Kitchen Intelligence

Take the guesswork out of cooking times and food preparation for restaurants and commercial kitchens.

KitchIntel is a solution accelerator that brings modern intelligence and automation to back-of-house.

KitchIntel tells grill cooks and prep staff…

  • When to drop food on the grill, and how much

  • When to turn the food, or move it to the next step in the process

  • How many items are cooking, on hold, and wasted via alerts

  • Activity history to perfect the process and inform inventory management

KitchIntel directly impacts significant business critical areas:

INNOVATION THROUGH AUTOMATION

  • Build forecasts tailored to individual stores based on historic sales and real-time sales

  • Feed the sales data during the day from the POS system for finer adjustments

LABOR
& TALENT

  • Improve speed of service and customer satisfaction

  • Reduce employee training time & the dependency on tribal knowledge

  • Kitchen workers can focus more on improving the dining experience, food preparation and assembly

FOOD WASTE, CONSISTENCY & SUSTAINABILITY

  • Reduce wastage of food items

  • Better consistency in the quality of food items

  • Support back-of-house food safety and sustainability

  • Accountability on inventory and wastage

From an Android tablet or iPad, KitchIntel informs cook staff when to drop food and how much, based on forecasts tailored to individual stores. These forecasts predict the quantity of food necessary to cook based on a variety of factors, including time of day, holidays, weather, sales data and more.

Staff training is drastically reduced and cooking consistency vastly improved, as KitchIntel alerts when to turn proteins, when to put them on hold or waste food. Staff log food waste by amount and reason and managers receive a variety of activity reports.

According to the Hospitality Technology 2019 Restaurant Technology Study, IT budgets are expected to grow at modest rates, if at all. Restaurant operators are looking for ways to improve analytics and increase employee efficiency while still being held back by legacy systems. KitchIntel is an automation solution that doesn’t require significant reworking of business systems or demand on internal resources.

CASE STUDY: Large Quick-Service Restaurant Automates the Grilling Process with KitchIntel

The QSR has always used a paper-based grill PAR Counts Sheet for the grill operator to determine the number of chickens to put on the grill at specific time intervals. The manual process has led to multiple operational inefficiencies.
