Computer vision for kitchen food-waste tracking
Wynn Macau reduced food waste by up to 70% in several kitchens, according to Winnow
Problem
Wynn needed food-waste records that covered the varied dishes served in its resort kitchens. Recording waste consistently was necessary to identify reductions.
Approach
Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace introduced Winnow Vision in 2019. Kitchen teams built a dataset of local dishes and ingredients so the computer-vision system could recognize discarded food. Waste records also helped staff identify surplus for redistribution.
Results
Takeaway
Kitchen staff helped train recognition of local food. The largest reported reduction applied to several kitchens rather than every kitchen at both properties.
