Food waste software built for café floors
Anteiku is food waste software for independent cafés: staff log waste on a phone in Floor mode, costs come from your menu, and owners see euros lost each day — without replacing the till.
Most cafés already know waste happens. What they lack is a calm daily habit and a number they can trust. Anteiku turns quick floor taps into costed records for the owner, manager, and accountant.
14-day free trial — you are not charged until the trial ends.
Definition
Café food waste software. A tool that records what was thrown away (or spoiled), multiplies it by ingredient or prep cost, and keeps those records organised by day and location — so you can act on margin, not guesswork.
Where cafés feel the pain
Waste lives on paper or nowhere
Busy shifts skip the notebook. By close, nobody remembers how many croissants or litres of milk left the day.
Cost is fuzzy
A tally of units does not tell you euros. Without menu costs on every log, waste stays a feeling instead of a line item.
No rhythm between sites
Multi-location operators get uneven habits — one shop logs carefully, another improvises — so comparisons are unfair.
How Anteiku helps
- 1
Add your menu and unit costs
Start with the items that actually get wasted: milk, pastries, sandwiches, prep batches. Costs snapshot when you log.
- 2
Log on the floor in one tap
Floor mode is a stripped mobile screen for staff. Pick the site, tap the product, undo if you miss-tap.
- 3
Review waste in euros
Owners and managers open the waste log and overview to see what left the shelf and what it cost — by day and location.
- 4
Export when finance asks
CSV exports keep accountants out of your chat history and off ad-hoc spreadsheet rebuilds.
Floor mode — logging that survives the rush
Staff should not hunt through a full dashboard between customers. Floor mode is built for phones on the counter: location first, products as large tap targets, undo for accidents.
- Works as a home-screen web app on staff phones
- Scoped to the active café location
- Pairs with the full waste log for managers
Where the money shows up
Recoverable margin is not magic — it comes from fewer repeat offenders, tighter batches, and clearer ordering. Use the café profit margin calculator for a conservative estimate (we assume about 20% of waste cost can be recovered with daily tracking).
- See monthly waste cost in euros, not only units
- Spot products that keep appearing in the log
- Compare sites with the same logging habit
- Starter from €22/month with a free trial
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a POS integration?
No. Anteiku works alongside your till. You log waste and daily stock against your menu; you do not need Square, Toast, or Lightspeed connected to start.
Who can log waste?
Owners and invited staff. Staff can use Floor mode on their phone; managers keep the full dashboard for stock, insights, and exports.
How is waste cost calculated?
Each log multiplies quantity by the unit cost on your menu (ingredient or prep cost, not selling price). The cost is snapshotted when you save, so later price changes do not rewrite history.
Who is Anteiku for?
Independent café and bakery teams that want costed waste records and daily stock habits. Currencies and date formats adapt to your workspace — you do not need to be in a specific region to use it.
