AI-powered food waste prevention for resort kitchens
Resort buffets run at high volume and can't look empty, so kitchens over-produce to stay safe. Winnow measures what actually gets thrown away, outlet by outlet, service by service. Resort teams use it to control food costs across high-volume buffets, without changing the guest experience. The buffet still looks full.
Trusted by Iberostar, Royalton, Centara and Hilton resorts, in 90+ countries.

Why resorts choose Winnow for food waste prevention

Built for high-volume buffet service
Automatic capture keeps up with peak turnover, so nothing gets skipped at the moment waste is highest.

Every outlet on the property
Buffet, speciality restaurants, bars, and staff dining all report into one place, so you can see which outlets drive the loss.

Pilot to portfolio
Most groups start in one or two resorts to establish a baseline, then scale. Iberostar rolled Winnow out across more than 100 properties.
