From breakfast
to banqueting.

Hotel kitchens generate the most predictable food-waste profile in hospitality. Breakfast buffets, banquet plating, room-service returns, and dinner service produce steady daily volumes — ideal conditions for on-site aerobic digestion.

The reality on the ground

Pickup schedules don't match service hours.

A typical 4–5★ hotel pays for 2–6 collection trucks per week. Bins overflow during banquet weekends. Odour management becomes a guest-experience problem. Sustainability claims rest on hauler estimates rather than primary data.

Recommended models

GR-250 · GR-500 by room count.

For most 4–5★ properties with 120–250 rooms and full breakfast + dinner service, the GR-250 is the right starting point. Resort properties with banquet capacity move to GR-500. Mega-resorts and integrated complexes use GR-1000.

Frequently asked

Hotels & resorts — questions.

How much food residue does a hotel generate?

As a rule of thumb, hotel food residues amount to 0.2–0.4 kg per guest per day. A hotel with 300 guests therefore generates 60–120 kg daily, which corresponds to the GR-150 or GR-250. Buffet breakfasts and banquets push the volume towards the upper end of the range.

Which Griffon model suits a hotel by room count?

For properties with 120–250 rooms serving full breakfast and dinner, the GR-150 or GR-250 is the starting point. Hotels with 250–500 rooms use the GR-500, and resorts and integrated complexes above 500 rooms the GR-1000.

Which hotels use Griffon?

Reference installations include Le Méridien Lav, Rixos Dubrovnik, Kempinski Adriatic and Pullman Zagreb.

How are banquet peak loads handled?

The machine runs continuously, 24 hours a day, so residues are processed as they arise. Capacity does not depend on collection schedules or bin size.
