- Profitable

We're hiring a Founding Product Associate: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/spice/jobs/QwfZ6Qw-fou...


Estimate the ingredients and servings for each restaurant dish, using the menu and 2M recipes. So a "Burger" might have 4oz beef, 1oz american cheese, etc. We have carbon emissions averages for each ingredient from government and industry databases (eg every 1 kg of bananas that you eat generates 0.798 kg of CO2 (based on the production, transportation to store, etc.).

As in whether you walk to pick it up for takeout vs drive to the store to get it? If so then, no.


Do you take into account other greenhouse gases l (e.g methane produced in meat production)?


Co-founder and I built Pepper, an app to find climate-friendly food. You can browse/search millions of restaurant dishes, recipes, and ingredients. There’s filters for carbon emissions and nutrients. There’s also outbound links to delivery sites and recipe instructions. Would love feedback on the app.
