Design & Engineering

Design controls that fit your menu, your kitchens, and your labor profile—so every shift delivers the brand promise while cutting waste and elevating food quality.

For multi-unit brands, consistency isn’t an aspiration—it’s table stakes. We engineer embedded controls and connected monitoring that translate your culinary standards into repeatable, role-friendly workflows across every location.

From cooking and holding to refrigeration and food safety, our systems guide teams to do the right thing, the right way, every time—no matter who’s on the line.

Menu-adaptive control logic
Configure time/temperature profiles, cook curves, and holding rules to the specifics of your menu—including daypart, LTOs, and regional variations. Update once; deploy everywhere.
Process-specific workflows
Engineer steps, interlocks, and alarms around how your kitchens actually run—fry, bake, hold, chill, thaw, proof, clean—so execution matches your standards at volume.
Operations & throughput orchestration
Align back-of-house execution with real-time demand and capacity. Connect cooking, holding, and refrigeration data to the rest of your tech stack to minimize waste and out-of-stock moments.
Labor-aware UX
Role-based screens, icons, and prompts make complex tasks simple for teams with varied experience levels. Training time drops; compliance rises.

Reduce waste with precise controls, automatic setback and maintenance prompts, and connected temperature monitoring that prevent overcooking, over-holding, and product loss.
Improve food product quality via compensating algorithms and smart temperature control that keep specs tight in the real world. Guests get the same great product, shift after shift.
Protect the brand at scale with digitally enforced recipes, HACCP-ready data, and cloud visibility across every market.
