Special Report: Smart machines | Nation's Restaurant News - 0 views

  • From heat-reclaiming dishwashers to so-called smart kitchens and voice-recognition technology, restaurateurs are looking for equipment that reduces waste, saves money, speeds operations, increases accuracy, eliminates guesswork and opens the door to new opportunities.

  • More restaurant operators across all segments are embracing the mission of reducing both waste and costs with the growing crop of energy-efficient equipment.
  •  
    This is a great article that discusses the upcoming technology that restaurants are looking into (and starting to use). There are five trends when it comes to the industry's technology: Energy Reduction, "Smart Operations", Multiuse equipment, Custom Equipment, and Mobile Ordering. This article shows how technology can help on reducing waste, but even the technology itself is smarter and greener, using less energy and recycling the energy it has already used (reclaiming steam from a dishwasher to use in future washes-an example of energy efficient equipment ). Mobile ordering saves wait time for consumers and reduces waste from tickets/receipts being printed. "Smart" equipment is assisting in reducing food waste in kitchens. And Multiuse equipment is reducing energy use/costs. This article is a perfect example of how technology is helping to reduce waste and energy.

Buffalo Wild Wings Franchisees Improve Service With Automated - 1 views

  • implemented QSR's automated kitchen display software and hardware within franchise operators of Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar restaurants to help ensure consistency, food quality, and optimum ticket times.
  • . We are now able to look at what each station is doing and effectively manage our problem areas by finding which employees can keep up and which can't. It has also made our kitchen calm, organized, and quiet.
  • 24-7 supplies a comprehensive set of solutions to these Buffalo Wild Wings franchisees which includes a POS system that is the "easiest and most flexible in the industry,"
  •  
    Buffalo Wild Wings added QSR's automated kitchen display hardware and software to over 40 of their locations. These locations are currently using a ticket-less automated system in the kitchen and have found there are faster "ticket" times, they are better able to determine problem areas in the kitchen, and are able to evaluate employee performance during busy times in the restaurant.When using a "ticket-less" system it is easier to track orders and/or mistakes that may happen because you do not lose the ticket (which is a common occurrence) I currently work at a restaurant that was looking into QSR's automated kitchen system, but we have not done that at this point, but we will move to that eventually. However we do have QSR's newest seating and wait list management technology and it does make a world of difference when managing seating and a waiting list in a large restaurant.
