Get to know the brilliant new tool Izy mAifood, a digital solution that simplifies and streamlines cafeteria operations, making them more sustainable.

What is Izy mAifood?
Izy mAifood is an advanced self-service cashier system that doesn’t need to be manned. It features a payment system that utilizes the latest AI technology. The payment processing has been specifically developed for those managing cafeterias and kiosks in commercial buildings.

Izy mAifood integrates scales, high-speed cameras, QR scanners, and an NFC payment terminal, allowing cafeteria users to easily pay with their mobile phones or cards. The system also offers receipt printing capabilities.

Through AI training, Izy mAifood will flawlessly recognize all types of food and dishes, making it easy to scan meals and products in the database.

Superior overview with the Izy mAifood portal
In the Izy mAifood portal, you get a quick and easy sales overview via a dashboard. The portal allows you to manage products and menus, cafeterias and kiosks, and provides a full overview of tenants and the number of cafeteria users. You'll also see what the most popular products are and which items have been recently added or updated.

Izy Prediction + Izy mAifood = Sustainable cafeteria operations
Using Izy mAifood alone as a cashier system works perfectly, but combined with predictive data, you can really boost both the profitability and sustainability of your cafeteria operations.

We know that predictability is essential for efficient cafeteria management. To plan effectively, you need to know how many people will visit the cafeteria next week and, ideally, what they’re likely to eat. By combining predictive data with Izy mAifood, you have the tools to simplify food purchasing, making cafeteria operations more sustainable with minimal food waste.

Prediction also makes it much easier to plan staffing needs at any given time. Both the amount and type of work tasks can be planned at least a month in advance, making cafeteria operations more profitable. Additionally, employees benefit from better predictability in their daily work.

How prediction works in cafeteria operations
The AI-driven solution effectively analyzes large amounts of data from customer transactions, weather patterns, holidays, traffic, and other key indicators, which can be monitored remotely. The algorithms uncover patterns and trends that provide critical insights and predictions that help you make data-driven decisions.

By analyzing vast amounts of data, you can predict, with an average accuracy of 95%, how many visitors you will have two to four weeks in advance. This gives you excellent control over the inventory and supplies needed for both cafeterias and kiosks.

Reducing food waste
By using Izy prediction and Izy mAifood, you can reduce food waste to a minimum. Globally, food waste accounts for 10% of total greenhouse gas emissions. In Norway, 1.3 million tons of CO₂ are emitted annually due to food waste alone. Izy mAifood can be part of the solution to reduce these emissions while also creating economic value.

With accurate insights, you can plan and make the right choices regarding the type and quantity of food to purchase. Instead of focusing on reusing leftovers, you can simply reduce the amount of food bought for cafeterias and kiosks in your buildings. In other words, profitability and sustainability go hand in hand!

Already, around 40 Izy mAifood machines are in operation, and by fall 2024, they will be integrated with the Izy app for even more seamless management and operation of cafeterias and kiosks.
