ABOUT ARAMARK
FROM CHALLENGE TO SOLUTION
FROM CHALLENGE TO SOLUTION
The range of kitchens run by Aramark is wide:
Their Workplace Experience canteens alone serve anywhere from 200 to 1,500 meals a day, in industries from manufacturing floors to bank headquarters to tech offices.
On football match days, VIP hospitality serves more than 2,000 guests. Add to that some major trade fairs and you have over 500 sites across the country, and 7,000 employees providing fresh, handcrafted food every day.
That’s a lot of different kitchens and waste streams to manage – which is why Aramark partnered with KITRO to make waste visible, measurable, and actionable across its portfolio of canteen locations.
With KITRO, they got concrete waste data that highlighted overproduction and allowed Aramark’s teams to make the changes needed to cut waste – service by service, site by site.
