# Zest

> Zest is an AI-driven platform that helps food and drink manufacturers see, understand, and act on food waste across their production operations. It turns existing production data into end-to-end visibility, waste-reduction insights, and redistribution workflows.

Zest is operated by Wonki Collective Ltd (trading as Zest), based in London, UK. The platform is set up by the Zest team as part of onboarding; there is no self-serve sign-up. To evaluate Zest, book a demo.

## Key facts

- What it is: a production analytics platform for food and drink manufacturers that reduces food waste.
- Who it's for: operations teams needing actionable visibility into production performance, and senior stakeholders needing a reliable picture of cost and efficiency at site level.
- Core capabilities: waste tracking and insights (full transparency, real-time waste alerts, predictive analysis) and redistribution (automated partner matching, seamless logistics, optimised recovery).
- Why it matters: ~40% of food produced never reaches a shelf; manufacturing loses ~7x more than retail, and ~70% of manufacturing-stage waste is edible. Waste adds an estimated 5-10% to cost of goods.
