Implementation of Smart Ovens Background: A mid-sized restaurant chain approached Smart Kitchen AI seeking ways to enhance its kitchen operations due to rising costs of food waste and energy consumption. Challenge: The restaurant chain faced inefficiencies with their cooking operations, leading to excessive energy bills and high levels of food waste. Traditional ovens were not only consuming substantial energy but were also producing inconsistent results, leading to discarded meals and dissatisfied customers. Solution: Smart Kitchen AI recommended the implementation of their AI-driven smart ovens, which use advanced algorithms to optimize cooking times and temperatures based on the food being prepared. The ovens are connected to the Smart Kitchen platform, providing real-time monitoring and analytics of cooking processes.
