Salary benchmarks
Our take
Food waste costs the hospitality industry over 100bn annually. Kitchens can waste up to 20% of food purchased, often equivalent to their total net profits. This is because chefs too often lack the necessary tools to accurately measure and manage waste. What gets measured gets managed, and by using data intelligently, kitchens can be made more efficient. This is what Winnow has set out to achieve.
The company has developed technology to help chefs achieve greater visibility in their kitchens and make better decisions that lead to dramatically reduced food waste and costs. It does this via the Winnow Waste Monitor, a set of smart scales, and an accompanying tablet app that lets kitchen staff easily log what food is thrown away. That data is then uploaded to the cloud, analysed by Winnow’s algorithm, and disseminated so that food waste can be reduced.
The company has IKEA, Compass Group, and AccorHotels as customers, and estimates its clients are saving 4,300 tonnes of food waste annually by using Winnow. As well as helping kitchens to be more environmentally friendly, it also saves them money (restaurants are an industry where margins tend to be thin). With the growing trend towards sustainability and cutting down food waste, Winnow should have a growing market to expand into.
