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.
Benefits for finance leads
Cut food purchasing cost 2 to 8% per ship, with payback typically inside 6 to 12 months.
Measure savings, don't model them: every disposal is weighed and costed, so the business case is auditable after the fact.
See return by ship, not one blended number, so fleet-level reporting shows which vessels justify expansion.
Capture food waste automatically. Throw food away as normal and Throw & Go identifies and records it. No scanning. No hassle.

We've implemented Winnow across our five hotels in Germany for more than a year now. As a result, we've managed to save over 200,000 meals and achieve financial savings exceeding half a million euros.
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.
We’ve grown satisfaction in a very significant way while also reducing our waste by 50%. It’s a little bit of an unexpected outcome from the strategy, but it’s been really instrumental.
