Cloud services that empowers chefs

Challenge
The challenge was to create a cloud-based solution for restaurant chains to manage their operations more efficiently. The solution had to be user-friendly, scalable, and meet the unique needs of the food industry.
Approach
The design team researched the food industry and surveyed restaurant chains to understand their needs. They focused on developing a user-friendly, scalable solution that integrates with restaurant operations.
Result
The Hounö cloud solution was well-received by the restaurant industry and widely adopted by chains. It improved efficiency, streamlined operations, and helped restaurant businesses grow, establishing Hounö as a leading provider of cloud solutions for the industry.
A smooth, instant updating of professional ovens in restaurant chains is made possible by Hounö’s “Let’s Cook” Cloud solution.
In larger restaurant chains, the menus change slowly. One reason is technical: it typically costs between 100 and 500 dollars for a technician to manually update each professional oven with new recipes – and most restaurants have several of these ovens.
To get ahead of the competition and meet the food service industry’s demand for more flexibility, Hounö, a manufacturer of professional ovens, teamed up with design-people. The assignment: let’s take a lead in the Internet of Things trend by creating new Cloud services around our products that create real value for our stakeholders and users.
