Winnow: innovation to tackle food waste.

At HM Hotels, we believe innovation is a key driver in advancing towards a more sustainable hospitality model. That is why we have implemented Winnow, an artificial intelligence-powered solution that enables us to measure, analyse, and reduce food waste in our kitchens and buffet restaurants.

By analysing real-time data, our teams can identify which foods are wasted most frequently and make more informed decisions regarding menu planning, food preparation, and service. This allows us to optimise resources, reduce our environmental impact, and promote more responsible consumption without compromising the quality of our guests’ experience.

The results clearly demonstrate that technology can be a powerful ally in driving sustainability. During our pilot project, we achieved a reduction in food waste of up to 48%, while also cutting unnecessary resource consumption and reinforcing our commitment to more efficient and responsible operations.
