Restaurant Associates cuts food Waste by 50% in a Private Equity Firm using Winnow’s AI and culinary creativity

Restaurant Associates, a leader in contract catering and hospitality services, wanted to reduce food waste in a private equity firm in London while maintaining high standards for food and sustainability. The team also aimed to improve kitchen efficiency and find practical ways to use more of what was already being prepared.

With Winnow’s AI insights and dashboard, Restaurant Associates reduced food waste by 50% within 6 months. The team repurposed trimmings and peelings into items such as fruit peel tea, non-allergenic smoothies, kimchi, pesto, and citrus paste, and reported annual savings of 2 tonnes of food waste, 7.5 tonnes of CO₂e, and 4,400 meals saved from landfill.
