Metafoodx has introduced new AI-powered enhancements to its post-consumer plate waste tracking mode, giving operators clearer visibility into what guests eat, what remains on the plate, and how portioning and menu performance affect overall food waste.

In many operations, overproduction can reach 20 to 30 percent of total volume. Once that food reaches the end of service, everyone can see the result, but by that point the decision window has already closed. 

Metafoodx was recently featured in MassLive for our work with the University of Massachusetts Amherst, highlighting how data-driven insight can support more efficient, responsible campus dining operations.

Metafoodx was built to do something more fundamental. We created an intelligent, real-time system that understands food in three dimensions, factors in temperature behavior, and turns operational data into decisions that teams can act on immediately. Our system is built with human-centric automation to be part of the future-proof infrastructure for commercial kitchens.

The future of foodservice will not be defined by flashy robotics or one-size-fits-all SaaS platforms. It will be defined by clarity: knowing exactly what’s in your inventory, what’s being prepared, what’s being served, and what’s being wasted.

Metafoodx has been named an Editor’s Top Pick in the August 2025 Food and Beverage Magazine Industry Innovation Leaders list. The recognition highlights companies reshaping food service and technology.

Metafoodx has been named the winner of the “AI for Good Award” at the 2025 A.I. Awards by The Cloud Awards.

Metafoodx, a leader in AI-driven foodservice technology, has been included on Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech list for 2025. This recognition highlights innovative companies that are using technology that will help define the future of the industries they serve.

In just nine months, the Pomona College lessened overproduction by 54% and lowered plate costs by 8%

With Metafoodx’s AI food intelligence, UMass Amherst has reduced overproduction, making the nation’s top-ranked dining program more sustainable than ever Metafoodx , a leader in sustainable AI food operations, today announced that the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst) is further investing in the Metafoodx AI Scanner , adding them to more campus dining halls and its catering department. With 13 AI Scanner units now on campus, the university stands as a natio

Metafoodx, a leader in sustainable AI food operations, today announced that it is an awardee of the groundbreaking City of San José’s AI Incentive Program, the first city-run grant program of its kind in the United States.

To fix this, we must go upstream. That means better forecasting, smarter batch cooking, and informed menu design. And to do those things well, you need one thing: data.

MetafoodX brings consistent, high-fidelity visibility into how food temperatures behave in real-world kitchen workflows. At one customer site, scan data collected during service showed that over half of the food measured fell within the 41°F to 135°F range. T

We explore the technical foundations, the operational impact, and the business value—culminating in a strong argument for why 3D is not just a better solution, but the only viable one for the future of food service optimization.

Our award-winning, patented 3D AI scanner is built for the front lines of food operations, capturing the image, weight and temperature of every plate or pan in just two seconds. It’s a data-powered co-pilot that helps kitchens understand not only what’s being prepared, but what’s being consumed, what’s left over, why it’s leftover and where it’s headed — whether that’s compost, donation or reuse.

Without full visibility across the entire operation, you’re only seeing the symptoms — not the causes.

An Executive Sous Chef at a Dining Hall at a leading Southern California University, recently shared his experience using Metafoodx to tackle over-prepping, reduce food waste, and streamline kitchen operations. Here's what he had to say:

Metafoodx is proud to announce that we have been selected as a 2025 Kitchen Innovations Award recipient by the National Restaurant Association Show.

The Jamix-Metafoodx integration automates these processes by enabling instant menu syncing and automated consumption tracking. Using the Metafoodx scanner, staff can record leftovers in just two seconds, with AI identifying items, logging temperatures, and measuring net weight.
