Case Study: Compass Group Canada saves $63,000 per year with Winnow AI

How Milton Cook Chill, a Compass Group Canada site, uses Winnow’s AI technology to save $63,000 per year

Compass Group Canada’s Milton Cook Chill site, a central production kitchen in Ontario, was struggling with food waste that had previously been only a rough estimate. The team partnered with Winnow and its AI-powered food waste tracking solution to get a clear picture of what was being thrown away and why.

Winnow helped Compass Group Canada turn waste into measurable action by giving staff images, data, and accountability to spot trends, address “low-hanging fruit,” and refine recipes and batch production. The results were significant: Compass Group Canada saved $63,000 annually, prevented 1.2 tons of food waste from landfill each year, avoided more than 5.1 tons of CO2e, and reduced food waste by value by 18%.
