Abstract: 
The article presents an innovative waste Container Management System for restaurants which incorporates the IoT and AI to increase effectiveness and decrease waste. Through smart dust bins that has embedded sensors and machine learning, the system can classify and measure food waste effectively in real time. This innovation affords the restaurants precise data on the waste cycles as well as the stock control to avoid over-ordering. The success of the proposed system can be also attested through high classification accuracy of food waste and the usage of models such as MLP which reached up to 96.44%. Through these technologies, food wastage, and operational costs are reduced while at the same time ensuring sustainable practices that have a reduced impact on the environment are employed. In general, the system supports better decision-making and increased profitability in the restaurant business concerning waste management and supply chain management. This optimised approach does away with the wastage which would have reduced revenues, consequently improving the business’ financial performance.
