Restaurants throw away at 10pm what they could have sold at 5pm

The problem
Independent restaurants know by late afternoon which dishes will not sell out, yet the existing surplus-food apps take a large cut and require staff to photograph and list items every day. Owners I talked to stopped using them within weeks. The pain is real, the current tools are built for chains with a marketing person.
