Winnow Highly Commended in the Food Waste Management Solution Category at the Members' Choice Awards 2026

Winnow has been recognised as Highly Commended in the Food Waste Management Solution category at the Members' Choice Awards 2026, an accolade voted for by hospitality professionals across the UK.

The recognition reflects Winnow's mission to help large hospitality businesses run leaner, smarter kitchens by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to cut food waste in half. Founded on a simple belief – that food is too valuable to waste – Winnow works with hotels, contract caterers, casinos and cruise ships to make food waste visible, actionable and easier to reduce.

More Than Measurement

Winnow is more than a measurement tool; it is designed to drive operational change. Its systems help kitchens understand what is being wasted and why, turning food waste data into practical insight that can support lasting culture change.

Product options range from simple digital measurement to fully automated AI with Throw & Go® recording, which recognises food as it is thrown in the bin. This enables teams to capture accurate, actionable data with little or no effort.

Winnow Hub then transforms that data into daily reporting, helping teams quickly identify waste and drive reductions at scale.

Helping Kitchens Reduce Waste and Costs

Winnow is trusted by thousands of chefs and leading hospitality brands including Hilton, Marriott, Accor and IKEA. The technology is used in more than 3,500 kitchens across almost 100 countries.

By giving teams daily insight into what is being wasted and why, Winnow helps kitchens reduce overproduction, improve planning and lower costs. Sites typically cut food purchasing costs by 3 to 8 percent and achieve a return on investment in under 12 months.

Together, these results contribute to more than $100 million in verified savings each year and help avoid more than 128,000 tonnes of CO2e.

Trusted by Professional Kitchens

With a market-leading NPS of 60, Winnow is one of the most trusted tools in professional kitchens.

Its approach combines technology, daily insight and actionable reporting to help chefs and finance teams understand food waste, improve operational decision-making and create measurable change across hospitality businesses.

Recognition from the Chefs Who Use It

Being Highly Commended is particularly meaningful to Winnow because Members' Choice Awards voters are the chefs who put tools like its systems to work service after service.

The recognition reflects Winnow's mission to connect the commercial kitchen, create a movement of chefs and inspire others to recognise that food is too valuable to waste.
