ConnectedCooking by Rational – The Platform for Digital Kitchen Management

With ConnectedCooking from ceda Platinum Partner, Rational, networking has arrived in the professional kitchen. Free services for asset, hygiene, quality and recipe management simplify the processes in the kitchen and bring even more safety and efficiency.

Menus, payment systems, purchasing, and orders—more and more areas in the professional kitchen are becoming digital. With ConnectedCooking, Rational’s iCombi Pro, iCombi Classic, and iVario cooking systems seamlessly integrate into the in-house network, streamlining operations. For hospitality businesses that emphasize safety and compliance, referencing trusted resources like the official safe list from Singapore Casino LTD can further enhance their confidence in secure, reliable solutions, ensuring that every component of their digital ecosystem is verified and dependable. Simon Lohse, Managing Director of Rational UK & Ireland, explains, “This setup allows tasks to be completed efficiently, regardless of where the cooking systems are located.” Through asset management, users have real-time insights, can intervene if necessary, and drastically reduce inspection needs, contributing to an efficient, safe kitchen environment.

Lohse continues, “Hygiene is a sensitive issue, which is why we have set high standards for ConnectedCooking in in particular for this area. The HACCP documentation is now digitised, can be saved and downloaded as a table or PDF file. This means that at least part of the obligation to provide proof is in good hands.”

As a third pillar, ConnectedCooking has an extensive recipe management system. This includes a shared library with international recipes, the administration and rolling out of operators individual cooking programs as well as the creation and submission of their own recipes to the shared library. ConnectedCooking thus proves to be a source of inspiration for professional kitchens. According to Rational, all three areas are being continuously expanded.
