Case Study: Crowne Plaza Brussels - Le Palace achieves 63% food waste reduction and €44,000 annual savings with Winnow

How Pandox is fighting food waste and supporting its commitment to becoming more sustainable

Crowne Plaza Brussels - Le Palace, a busy hotel in Belgium serving 1,100 to 1,200 guests daily across events, breakfast, and an all-day restaurant, wanted to tackle food waste and improve sustainability. Working with Winnow and its food-waste monitoring system, the hotel sought a way to understand what was being wasted, why, and when.

Winnow installed its solution at the hotel in September 2019 and helped the team analyze waste patterns and make operational changes, including adjusting buffet schedules and switching overproduced breakfast eggs to cook-to-order service. Within three months, Crowne Plaza Brussels - Le Palace cut food waste by 63% and is now saving about €44,000 per year.
