Jamix and SmartKitchen Work Seamlessly Together to Reduce Food Waste

Would you like to monitor the quantity and quality of food waste generated in your food service operation with even greater precision? Connect the menu items from Jamix Kitchen Intelligence System and precise waste data from SmartKitchen’s automatic Waste Scale. Integration between these two systems allows for more precise actions to optimize food production quantities and reduce waste.

JAMIX Kitchen Intelligence System is a comprehensive software for managing commercial kitchen operations, including recipe management, menu planning, inventory management, and procurement. You can record sales and waste data directly in the menu in the system, making it effortless for you to utilize this information when planning future menus.

SmartKitchen Food Waste Tracker is a digital tool designed to reduce food waste. It also complies with the regulations for recording waste in food services already established by many countries. The Food Waste Tracker helps you optimize production and serving quantities. It is a good tool also for estimating demand since you can track production and serving quantities in addition to waste. Waste data collection is automated with the wireless Waste Scale. SmartKitchen takes care of food safety and helps reduce food waste while integrating with your existing services.

Integration Streamlines Daily Operations in the Kitchen

Typically, commercial kitchens use multiple systems and devices, each with its specific function. However, the information in these systems often overlaps or is partially shared in kitchen operations. You might want to utilize, process, or report information from one system in another. Also, all employees don’t necessarily use all the systems or devices in the kitchen. Therefore, transferring data between them becomes crucial.

Integration enables data to be transferred automatically between systems.

“An important part of Jamix’s strategy is to be an active player in the commercial kitchen ecosystem. We want to enable seamless data flow between different systems and devices, making our customers’ lives easier and freeing up time for other tasks,” says Timo Lehto from Jamix.

Doing double work benefits no one. Therefore, you can store data in one system and utilize it directly in another through integration.

“Digital data should be easily accessible and efficiently usable, considering appropriate data security. It benefits everyone and streamlines routines. That’s why it’s also important to us that SmartKitchen seamlessly integrates with the digital services already in use in kitchens,” says Teemu Lankila from SmartKitchen.

How Does the Jamix – SmartKitchen Integration Work?

Thanks to the integration, Food Waste Tracker has access to up-to-date information about the menu created in Jamix system. The menu items are displayed on the SmartKitchen Waste Scale screen for waste recording.

Recording waste on the Waste Scale is easy and quick:

• Place the generated waste on the waste scale, even in its own container. The container’s weight is automatically subtracted.
• The menu items fetched from Jamix are displayed on the scale’s touch screen. Select the correct item from the list.
• The waste recording is now complete and saved in the system.

Automated recording on the Waste Scale ensures that all waste is recorded. The risk of human recording errors decreases, and the staff will save time for other tasks.

The integration transfers data in the other direction, as well. The data recorded in Food Waste Tracker is immediately visible in Jamix System, where you can analyze it for each menu item. You can use this information in menu planning to optimize future quantities and make adjustments to your menu.
