AI-powered food waste prevention for cruise ship galleys
You load before you sail and can't restock at sea, so galleys over-provision to be safe. Marine-grade hardware and Wave Filter technology deliver accurate waste data even as the ship moves, galley by galley, voyage by voyage. Crews use it to control food costs, hit environmental targets, and report compliance without the guesswork. The menu stays exactly as it is.
Running in 3,500+ locations across 90+ countries, at sea and ashore.

Winnow is a very powerful tool. It can give you a lot of insights and data that you can use. Winnow is helping me make better decisions regarding inventories, portion size, and menu planning.
What we recognize is that we are going to be saving 500,000 dirhams annually. 70,000 meals and our food waste was coming down by 61%. So the value of that is absolutely tremendous.
For me, production planning with Winnow is a game-changer. It's not just about monitoring food waste — it's about proactively reducing it while maintaining exceptional guest experiences.
