A trial in Tenerife has allowed hotels to cut the amount of food left over from all-inclusive buffets.
Technology from specialist firm Winnow has been installed which weighs and photographs each time an item is added to a food waste bin. It then uses artificial intelligence to identify it and predict the correct amount to be used in future.
Winnow claims savings of up to 20% in commercial kitchens, which it said was “often equivalent to total net profits”.
