A 12-kitchen central kitchen chain stops hygiene breaches at source

Uniform, mask, glove and pest detection runs on XCORE-8 boxes in every kitchen, pushing violations to the quality team and to public screens.

Challenge

The challenge

What the site was dealing with before deployment.

Food-safety inspections happened monthly, but violations happened daily and nobody was watching between visits.

The chain had no consistent way to compare kitchen discipline across locations.

Solution

What we deployed

The configuration and how it was rolled out.

  • Uniform, hat, mask, glove and bare-hand detection enabled on cooking-line channels in all 12 kitchens.
  • Pest and floor-spill detection added in storage and prep areas.
  • Short automated audio reminders play in the kitchen the moment a violation is detected.
  • Live feeds displayed in the dining halls, and a consolidated hygiene score published to the quality team weekly.

  • Hygiene findings at inspection fell 64% over two quarters.
  • Kitchen managers coach from daily summaries rather than waiting for a monthly report.
  • The public displays became a visible selling point for the brand.
