Technology

Technology for circular hospitality operations.

The software layer is being developed to connect food production, surplus decisions, recovery logistics, and sustainability reporting.

Core Operating Logic
TRACK→DECIDE→ROUTE→VERIFY→REPORT

The goal is not another reporting dashboard. It is a decision system that links kitchen activity to physical recovery outcomes.

From Data to Action

Five steps connect the kitchen to the outcome.

01Track

Production, surplus, overproduction, waste, and site activity.

02Decide

Identify preventable patterns and determine whether surplus is recoverable.

03Route

Match material to the best available recovery pathway.

04Verify

Record destination, pickup, processing, or final recovery action.

05Report

Turn activity into operational and sustainability reporting.

Platform Modules

Four connected capabilities.

Module 01

Operator Dashboard

One view of production, surplus, waste, recovery activity, and site history.

Module 02

Waste Prevention Intelligence

Find repeat patterns that can inform purchasing, prep, menu planning, and production quantities.

Module 03

Recovery Routing

Coordinate available pathways based on material, condition, timing, and local recovery capacity.

Module 04

Diversion Analytics

Translate prevention and recovery activity into location-level and network-level reporting.

System Architecture

Software only works if it connects to operations.

Detroit Decontaminated is being designed as a layered operating system rather than a standalone reporting product.
