About us
We turn recipe data into better food decisions.
FOOD2050 is built for commercial kitchens, canteens and food service. We take what's hidden inside every dish — health, climate impact, cost, sourcing, guest preferences — and put it on the table where decisions get made.
What we do
One source of truth for every recipe.
Kitchens still run on PDFs, spreadsheets and gut feeling. We take those inputs, structure them, and score every dish across four dimensions — including what your guests actually want. Chefs, procurement, sustainability and marketing finally look at the same numbers.
Health
Nutritional balance, allergens and dietary fit.
Climate
CO₂, water and seasonality per portion.
Cost
Food cost, margin and waste exposure.
Preferences
Guest tastes, dietary needs and demand signals.
