Breakthrough platform combines IoT sensors, energy and equipment management as well as predictive knowledge to maximize efficiency and reduce costs

Q. The leading provider of Unified Commerce for Corporate restaurants presented a unique smart kitchen solution at the Leadership Conference restaurant: a fully integrated intelligence system that uses patented technology around IoT sensors and edge computing.

The new functions are based on the powerful data function of Qu VON and offer the monitoring of the devices in real time, energy optimization and predictive maintenance.

This start takes place at a critical time for restaurants that are exposed to increasing operating costs. Repair and maintenance costs have risen by 31% since 2019 (2025 repair report, 86 repairs), while energy consumes almost 6% of the average operating costs of the restaurant in restaurants, according to Carbon Trust. The downtime of devices alone costs the industry an estimated $ 46 billion per year (repair report 2022 repairs, repairs).

“Restaurants face an operational turning point” said Amir Hudda, CEO of Qu. “Operator and franchisee are under strong pressure to reduce the costs without impairing the performance. Our groundbreaking intelligent cuisine gives you the advanced tools that you need to meet these challenges directly, in contrast to anything before reducing energy consumption, the extension of the lifespan and the structure of more efficient, consistent operations across all locations.”

More intelligent tools for more intelligent kitchens

The integrated smart kitchen platform brings intelligence to a completely new level and builds on the existing native technology of Quar to obtain central control and real-time reaction. The system transforms kitchens through a uniform IoT infrastructure into high-performance hubs. The most important functions include:

• Energy Intelligence: Monitors and optimizes energy consumption across important devices and reduces the supply costs by up to 15%
• Real-time device monitoring and alarm: Pursues the performance and visualized problems with digital twins to enable proactive maintenance and to extend the way of life
• Forecast: Use AI to recognize early warning signs before there are any information – downtime and repair costs
• Remote equipment control: Adjust the settings from anywhere and convey unsurpassed flexibility and responsiveness to the companies.
• Temperature and environmental control: Monitoring cooling and HLK systems continuously monitored to maintain food safety standards and to ensure ideal working conditions
• AI-operated forecast: Forecast guest traffic and demand up to the hour with historical patterns and live data. The reduction in the waste helps

These functions seamlessly integrate into the existing back-of-house solutions of Qu, including the Kitchen Display System (KDS), the production optimization disc and the AI-driven order on-call for prognosis and form a comprehensive platform for modern kitchen management.

Restaurants that use the technology of queen achieve unprecedented results and report in the first year through energy savings, the lifespan of the devices and improved product consistency up to 3x ROI.

“This type of end-to-end control has simply not yet existed in a solution”, “ said Biz Innovates Schönfeld, SVP for infrastructure and innovation at Qu. “Since kitchens use a growing mix of more advanced devices, a uniform platform becomes essential. By combining data via electricity, device and production systems, we help the operators to achieve critical visibility and proactively recognize anomalies- before they turn into costly disasters.”

The basis for orchestration for advanced equipment

The queen platform from Quar for the complete interoperability and supports a wide range of kitchen appliances, regardless of the manufacturer. It captures real -time data of temperature sensors and energy monitors, which offers operators a better view of the kitchen and the structure in the areas of systems. This infrastructure also forms the basis for the upcoming orchestration platform of Qu VOUN, on which the extended automation is activated across mixed hardware environments.

This future-forward approach simplifies the management of kitchens and facilities, reduces technical fragmentation and ensures that the kitchens remain agile when new devices are introduced without missing a beat.

At RLC, Quadding also debut a guest tanter in order to improve transparency for digital collection orders and to rationalize the flow of traffic in the business.

“The kitchen is the core of every restaurant, but so far it has been separated from the rest of the tech stack.” Hdda added.

“This revolutionary solution brings together critical systems to improve performance, reduce costs and to offer employees and guests better experiences – and at the same time to promote the sustainability goals.”

By combining the most important kitchen technologies under a single platform, Quat defines the way in which corporate restaurants manage their operation. The result is a flexible, future system that accelerates the legacy restrictions through real-time intelligence, the innovation where it is most important: the heart of the kitchen.
