Why Food Waste in Hotels Is a Unique Problem 

Hotels face their own set of challenges when it comes to food waste. High-volume kitchens, big banquet events, and endless buffets all create tons of waste. Managing food waste in hotel operations is a complicated and costly job. For example, a single event can lead to hundreds of pounds of wasted food. This drives up disposal costs and hurts the bottom line. 

This partnership is perfect for tackling food waste in hotel settings because it offers a clear, reliable path. The PLEDGE helps you pinpoint exactly where and why waste is happening. Then, Power Knot’s technology provides an easy, on-site solution for handling everything that remains. This full-circle approach ensures that hotels can prevent waste and responsibly manage the rest, setting a new industry standard. 

Proven Technology for High-Volume Results 

Power Knot LLC has over 16 years of experience in on-site waste management. The LFC biodigester is a proven piece of technology, now in its ninth version. It's designed and built in Silicon Valley to be reliable in even the busiest kitchens. The biodigester uses a mix of microorganisms to turn food waste into grey water. This water then goes safely down a drain. It's an incredibly efficient process that completely gets rid of the need for waste hauling. 

The technology offers big business benefits: 

  • Fast Payback: The savings on waste disposal costs often pay for the initial investment in less than two years. 

  • Trusted Performance: The technology has a proven track record across hotels, restaurants, and other big food operations. 

  • On-Site Convenience: You can process waste right on-site. This cuts disposal costs and simplifies operations.
