Winnow has developed an AI-powered food waste reduction system for professional kitchens. A camera above the trash bin and connected scales automatically identify and weigh every discarded item, then convert this data into daily reports that chefs use to adjust purchasing, menus, and portions. The system recognises over 1,000 food items and captures each disposal in under one second. According to Winnow's own data, it is the most widely used food waste management and reduction platform in the hospitality industry, with over 3,500 properties in 94 countries. It is trusted by IKEA, Hilton, Marriott, and Accor.
