Why Glean
Built for institutional
kitchen operations.
Whether you run a 500-seat corporate cafeteria or a hospital food service, Glean integrates with your existing workflow — no new systems, no extra staff.
Maximized Tax Deductions
Every donation generates an IRS-compliant receipt automatically. Our legal team has structured the process to maximize the enhanced deduction for food inventory — typically 2× cost-basis for C-corps.
Effortless Compliance
Automated documentation for EPA food recovery, health code traceability, and ESG sustainability reporting. Audit-ready records delivered to your team monthly — no manual tracking required.
Zero Manual Effort
Set your kitchen's daily pickup window once. Glean handles matching, driver coordination, and confirmation — your staff gets notified only when the pickup is confirmed. Setup takes under 10 minutes.
Meet Zero-Waste Goals
Turn surplus into a measurable sustainability metric. Glean provides monthly impact reports — meals donated, CO₂ avoided, landfill diverted — ready for your ESG disclosures and procurement reviews.
How It Works
Three steps to
zero food waste.
From surplus logged to donation confirmed — in under 10 minutes.
Log Your Surplus
At the end of each service, your team enters quantity and food type in the Glean dashboard — or connects directly to your kitchen management system for automatic logging. Takes under 60 seconds.
Supports integration with Catertrax, Computrition, and custom POS exports.
Auto-Match to a Food Bank
Glean's routing engine instantly matches your surplus to the nearest verified food bank with capacity, factoring in food type, quantity, storage requirements, and pickup time windows.
Matches are confirmed by the receiving organization within minutes.
Pickup Confirmed + Tax Receipt
Your team receives a pickup confirmation with driver ETA. Once completed, Glean automatically generates an IRS-compliant tax receipt and updates your sustainability dashboard.
All documentation delivered to your finance and sustainability teams instantly.
Impact
Real food. Real impact.
Numbers that matter — to your finance team, your sustainability report, and your community.
Glean turned our kitchen's biggest headache into a strategic advantage. We reduced food waste by 78%, unlocked $40K in annual tax deductions, and our sustainability score improved significantly — all without adding any work for my team.
