The full story

In one of the hotel kitchens, Intercontinental Mark Hopkins had problems with a refrigerator failing at the most inconvenient time with no staff around. This caused financial loss and potential risk for customers.

The team adopted Phenium which allows them to collect up to 1500 temperature readings every day. This insight – connected to the Alerts and Quests functionality – advises the team on the best way to optimize their cooling equipment for peak performance.

‘Often adopting new technology can be hard, but Phenium is really simple to use.’ explained Micheal Pace, General Manager at Intercontinental Mark Hopkins. ‘We are benefitting from the instant positive effects of installing it. It saves us time, money and lets our staff focus on other, important aspects of running the kitchens.’
