Kitro and Vila Galé join forces to reduce food waste with artificial intelligence

Portuguese business outlet Jornal Económico covers KITRO’s new pilot partnership with hotel group Vila Galé, which will deploy KITRO’s camera-and-scale system across group properties to build more precise data on discarded food and inform decisions on production, purchasing, menus, and buffet management.

Vila Galé administrator Gonçalo Rebelo de Almeida frames the partnership as part of the group’s broader sustainability push, and KITRO’s Iberian market lead, Francisco Ribeiro Corrêa, connects reliable waste data directly to operational efficiency.
