Enterprise catering at scale demands clarity, speed, and consistency. At Triodos, the Vermaat team used Orbisk to spot exactly what was wasted, when, and why. They turned those insights into action with smart, no-fuss routines. With clear facts in hand, they tightened planning, fine-tuned banqueting, and built a rhythm the team could repeat with their eyes closed (okay, almost).
The result? Dramatically less waste, serious savings, and a rinse-and-repeat playbook for enterprise catering that just works.
Summary
Operation: Enterprise catering managed by Vermaat at Triodos.
Approach: Automated tracking with the Orbi, HQ visibility, and simple actions led by the Vermaat team.
Outcome: Large reductions in overproduction and measurable savings (44% reduced food waste), sustained by a culture of waste reduction and awareness.
The team behind the change
Vermaat has their own food waste heroes, Britta, Kate, Christel, Szabina, Martijn, Desmond, and Dylan, who kept the routine alive on the floor and turned insights into action every day. Their message is simple. What began as a technical tool became a culture shift. Colleagues now look more closely at quantities, planning, and consumption. They talk about waste, learn from one another, and make a difference.
How did Vermaat do this?
At Triodos, Vermaat runs a busy catering operation with daily restaurant service, kitchen prep, and frequent banqueting. They use the enterprise-tiered Orbi to track food waste automatically. The system captures every discard and turns it into clear dashboards that show what to do next. It is fully automated, needs no training, and gives managers quick insight into patterns that cause overproduction and extra cost.
Enterprise value shows up in two ways. First, one source of truth across services makes it easy for central teams to set standards and track progress across locations. Second, the system is built for catering scenarios from buffet to banqueting, so a playbook that works in one site can be rolled out across the portfolio with confidence.

- Use the dashboards to agree on one action per day and review progress often.
