OilSmart by Open Kitchen utilizes advanced analytics and proactive alerts to provide operators with unprecedented visibility into their fryers and frying operations. This allows for better management of equipment performance, staff behavior, and oil quality and consumption. The benefits for foodservice operators include reduced waste, increased equipment uptime, improved product quality, and better control over oil costs.

According to Jay Fiske, President of Powerhouse Dynamics (a Middleby company), the lack of visibility into fryer operations has been a major challenge for multi-site operators. He believes that OilSmart by Open Kitchen will help bridge this gap and elevate their performance.

The product offers a wide range of reports and visualizations that allow operators to compare locations, identify outliers, pinpoint root causes of issues, and identify training needs. For example, they can analyze top and bottom performers or track oil cost per cook per hour to determine which day parts need more attention. They can also compare one location's oil consumption against the enterprise average or monitor violations in oil quality over time.

OilSmart is part of Powerhouse Dynamics' Open Kitchen IoT platform and is compatible with various brands of fryers that have digital controls and connectivity.

Those attending the National Restaurant Association Show can learn more about OilSmart by visiting Powerhouse Dynamics' booths at 3399 and 4200 in the McCormick Place South Building. For additional information, interested parties can contact Jay Fiske at connect.powerhousedynamics.com/oil-smart.
