Tag yourself: offsite edition 🧖🗻☀️🍴🥱

(Our team’s pets might not be with us, but if anyone taught us how to have a good time, it was probably them.)

KITRO is temporarily OOO 😎

Our entire team gathered around beautiful Megève, France for our offsite! 🇫🇷

With people usually spread out across the world, all of us coming together for the next four days feels really special.

The stunning backdrop of the French Alps also doesn’t hurt ⛰️ 😌

Catch you later!

Seeing our co-founder Anastasia’s name in print across two pages of Revista Hostelería is kind of a moment. 🥹

The piece is about something we talk about every day – the shift happening right now in hospitality, where food waste stops being “just how it is” and starts being something kitchens actually measure, manage, and fix.

Spain’s new food waste law is part of it. So is the data. So is a generation of chefs and F&B teams who are just... done guessing. 👏

Issue 98. Go find it. 👀

It’s finally here 🔥

OFF CUTS is a new interview series where KITRO sits down with working chefs and F&B professionals for honest, unfiltered conversations about food waste: what they’ve figured out, what the industry is still getting wrong, and practical tips for your kitchen.

For Interview #001, we spoke with Omar Shihab – Founder, F&B Director, and Chief Sustainability Officer of BOCA in Dubai. With sustainability written into its founding, BOCA holds a MICHELIN Green Star, won “The Sustainable Restaurant” at MENA’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025, and runs one of the most consciously managed kitchens in the region.

We tried to map what goes on inside a chef’s brain on a busy day. This image only covers a fraction, and we can't fix most of it – staffing nightmares and last-minute dietary requests are yours to keep. 😬

But the waste tracking? That one we took off the list entirely. 😮‍💨 The KITRO TARE handles it automatically. The team throws trash the way they always have, nobody needs to gets trained on anything, and our food waste experts take care of the dashboard so the chef doesn’t have to. It’s the least dramatic thing you could add to a kitchen, which is exactly the point.

The dramatic part is usually the results: up to 60% less edible food waste, just through tiny changes guided by experts who understand what a realistic measure looks like in a kitchen like yours.

Take one thing off your mind today. ♥️

At this point, the tension between sustainability commitments and protecting the bottom line is almost a hospitality tradition 🙂‍↕️ but not many people say it out loud 🤫

Pestana Hotel Group’s Area Manager Algarve, João Paulo Barros, is very open about it – and about the solution that allowed them to fulfill both.

Since tracking kitchen losses with KITRO, they have:
♻️ 60% less edible waste
♻️ roughly a tonne of product saved
♻️ 90,000 euros in annual impact.

For years, food waste reduction in hospitality operated largely on good faith – voluntary targets, sustainability pledges, aspirational language in annual reports.

What recent news signals is that now, the infrastructure for actual accountability is being built. Commercial contracts are embedding food waste targets; government are writing checks; industry analysts are listing waste reduction alongside food safety rather than under sustainability.

The “we’re working on it” answer has shorter legs every quarter. If your team isn’t yet tracking waste in a way that produces numbers you can stand behind, it might be time to start.

“Just do it.”

Says Marco Pinto Moura, General Manager at Pestana Alvor Praia, on implementing KITRO. “The numbers speak for themselves.”

And they do:
☑️ 47% less edible waste.
☑️ €40,670 saved.
☑️ 697% ROI.
Per property, per year.

Swipe for five kitchen decisions that got them there. ➡️

A hotel with 3–4 outlets is throwing away €565–710 worth of edible food every single day.

That’s €225,000 a year walking out in bin bags. 🥵

The kitchens we work with bring food costs down by 2–8% annually. When you can see exactly which ingredients and which service periods are driving waste, the decisions that follow are a lot easier to make.

Most kitchens already know waste is costing them. Fewer know exactly how much, or where to start.

Before Spain made food waste measurement a legal requirement, Pestana Hotel Group was already doing it.

Portugal’s largest hospitality group – with properties in Madrid and Barcelona – started tracking kitchen losses with KITRO in 2024.

By the end of year one, they’d recovered around €300,000 in F&B costs and saved 30 tonnes of edible food.

As João Paulo Araújo, their Area Manager Algarve, put it: “KITRO helped us approach food cost in a way we hadn’t done before – not through the product itself, but through waste and surplus management.”

Now, with Ley 1/2025 in force, Spanish operators are required to measure their surplus and document reduction plans. Pestana’s Spanish properties are already ahead of that curve – and the results from their Portuguese sites show what’s possible once the numbers are on the table.

Our co-founder Anastasia Hofmann sat down with InfoHoreca to talk through what the Pestana story tells operators who are only now starting to ask the right questions.
