Case Study: The Lodge at Ashford Castle cuts food waste by 90% with Winnow AI

The Lodge at Ashford Castle cuts food trimmings by 90% with Winnow

The Lodge at Ashford Castle, a high-volume hotel restaurant committed to sustainable kitchen practices, sought to significantly reduce its food waste. They partnered with vendor Winnow to implement its AI-powered food waste management system and analytics platform to identify major waste sources.

Using Winnow's data-driven insights, the kitchen team implemented creative repurposing solutions like vegetable treacle and fruit tonic from former trimmings. This approach, guided by Winnow's analytics, led to a 90% reduction in food trimmings and a 58% total food waste reduction. These results translated into £14,000 in annual savings, 11.5 tons of waste prevented, and 29,000 meals saved per year.
