Because fast-paced F&B programs require an efficient hotel food waste management solution.


Hospitality foodservice is a critical element of the guest experience and a direct reflection of a hotel’s brand.

At the same time, food and labor costs have to be controlled and sustainable practices need to be showcased. Leanpath’s hotel food waste management solutions give 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.

Drive waste out of your kitchen.

Leanpath data shows 53% of a typical hospitality kitchen’s food waste is generated through overproduction, mainly due to buffets and catering guarantees.

You can take control of overproduction when you track that waste with Leanpath. Your production sheets become more precise and your kitchen more efficient.

“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.”

Make your staff more efficient.


When hospitality kitchens stop wasting so much food, they can stop using labor hours to purchase, inventory, prepare and ultimately discard that food. 

Leanpath data shows that the labor savings from cutting overproduction food waste in half can lead to a 4-8% increase in profitability.

“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.”
