Metafoodx is a US food-technology company helping commercial kitchens reduce waste and optimize production through AI and 3D scanning. Its patented smart scanner captures each food item's image, weight, and temperature, links it to the menu, and automatically logs it for production tracking and food-safety compliance. The platform provides real-time data on what is being made, served, reused, donated, or discarded, giving operators the insight to cut over-production and waste. Metafoodx reports up to a 50% reduction in food waste and rapid ROI, and earned a 2025 Kitchen Innovations Award from the National Restaurant Association. Co-founded by Fengmin Gong, the company raised a $9.4 million round in May 2025 led by Trustbridge Partners with BlueRun Ventures and ScalableVision Capital.
