January 13th, 2020 – Oslo, Norway: TotalCtrl (Founder Institute Olso), a leading food waste prevention company, has released a new product. TotalCtrl Restaurant is a real-time inventory and stock count solution that offers a new way for restaurants to save time and money on inventory while preventing food waste.

Together with several restaurant chains in Norway, TotalCtrl has spent Q4 2019 developing what will be the most effective stock count and inventory solution for the restaurant industry. After researching opportunities in the HoReCa market, it was quickly revealed that there was a need for a solution that could give restaurants an overview of their inventory in real time to increase control over cost of goods and reduce time spent on inventory.

To test the market, TotalCtrl launched a Welcome Campaign of €39/month, and in less than 30 days, over 450 restaurants around the world had signed up for the TotalCtrl Restaurant app. In December, version 1 was released on the App Store and Google Play. TotalCtrl Restaurant currently has an average sign-up rate of 55 new restaurant customers a week.

To ensure future customer value, TotalCtrl continues to develop new features and updates with experts and customers.
