RE:TV are doing amazing work this month to highlight the growing number of innovations that are emerging to tackle food waste. Winnow are proud to feature - check it out.
“What would a kitchen look like if it didn’t have a bin?” Waste is a natural by-product of preparing food at scale, but as David Jackson explains, it currently costs the hospitality sector around $100 billion per year. AI technology is already changing the game – and it could even help us reduce food waste by half worldwide. David is Director of Marketing and Public Affairs at Winnow. The company has trained an AI model to recognise food as it’s being thrown away, using a data set of over 320 million images. It can identify each individual item and record its weight and cost in real-time 📊 With innovative solutions like this at their disposal, commercial kitchens can increase ROI while also cutting global carbon emissions. 🔗 This month at RE:TV we’re weighing up food waste. To learn more about how Winnow are helping chefs run more sustainable and profitable businesses, watch the extended interview with David on our RE:thinking Food hub: https://lnkd.in/estrn4rJ

Congratulations Joanna Chugh and the Marriott UK, Ireland & Nordics teams for achieving a 35% reduction in food waste across 55 hotels last year. The first hotel group to deploy AI food waste technology on this scale in the U.K., Marriott have combined innovation with collective action to drive change. Here's to 2025! 👏
As we start a new year and reflect on 2024, I’m inspired by the power of teamwork. With over 3,000 team members, including culinary staff, kitchen stewards, and F&B service teams working together, 55 Marriott International hotels in the UK, Ireland and Nordics saw an average 35% reduction in food waste during 2024. By integrating the Winnow AI platform, Marriott’s food & beverage teams can now access real-time food consumption and waste data, enabling smarter decisions around ordering, menu planning, and portion sizes. This resource-efficient approach has allowed staff to significantly reduce food waste while maintaining high guest service and satisfaction standards. As the journey moves into 2025 - we are not stopping here. We continue advancing Marriott’s sustainability objectives and addressing the pressing issue of food waste across the hospitality industry. Thank you to the fantastic teams at our hotels making this happen. #EMEAserveourworld #MarriottReduceFoodWaste #serve360 Partners: ENTEGRA, Winnow, The PLEDGE™
