Winnow builds AI-powered technology to help commercial kitchens reduce food waste, lower costs, and operate more sustainably. Its solutions target what the company describes as a $1 trillion global problem, and clients using Winnow's tools cut food waste by an average of 50%. The company operates across more than 90 countries, with offices in London, Dubai, Singapore, Cluj-Napoca, and Chicago.
The company serves the hospitality and foodservice sector - restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract caterers, and similar operations - providing tools that combine data and technology to help chefs understand and act on waste at a granular level. Winnow's stated purpose is to connect the commercial kitchen and build a broader movement around the principle that food is too valuable to waste.
Internally, Winnow describes its culture as balancing analytical rigour with genuine conviction - "equal parts head and heart." It places a premium on transparency, direct feedback, and honest dialogue, both internally and with customers. The company has said it will challenge clients when it believes they are not meeting their own goals. This approach appears to have resonated with its workforce: Winnow was listed in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025, based on feedback from its own employees.
The team is united across a global footprint by a shared interest in food, technology, and the practical application of both to real-world sustainability challenges. Winnow describes itself as pragmatic in delivery while also investing in longer-term product development.
