Case Study: OzHarvest achieves reduced food waste and a successful low‑waste pop‑up with Kounta

OzHarvest - Customer Case Study

OzHarvest, Australia’s leading food rescue organisation, set out to eliminate food waste by launching Sydney’s first low‑waste pop‑up cafe. To address the core challenge of making waste visible and removing inefficiencies in hospitality operations, OzHarvest partnered with kounta, using kounta’s point‑of‑sale platform to power the Gratia‑hosted cafe and link sales with inventory and kitchen operations.

kounta implemented a centralised POS solution that connected supply, production and sales data, giving the team real‑time visibility of stock and daily waste so they could weigh and track losses, run specials, tighten menus and optimise staff workflows. The result supported OzHarvest’s zero‑waste mission by diverting ingredients from landfill into menu items, increasing public engagement at the pop‑up and providing operators with the tools to reduce inefficiency and improve margins.
