This Guidance shows how you can enhance your restaurant’s operational efficiency and employee experience through Internet of Things (IoT)–connected kitchen devices. By integrating AWS services with smart kitchen equipment (such as thermostats, robots, dishwashers, refrigerators, ovens, and grills), you can enable predictive maintenance powered by machine learning (ML), near real-time equipment, and inventory monitoring, while also gaining visibility into functional robotic equipment. Through this Guidance, you can generate data-driven insights that minimize equipment downtime, streamline kitchen operations, and enable informed decision-making, ultimately helping you reduce waste and increase revenue.
