_____________________________

Restaurant XY was receiving product quality complaints. although all managed processes were strictly check listed. Connected Kitchen discovered temperature irregularities that were affecting both the goods stored and served. Equipment now monitored for optimal efficiency.

Restaurant YZ has a delivery once per week. This often coincides with the defrost cycle on the walk-in freezer. As such temperatures where reaching +5∞C, with increased risk to stock. Connected Kitchen has optimised the defrost cycles, so they occur outside operating hours.

__________________________

Kitchen 1’s staff inadvertently switched off their walk-in freezer counting stock late one night. When the temperature hit a given parameter the team were alerted at 05h00 and a stock loss situation was prevented. Avoiding this one event has paid for the GRID service contract for the next 3 years.

Kitchen 2’s staff have been producing items and have not been actively engaging in detail analysis on cost of production. Connected Kitchen deployed tools that allowed them to visualize and target areas of production that affect profitability. The targeting ability the Giphy service unlocks offers great returns as a multiple of the service cost. 

__________________________

Operator ABC was not fully sighted on the products transferring throughout their global distribution network. Connected Kitchen assisted in providing a digital portal into the key stock data sets for the group. Deploying our Gate service established insights that aid in preventing the loss of revenue of non-regulation purchases of franchisee network.

Operator XYZ was looking at ways to scale the operation. Connected Kitchen was able to paint a true path of profitability for the operator to work from. Modelling against pricing and production insights was possible within 48 hours of installation, unlocking immediate gains.
