Alto-Shaam Updates ChefLinc™ with New Features

Dedicated to continuous improvement, Alto-Shaam has recently added a number of new features and enhancements to its cloud-based remote oven management system, ChefLinc™.

ChefLinc provides foodservice operators complete control of their equipment, menus and business from wherever they are—increasing efficiency and consistency across multiple locations. Its intuitive dashboard allows operators to seamlessly create, manage and distribute recipes to ovens through the cloud, as well as execute limited time offers (LTOs), regional menu variations and daypart menu variety.

With ChefLinc 2.0, operators can take effortless recipe management to the next level with Alto-Shaam's new global library. Through it, operators can gain culinary inspiration and easily add new recipes curated by Alto-Shaam chefs to their own company recipe library and ovens. By saving any one or multiple recipes, operators can use these as a starting point for their own recipe or limited time offer personalization.

Along with the Alto-Shaam global library, four new value-added reports are available via the dashboard, giving operators in-depth data and insight which can be utilized to create greater efficiencies or identify areas for improvement. The breakdown for these new reports is as follows:

• Door-open—shows how many times the door was opened and for how long.
• Missed cleans—view the missed cleaning cycles for ovens at one or more locations.
• Oven cleaning—view the amount and type of cleans performed over multiple days on one oven.
• Multiple oven cleaning—view the number and type of cleans performed on a group of ovens at one or more locations in a single day.

Kevin Bernier, Director of Product Management at Alto-Shaam, says Alto-Shaam is continuously striving to improve its solutions for customers: “We truly value the feedback and input of our customers and use this towards continually improving and enhancing our solutions to meet their needs. The new ChefLinc features will provide further efficiencies and data for operators, giving them total control of their kitchen equipment and business.”

ChefLinc is currently available to use with more than 20 deluxe control oven models within Alto-Shaam’s portfolio of equipment solutions, including its Cook & Hold Ovens, Vector® and Converge® Multi-Cook Ovens, Smoker Ovens, and the latest Prodigi™ combi ovens. All with varying applications, sizes and capacities.
