More overview, less stress for professional kitchens – even when things get hectic.

With CAYCI, Internet of Things GmbH has co-created a revolutionary kitchen management solution, by professionals for professionals.

The digital team member CAYCI springs from the vision of top chefs Peter Rohrmoser and Jan Großheim to optimize workflows, knowledge management, and communication in restaurants, hotels, and chain catering with AI support.

Thanks to the many years of expertise of IoT Internet of Things GmbH in developing powerful mobile applications, the technical implementation of Rohrmoser & Großheim’s vision and concept was successfully put into practice.

CAYCI presented itself to the trade audience for the first time at the Austrian trade fair Alles für den Gast 2025 as a pioneering operating system for efficient kitchen workflows.

The challenge: complexity in the professional kitchen

Professional kitchens today are under enormous pressure to find suitable staff – let alone very good staff. Teams are smaller, turnover is high, and new employees are often only partly trained or unskilled. Language barriers, a lack of routine, and varying performance levels are part of everyday life. At the same time, the kitchen is expected to deliver consistent quality, work economically, and respond flexibly to short-notice changes.

Kitchen work, by definition, is not an orderly process. Many tasks run in parallel, decisions have to be made under time pressure, and plans change constantly. Organization, communication, and oversight take up an ever-larger share of the work. To keep operations stable, you need experience, an overview, and constant intervention – often by a few key people who absorb a lot and hold things together.

The price for this is high. A considerable part of the energy goes not into the actual craft but into coordination, follow-up questions, correcting, and improvising. Stress, susceptibility to errors, and food waste become daily side effects. Kitchens function – but often at the limit of what people can deliver over the long term.

The solution

More team, less chaos. CAYCI creates transparency, efficiency, and stability

CAYCI transforms the kitchen into a seamless, intelligent unit.

  1. The “digital team player” for workflow & station planning

CAYCI is not a conventional inventory-management system but a digital information hub and planning unit that organizes the entire kitchen operation. It links recipes, quantities, and menu plans directly with the workflows and derives from them concrete tasks and responsibilities for each individual station.

 

 

  1. Lightning-fast onboarding & multilingual support

A decisive advantage is the dramatic reduction in training time by 50–70%. By using images and multilingual step-by-step instructions (text and image), CAYCI makes new employees, seasonal workers, and career changers ready to work immediately, without the need for hours of accompaniment by managers.

  1. Stability and independence from staff

With CAYCI, the kitchen runs stably and reliably independently of the constant presence of the head chef or the specific expertise of individual employees. The system gives clear answers to the questions “Who does what, when, how, and in what quantity?”, which ensures consistent quality standardization.

CAYCI creates transparency and structure for everyone involved – from the head chef to the entire team, who can access all relevant information anytime and anywhere: from recipes through planning, tasks, orders, and stock, all steps interlock instead of standing side by side as isolated island solutions.

Benefits

Measurable success and lasting value

  • CAYCI delivers measurable success. Calculations show increased efficiency of around 35 percent and a reduction in staff turnover of about 30 percent. This significantly optimizes wage and onboarding costs.
  • The qualitative improvement includes consistent quality, higher employee satisfaction through clear workflows, real-time transparency, and sustainable knowledge management. Businesses strengthen their image and reduce waste. CAYCI boosts quality and cost-effectiveness in equal measure.
