The owners started to look for different kind of digital solutions for self-monitoring when they got tired of the unpractical way of writing things by hand. All the paper was complicated to keep organized and to reasonably get documented. It took too much time in restaurant’s hectic environment. They were looking for more facilitation on routines.

Da Mario has got about ten devices set up for collecting data. The temperatures of for example cold equipment and salad bar, and of course the optimal storage temperature for the pizza dough, can be measured with ioLiving Smart Devices.
