Winnow targets a specific cost in professional kitchens: food that gets cooked and thrown away. Its Vision product sits above a bin and records each disposal. The camera identifies the food, a scale weighs it, and the system timestamps and photographs the event, so staff do not need to log anything by hand.
That data feeds reports showing which items are wasted, when, and why. A forecasting product, Winnow Foresight, uses the history to suggest how much to produce for each service. Plans range from a simpler tablet-based tracking option to the camera-based Vision system.
Customers include foodservice operators, hotels, resorts, universities, and cruise lines. Winnow does not post prices, but it offers an ROI calculator to estimate savings. It is built for kitchens with enough volume that waste is a real line item, and less relevant to a small cafe.
