Typically a commercial kitchen wastes 5%-15% of the food it buys (source: Winnow analysis of over 1,000 kitchens worldwide). A kitchen using Winnow would therefore expect to cut food purchasing costs by 2%-8% which is material given recent hikes in food inflation placing margin pressures on operators. Winnow is viewed as the number one solution provider in this space with operations in 70+ countries and the only AI-based technology of its kind to scale globally. “We are thrilled to have the support of such prominent investors who share our vision of a more sustainable food industry,” said Marc Zornes, CEO and co-founder of Winnow “This investment will enable us to further develop our world-leading AI capabilities, bringing even greater efficiency and impact to our clients and partners as we work together to reduce food waste on a global scale.” “‘We’re delighted to announce ArcTern Ventures’ investment in Winnow.
