The team continues to make progress in building the dashboard from home!

At GreenKode, we understand that as a chef you are not always going to carry a laptop around. But you are most likely to have your mobile phone in your pocket while cooking in the kitchen. We want to alert you whenever your food waste is over the limit without having to check it on your computer. Hence, we are making sure our dashboard works on mobile as well as desktop.
