This research aims to develop a intelligent software application for waste management in food sector. Numerous researches are conducted on waste management but these works remain in the database of the journals. Realistic implementations of these propositions and theories need tools for management to record, retrieve, transfer , process the data and measure and optimize the processes(waste management). A U.K. study put the amount of household food loss at 33%. According to a 2005 study at the University of Arizona, food waste as a percentage of the total food used is 9.55% in fast food establishments and 3.11% in full service restaurants in the United States. That may not seem concerning, but, to put the statistics in perspective, the same study estimated that the total food loss per day amounted to 49,296,540 lbs in all full service restaurants and 85,063,390 lbs in all fast food restaurants. While this is a projected value based on collected data, it gives an idea of the sheer amount of food that is wasted on a daily basis in foodservice.
