Foodservice & Hospitality

Unlike the conventional pay-per-user system, TRAKKD’s pay-per-kitchen pricing model is customised specifically for hospitality businesses. It minimises system costs – as well as saving employees countless hours wasted on verifications or data input. This means Albron can achieve leading compliance and quality, without taking a big hit to the bottom line.

On average, 1/3 of our individual carbon footprint is made up of what we eat and drink. One of Albron’s primary considerations is how to cut this footprint. This informed their choice of a system that significantly reduces food waste through rigorous and accurate tracking. As an entirely paperless app, TRAKKD limits the amount of paper discarded in landfill sites, while making detailed calculations for regular food waste savings.

Aside from increased customer satisfaction with healthy, delicious food and beverages, the movement to digital was also well received by staff.  When surveyed, Albron’s employees awarded the app eight out of ten – partly due to safeguarding of working conditions, and partly due to its operational efficiency (namely digital checklists, integrated hardware, timely notifications, and data-driven insights).

Rather than wasting hours checking that kitchen thermometers are working, Compass Group staff now use the LazaPort to verify accuracy in a matter of seconds. The LazaPort also reduces the amount of equipment discarded – as staff can recalibrate their thermometers, rather than unnecessarily replacing them – which also results in copious cost savings.

In 2021, the Lazaport Mono was a Gold Winner at Commercial Kitchen’s Innovation Challenge, a showcase of the most promising newly launched products in the kitchen and food equipment sector. Judges described the Mono as: “…a great concept, ideal for consistency and great connectivity. A solution to an age-old issue.”

With an accuracy of ±0.3°C, the UKAS-accredited LazaPort Mono is the most compact, versatile, and advanced model yet. It is a culmination of years of research and testing designed to benefit commercial kitchens, hospitality, restaurants, fine dining, and contract caterers.

Unlike the traditional thermometer checking methods, the UKAS-accredited LazaPorts provided the NHS with guaranteed proof of competence. By checking thermometers at the critical safety point for food safety (75°C), LazaPorts remove all guesswork from the process.

Following the tragic death of seven NHS patients after eating listeria-contaminated sandwiches, we provided a targeted, strategy-led plan. For the full story, click here.

Rather than wasting hours checking that kitchen thermometers are working, NHS staff now use the LazaPort to verify accuracy in a matter of seconds. This frees up their time to prioritise other, more vital tasks.

The FOM provides a fast and accurate reading of the Total Polar Compounds (TPC) within the oil – an objective indication of oil quality in fryers. This is crucial for consumer safety, given that an increased amount of TPC is associated with the build up of acrylamide, a cancer-causing, customer-harming chemical.

Whitbread saw a return on investment from their upfront costs within just 6 months. Due to no more ongoing cost of (far less accurate) colour test strips, every saving made past this initial period was pure surplus – an average reduction in oil usage of 30%, with some Whitbread sites reporting savings of up to 52%!

Rather than following in the footsteps of other businesses’ vague greenwashing promises, Whitbread decided to take tangible action. Oil is one of the largest consumables across the entire food and hospitality sector – but no longer for Whitbread, following the rollout of the FOM across multiple locations nationwide.
