Case Study: Hilton achieves a 62% reduction in food waste with Winnow

Hilton’s Green Breakfast Campaign – A 62% Reduction in Food Waste Across 13 UAE Hotels

Hilton partnered with Winnow to tackle food waste in breakfast buffets across 13 hotels in the UAE. The challenge was to reduce overproduction while still offering guests a strong breakfast experience, using Winnow’s AI-powered tracking to understand what was being discarded and why.

With Winnow’s scales, cameras, and analytics, Hilton’s kitchens used real-time waste data to adjust portion sizes, reduce variety where needed, and better match production to demand. The Green Breakfast Campaign delivered a 62% reduction in food waste, prevented 30 tonnes of CO2 emissions, and saved 17,000 meals from landfill.
