Gastronomy 3.0: Peter Pane is based on the Internet of Things / with burgers and …

Cologne/Lübeck (ots)

Delicious burgers and cocktails and the like, friendly service and inviting atmosphere made Peter Pan great. The makers of the famous chain are now taking another step into the future: in a pilot project in Cologne, they want to use sensors to accurately record volume, temperature and light, among other things, and use the data obtained to make the guest experience optimal. This is how the Internet of Things becomes the godmother of gastronomy.

Cologne’s Friesenplatz can easily be interpreted as a place of innovation: the city’s first underground section was built here, one of the first cinemas was located here, and Norman Foster built the Ring-Karree. And this is exactly where the famous burger chain Peter Pane laid the foundation for the gastronomic experience of the future. For a pilot project, sensors were installed in the guest room that continuously report data on temperature, light, and volume to the instrument panel. With the help of these numbers, the staff can maintain the supply of fresh air, light, temperature and volume at the most comfortable level and make the stay at Peter Pane more pleasant for guests.

Data is the right hand of service

The level of awareness below food, service and ambiance are other decisive factors for a good gastronomic experience. Only the choice of music and volume, good lighting conditions and a pleasant room temperature make a visit to a restaurant a well-rounded, sensual experience.

“We only really realized this when we were eating in a group of several employees,” says Patrick Jung, founder and managing director of the burger chain, which operates under Paniceus Gastro Systemzentrale GmbH. “One of us paid attention to light, another to music, and a third to temperature. Of course, the same applies to employees: no one can focus on all factors. With the help of the Internet of Things, now give this technology a task and use objective measurements for monitoring.”

Peter Bunny is a detail-oriented first mover

For the pilot project in Cologne, Codecentric and cloud service provider IONOS were brought in, who provide the registry and cloud boxes by which data is collected and processed in the dashboard. Once the self-defined target values ​​are exceeded or fall below, a message from this cloud-based system appears; Staff can reply to it.

Technology will not be used to save labor. “Initialization through data will support our people,” says Junge. This is possible not only directly, but also through a subsequent data comparison: if an online guest rating criticizes a measured factor, the measured time and value can be tracked – experts call this “tracking”.

Patrick Young sees the Internet of Things and his burger restaurants as a perfect match: “Peter Bunny symbolizes the lightness we all loved when we were kids. It always lies in the details like music, kids menu, vegetarian options or room temperature. With the help of data, we can We make sure that everything for our visitors pays off in the best possible way for a nice visit. I think: this is not a gimmick, but the gastronomy of tomorrow.

Peter Pane has long experimented with new technologies to further improve the restaurant experience. In this way, guests can view the food on the table via augmented reality before ordering and also (re)order drinks using their smartphones. says Robert Griller, Head of Digital Division at Peter Pane Management GmbH.
