Why is Orbisk introducing tiers?
Every kitchen is unique. Each location has its own needs. At Orbisk we understand kitchens and we’re here to deliver solutions that truly fit. Our three new tiers – Insights, Excellence, and Enterprise – let you choose the right level of insights and support for your operation. The result? Smarter kitchens, seamless savings, and greater impact.
Until now, Orbisk offered a one-size-fits-all approach with custom enterprise options for larger HQs. Today, we’re introducing a clear, 3-tiered lineup so every kitchen – whether single-site or multi-location – gets exactly what it needs. Same award-winning automated tracking. Same easy-to-use Orbi device. Even faster time to value.

FAQ
What is the difference between Orbisk Insights and Excellence?
- Orbisk Insights is ideal for single kitchens. It provides category-level insights (about 20 categories) and waste stream recognition, helping operators quickly identify food waste patterns and take immediate action using the Action Center. It’s the fastest way to achieve quick wins and measurable reductions.
- Orbisk Excellence is designed for larger operations with multiple kitchens within one property (such as hotels, resorts, and hospitals). It includes all Insights features, plus ingredient-level insights (recognizing 600+ ingredients with AI), weekly waste reports, and tailored reduction tips. Excellence delivers the most granular data for precise optimization and maximum savings.
How does Orbisk compare to manual waste tracking?
- Orbisk offers automated, AI-powered food waste tracking that eliminates the challenges of manual logging.
- Manual waste tracking is time-consuming, prone to human error, and often incomplete – leading to unreliable data and limited impact.
- Orbisk uses the Orbi device with AI image recognition to automatically recognize food waste (categories, ingredients, and waste streams). It requires no manual input or staff training, provides real-time analytics, and generates actionable reports that lead to measurable savings.
- With Orbisk, kitchens typically achieve 30–70% food waste reduction and reach ROI within months, results that are nearly impossible with manual tracking.
For a hotel with 7-12 kitchens, what’s the best solution for food waste?
- For a hotel operating 7 to 12 kitchens, the best-fit Orbisk solution is Excellence.
- Excellence delivers ingredient-level insights across all kitchens in a single location, enabling precise analysis of waste patterns at scale.
- Hotels benefit from weekly reports, tailored tips, and actionable dashboards to standardize practices and reduce waste across multiple outlets.
- If the hotel is part of a chain with multiple properties, the Enterprise tier is the next step. Enterprise includes all Excellence features, plus an HQ dashboard, centralized reporting, and a dedicated account manager – ideal for multi-site operations.
How many ingredients and categories can the Orbi recognize?
- The Orbi device uses Orbisk’s patented AI technology to recognize ±20 food categories, 600+ individual ingredients, and Waste stream recognition in all tiers, identifying whether food waste comes from prep, plates, or buffets.
- This advanced recognition ensures operators not only know what food is wasted, but also where and why, enabling smarter interventions and faster savings.
