Why Our Kitchen Waste Reduction Technology Works

Global hospitality loses over $100B annually to food waste, with kitchens wasting up to 20% of food purchased. Data from operational kitchens shows that what gets measured gets managed. Our AI-enabled kitchen system gives chefs real-time waste visibility, helping them cut wasted food, save labour, and reduce costs.

Mission

Our mission is to connect the commercial kitchen, create a movement of chefs, and inspire other to see that food is too valuable to waste.

Belief

Food is too valuable to waste, and technology can transform kitchen performance.

Winnow’s mission to be people & planet positive

We’re working to reduce our own footprint while helping kitchens reduce theirs through food waste prevention. Food waste prevention also reduces associated greenhouse gas emissions by cutting the need to produce, transport, and dispose of wasted food.

How Our AI-Enabled Kitchen Waste System Works

Winnow’s AI-enabled touchless technology tracks food waste in real time. Using computer vision, it learns to identify what’s thrown away and shows actionable waste data to kitchen teams. This visibility reduces waste, cuts costs, and saves staff time. Patent US: 10290226
