New York-based startup Hungryroot is using artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce food waste and provide a more personalised food delivery experience. Customers answer questions about their preferences, allergies, health goals and cooking habits, and the AI-powered technology recommends recipes and grocery items accordingly. Customers can review and make changes to their order before delivery, and Hungryroot can minimise its own waste by recommending items based on availability. These efforts have led to an impressive 80% reduction in food waste at Hungryroot's facilities, and the company has achieved profitability by efficiently spending and building a business that customers love. Hungryroot has raised $75m in investments to support its approach.
