Proven food waste solutions for Hospitality & Gaming

Because fast-paced F&B programs require an efficient solution

Hospitality foodservice is a critical element of the guest experience and a direct reflection of a hotel or casino’s brand. At the same time, food and labor costs have to be controlled and sustainable practices need to be showcased. Leanpath’s food waste prevention platform gives hospitality kitchens confidence that they are meeting guest needs without generating waste. Hospitality brands can live their sustainability mission, with data to back it up.

“You waste food every day, but you don’t know how much. Leanpath allows you to see the waste and understand where to focus your efforts to reduce it.”

Drive waste out of your kitchen

Hotels and casinos are particularly prone to producing food waste because of the common use of buffets and catering guarantees that drive overproduction. In fact, based on Leanpath data, about 53% of a typical hospitality kitchen’s food waste is generated through overproduction. The good news? You can take control of overproduction when you track that waste with Leanpath. Your production sheets become much more precise and reliable.

Engage staff and make them more efficient

Food waste prevention engages staff in mission-driven work: they are the global change makers in the fight against food waste. With over 16 years working with hotel and casino clients, Leanpath has refined an easy and intuitive food waste prevention process that’s easy for staff to adopt. Our reporting tools also include deep analysis of staff engagement. And when changes are made to kitchen operations based on Leanpath data, staff stop purchasing and prepping food that only gets thrown out, and labor hours become more focused and efficient.

"The biggest surprise has been how my team, from stewards to cooks, really latched onto [reducing food waste]. Not only did they embrace it, they started making recommendations.”
