For enterprise IT teams, integration is often the biggest hurdle. Careit has built the backend capability to integrate with popular kitchen and inventory software platforms—now, Schill says, they’re to partner with platforms that want to make donation logging part of their sustainability toolkit.
“We have an API and we’re ready to integrate with solutions for recipe management, inventory, and food costing,” she says. “We want to make it as easy as tapping a button on the kitchen iPad: five trays of lasagna left? Hit send. That donation is routed to a nonprofit, logged for tax credit, and tracked for sustainability impact.”
Feed People, Not Landfills
With food costs rising, restaurant closures mounting, and emergency food programs dwindling, Schill warns that food insecurity is climbing—even as donations lag.
“There are four times as many people seeking emergency food assistance now than there were before the pandemic,” she says. “And we’re still only rescuing 2% of what’s possible.”
For CTOs and technology leads in hospitality, Schill offers a simple call to action: “Food waste is stupid. Especially when we have the tools to fix it—and people who desperately need that food.”
