SEMINARIS Hotel- und Kongressstätten-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH
Berlin
Seminaris Hotels conducted a pilot with KITRO at one of their Berlin locations, utilizing KITRO’s advanced technology, which combines a scale, camera, and artificial intelligence to seamlessly measure and identify food waste on-site. This resulted in a 50% reduction in food waste during the initial phase of the project. Following this success, Seminaris expanded KITRO’s implementation to all of their hotels across Germany. At their Leipzig hotel, for example, a significant reduction in waste per guest was achieved, dropping from 42 grams to 28 grams in just two months (as of May 1, 2024). Furthermore, KITRO’s data has played a key role in raising awareness about food waste, even inspiring a team challenge to further address the issue.
