Abstract

Current global food waste management faces significant challenges as households struggle to track food inventory and monitor expiry date efficiently leading to unnecessary food disposal and financial loss. Existing solutions are often manual and fragmented which create a need for an integrated and automated approach to support smarter food consumption. To address these challenges, this paper proposes PantryPal, an AI-powered platform designed to streamline food management through an automated ecosystem by utilizing barcode technology and AI system to automatically log items and monitor expiry date efficiently. The study involved conducting through literature review, competitive benchmarking and user interview to identify key challenges, followed by developing prototyping, Business Model Canvas (BMC), Value Proposition Canvas (VPC), Environmental Map (EM) and Strategy Canvas (SC). This research contributes to sustainability by aligning with United Nations Sustainable Development 12, responsible consumption and production and national digital transformation agendas which ultimately help users reduce financial waste and environmental impact through intelligent meal planning. In order to assist the actual implementation, scalability, and long-term sustainability of the PantryPal solution, further work will concentrate on creating a thorough business plan based on the verified Business Model Canvas (BMC).
