The Journey to the Connected Restaurant
Food service is a competitive industry — modern demands for customization and innovation have only raised the bar.
Every $1 spent on wasted food equates to $14 wasted.
30% to 40% of food purchased in the U.S. ends up in the trash.
Zero-waste and sustainable cooking has grown to a top-10 trend in 2019.
Restaurants use about 5x to 7x more energy per square foot than any other commercial building.
The solution? A more fully connected restaurant environment built on the Internet of Things (IoT)
Temperature sensor: “It’s 2 degrees warmer than it should be.”
Door sensor: “Someone left the door open.”
RFID tags & readers: “It’s time to refill the soap dispenser.”
Security cameras: “A customer just walked in!”
