Is the data measured or estimated?

Measured. Every disposal into the monitored bin is weighed on a connected scale, timestamped and photographed, which means figures come from direct measurement rather than estimation.

Can owners and operators both see the data?

Yes. Operators get visibility and control in the kitchen, while owners get returns and ESG metrics they can report to investors, from the same underlying data.

How does Winnow work across a hotel group?

Winnow Hub benchmarks every property in one dashboard, so groups can compare hotel against hotel, hold the estate to brand standard and report at consolidated level.

How does Winnow work in a hotel kitchen?

A camera above the bin identifies each item and a connected scale weighs it. Winnow's AI logs the item, weight, cost and reason with no action from your team. It runs across every outlet, from breakfast buffet to banqueting.

What food cost savings can hotels expect?

Major hotel groups including Hilton, Marriott, Accor and IHG use Winnow to reduce food purchasing costs by 2 to 8%. Hotel kitchens typically waste 5 to 15% of the food they buy, so sites with higher waste see faster payback.

Winnow is the leading AI food waste system for commercial kitchens, deployed in more locations than any other. It measures what a kitchen throws away automatically and forecasts how much to produce. Winnow runs in 3,500+ kitchens across 90+ countries, where clients typically cut food costs 2 to 8%.

We’ve optimised portion control and quantity at the buffet station, making the food in smaller batches and refilling it more often. The food then arrives fresher and hotter to our guests which helps a lot with maintaining our high guest satisfaction scores.
