ShelfSense

ShelfSense is a mobile + web AI app that helps households and small food businesses stop throwing away edible food. Users scan receipts or barcodes, then the app predicts realistic “use-by” windows (not just printed dates) based on product type, storage location (fridge/freezer/pantry), and time since purchase. It generates a daily “use next” list and suggests simple recipes that prioritize items at risk, while respecting dietary preferences and what you already have. For small cafes and meal-prep shops, it supports batch logging and quick stock counts so staff can act before spoilage. The honest reality: this only works if logging is nearly effortless, so the product is built around receipt ingestion and minimal taps. Monetization is a freemium model with a low-cost family plan and a higher-priced small-business tier.
