A smart scale that sees food waste.

Phood SolutionsUnited States2017–2019Computer vision

For a US food-waste startup we built Phood 2.0. An Android app on an industrial touch scale reads the weight over the serial port and takes a photo; a ResNet-20 classifier on AWS Lambda names the food. A Node.js API turns every log into waste reports for commercial kitchens.

How engagements run.

Readiness sprint

3 weeks

Where AI pays, the rules it runs under, and one working agent in production by the end.

Build

6 to 12 weeks

The roadmap delivered: workflows in production, connected to the systems you already use.

Operate

Monthly

We run it, tune it on real use, and report what it handled and what it saved.

On request

Board briefings, keynotes, workshops and ongoing advisory with Nader.

A fixed price and a fixed date, written down before we start. Every engagement is quoted in your currency after a free 30-minute call.

In our clients' words.

Nader's team built the AI behind our smart scale: the app, the model that recognises each food, and the API for our kitchen reports. They tested it on the real hardware, not a simulator.
Luc Dang
CEO, Phood Solutions · Boston, MA
For five years Khatib Designs was our right hand on everything technical. They built our iOS apps, including eCureCare, connected them to our health records, and were there whenever something needed fixing.
Anthony Benigni
CEO, ABS Medical · Boston, MA
We kept Khatib Designs on a monthly maintenance agreement for three years. Updates went out on time, issues were handled quickly, and I never had to chase anyone.
