LightBlue: 11 Years of Slashing Costs & Boosting Profits through Food Waste Prevention
Global, 30 January 2024 – From China to Canada, Malaysia to Mauritius, Thailand to Taiwan, there’s one thing in common shared around the world across the hospitality sector: Sustainability matters.
And nowhere is it better demonstrated than in 2023 with the lineup of hotels who have adopted the FIT Food Waste Monitoring Tech into their F&B operations. Reducing food waste goes beyond living up to the sustainability commitments made at the corporate level, such as the Hyatt World of Care program. It also makes practical, business sense in this ever-changing new landscape.
But don’t take our words for granted. These numbers are a prime example of the efforts and achievements our clients were able to make in their kitchens!
Let’s dig into these 2023 numbers:
• 1,340 staff trained
• 1,737,626 meals
• 818,813 kg total food saved
• $4,094,064 total savings equivalent
• 2,047,032 kg CO2 equivalent reduced
• 27% average food waste reduction
And finally, 2023 marked an unprecedented milestone in LightBlue’s history, eclipsing 2022 and prior, with a 300% increase over 2023 in new adopters of FIT. The tech solution is now in the hands of kitchen staff performing their daily operations in over 20 countries.
“Our efforts are paying off,” stated Chef Claudio Rossi from Park Hyatt Jakarta in Indonesia. “FIT Tech is remarkably user-friendly and in 7 months, we’ve rescued 7,282 kg of food and saved 31,313 USD.”
