Powerhouse Dynamics to Unveil Revolutionary OilSmart Solution at NRA Show

Powerhouse Dynamics, renowned for its expertise in Internet of Things (IoT) solutions tailored for the foodservice sector, is set to showcase its innovative OilSmart by Open Kitchen® at the upcoming National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show. This event will take place from May 17-20 at the McCormick Place in Chicago. The OilSmart solution has gained recognition by receiving the 2025 Kitchen Innovations (KI) Award, a prestigious honor that attests to its excellence in foodservice technology.

What sets OilSmart apart is its ability to harness extensive enterprise data, profoundly enhancing the management of fryers and frying operations. This groundbreaking solution provides foodservice operators with crucial operational transparency, sophisticated analytics, actionable insights, and timely alerts—factors that collectively lead to immediate and meaningful enhancements in their operational processes.

For foodservice operators, the benefits of integrating OilSmart are compelling. Users can expect a notable reduction in waste, enhanced uptime for equipment, improved quality of the food produced, and heightened control over oil costs. The significance of these advancements cannot be understated, especially considering the centrality of fryers in the operations of many multi-site foodservice establishments.

Jay Fiske, President of Powerhouse Dynamics, underscored the challenges faced by multi-site operators regarding visibility into fryer performance, staff conduct, and oil quality and consumption. By implementing OilSmart, operators can address these issues effectively.

Further, OilSmart facilitates access to an array of reports and visualizations enabling operators to compare performance across locations, identify discrepancies, examine root causes of problems, and recognize training needs. Among the insightful features are:
  • - Identification of top and bottom performing locations per oil efficiency
  • - Detailed analysis of oil cost per cooking hour to pinpoint critical periods requiring additional focus
  • - Comparative assessments of each location’s oil consumption against enterprise averages
  • - Trends over time regarding oil quality and total polar materials (TPM) violations

The award-winning OilSmart product is a component of Powerhouse Dynamics' larger Open Kitchen IoT platform, demonstrating compatibility with a wide variety of fryers equipped with digital controls and connectivity options.
