About Ecomeal

Every night, India throws away food.
And every night, millions go to bed hungry.

We started Ecomeal because both of those things happen in the same cities, often on the same street. Restaurants can't fix hunger alone. But they can stop throwing good food away.

Same country. Same cities. Same evening.

Where food goes

Three places food can end up tonight.

01 · On a plateCooked with care, served hot, eaten. This is what every kitchen wants for every gram it buys.
02 · In the binOver-prepped gravy, a dish nobody ordered, stock that expired at the back of the fridge.
03 · Never reaching anyoneOutside, the queue at the community kitchen. The food that went in the bin never had a chance to get here.

Food service accounts for about 28% of all food wasted worldwide.

Where kitchens come in

Waste is decided at 2 pm, not at 11 pm.

How much to prep. What to buy. Which dish to push tonight. By the time food reaches the bin, the decision was made hours earlier, usually without anyone seeing the numbers.

2:00 pm. The dal makhani has barely moved all week. Nobody checks. Tonight, the pot goes in the bin again.

We build restaurant software that notices the slow dish at two in the afternoon, writes a deal for it, and puts it on the billing screen, so it sells by ten at night instead of ending up in the bin. Less waste in the kitchen. More margin for the owner. And, one plate at a time, a little more food that gets eaten.

What we build

One screen for the floor. A co-worker for the owner.

Bill and run the floor

POS billing for dine-in and pick-up, KOTs tracked from order to payment, and one menu shared by the POS and the table QR.

Let AI sell for you

AI Up Sell finds dishes that are selling slowly, writes a deal for each with the reason in plain words, and puts it live on the POS every afternoon.

Know your guests and outlets

Repeat rate, loyalty tiers, new, VIP and at-risk guests, and every outlet's revenue and open and close history on one screen.

How we build

Four promises we keep.

  1. 01
    Act, don't just describe.Every insight should end in something you can do today.
  2. 02
    Explain every suggestion.Each AI deal shows its reason in plain words.
  3. 03
    You stay in charge.Deals end on their own. Close or change them any time.
  4. 04
    Say "not yet" honestly.We publish what's live and label what's on the roadmap.
Who we are

"We spoke with more than 40 restaurant operators before writing a line of code. Every one of them had reports. None of them had time. So we built software that reads the numbers for you."
