CGI Chefstein: Digital monitoring for professional kitchens

A ‘big picture’ view of professional kitchen tasks

CGI Chefstein is a digital monitoring solution designed for professional kitchens by kitchen experts themselves. The solution, part of the CGI Aromi suite of digital food service solutions, provides an online “big picture” view of all kitchen tasks and enables digital monitoring of task progress and completion.

With CGI Chefstein, all relevant kitchen information is automatically transferred to the cloud, eliminating manual information collection and storage. That information is then automatically converted into status reports that can be used for 24/7 digital monitoring and response.

CGI Chefstein’s digital monitoring capabilities increase the efficiency of kitchen processes, improve food safety and waste management, deliver automated reporting, and more.

Key features and benefits include the following:

Task streamlining and management

Automatically streamline and manage routine tasks to drive operational excellence, improve food and service quality, and save costs. Receive notices of completed tasks and alerts for uncompleted tasks. Send task information and assignments to all kitchen professionals across multiple kitchens in multiple locations. Further, train new employees on various tasks and monitor their success.

Food safety

Set and monitor the temperature of food and kitchen appliances using automatic sensors and receive alerts of any deviations. This enables kitchen professionals to focus on other tasks without worrying about food safety. Further, manage mandatory food safety responsibilities in accordance with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles.

Waste management

Monitor food waste automatically with smart waste scales that are wireless, portable, and easy to install in both kitchens and on plates. The scales collect food waste data and convert it into reports that can be used to analyze and track food waste management, driving efficiencies and improving sustainability.

Hygiene

Streamline and digitally manage hygiene tasks to minimize food-borne illnesses and other kitchen hazards. Measure the cleanliness of kitchen surface areas in less than 20 seconds and upload the data automatically using an integrated digital probe. Access hygiene reports via a dashboard to monitor compliance with hygiene standards.

Reporting

Automatically turn any kitchen data into reports and archive the reports in the CGI Chefstein’s cloud service. Reports include clear visualizations and are available in multiple languages.

Mobile app
