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. Their ground breaking technology and global reach perfectly chimes with our approach to backing breakthrough solutions that will accelerate our response to climate change,’ ArcTern Ventures managing partner Marc Faucher said.
