will require education piece to come with it. Scanning QR and paying digitally is used wildly in China since QR code is much more frequent
