Stainless steel chefeye.ai station in a professional kitchen with a plate on the scale

Kitchen Quality Control System

Every plate matters

Intelligent inspection of appearance, portion and temperature on every dish, before it leaves the kitchen. Consistent quality. Fewer complaints. Happier guests.

Station sensors

  • VISION

    Checks appearance, components and plate cleanliness

  • WEIGHT

    Verifies portion within your defined tolerance

  • TEMPERATURE

    Measures temperature for safety and quality

How it works

One station. Three sensors. One perfect meal

A camera, an infrared sensor and a precision scale work together. The chef places the plate on the station, chefeye.ai checks it, and the display shows a clear result with a specific instruction, before the dish reaches the guest.

Place the plate on the station

The finished dish goes on the station, with no extra step for the kitchen.

Vision checks appearance and components

The camera verifies components, placement and plate cleanliness against your reference.

The scale verifies the portion

Four load cells weigh the plate to ±1 g and compare it with your tolerance.

The IR camera measures temperature

Thermal imaging finds the coldest spot on the plate and keeps the food safe.

Result and precise instruction

OK or NOT OK with a specific reason and how to fix it. Immediately.

Verdict

Clear answer. Clear reason

Every plate gets a verdict the kitchen can act on right away. When something is off, chefeye.ai shows exactly what and how to fix it. The problem never makes it past the pass.

What the system checks

Three checks on every plate

Three independent checks run at once, in one place, against the standard you define. Each has its own tolerance and its own record.

  1. Appearance & components

    Detection of components, placement and plate cleanliness against your reference photo.

  2. Portion (weight)

FAQ

What people ask most

How long does installation take?

We set up and connect the station within one shift. The rest of day one goes into capturing references for your dishes and training the team.

Does it work on any dish?

The system works against a reference you define. It performs best on plates with defined plating; for loosely served dishes it focuses mainly on portion and temperature.

What if we change the menu?

You capture the new dish on the station itself, and a few plates are enough to create a reference. You manage the menu yourself, with no service visit.

How does it learn our standard?

You define the reference: sample photos, weight tolerances and minimum temperature. The system then compares every plate against that, not against some generic ideal.

Where is the data stored and who has access?

Data runs on servers in the EU. Your team has access based on the roles you set; we access it only for support and at your request.

Will it slow down the pass?

The check takes under 0.5 s and happens as the plate is set down on the station. In practice it replaces the visual check you already do at the pass.
