Even before he founded Operandio, David Rigbye wasn’t a stranger to running businesses. In fact, the idea for Operandio came to him as he saw his process-intensive retail business grow in size.
Operandio
In order to keep track of the seemingly never ending sea of procedures, David teamed up with Paul Stephenson to create a software solution that helped:
streamline all of these procedures;
facilitated staff communication; and
disseminated important resources to staff members.
This software solution would be thoroughly tested and refined into the software today known as Operandio.
However, that is not where the story ends.
Operandio recently expanded their software’s functionality by coming up with an innovative solution to further help hospitality businesses – a simple yet sophisticated automatic temperature monitoring system.
Monitoring the temperature of refrigeration assets is a crucial element of a hospitality business. It is how restaurants, bars, hotels etc. ensure the integrity of their food and avoid potential health hazards for customers.
Yet, this process is currently inefficient, as it relies on both the use of paper-and-pen and it is highly subject to human error. That is why Operandio devised a new system that uses sensors and their smartphone app to complete this procedure in a streamlined, infinitely more efficient manner.
The sensors are easy to install, and they start working immediately. Once they have synced with the Operandio app, they constantly record any changes in temperature, as well as alerting the user in the event that the temperature reaches a level that is unsafe for stock.
For Melbourne businesses, this technology means more than an affordable competitive edge.
When you consider that Melbourne is
a) one of the most startup friendly cities in Australia, and
b) home to approximately 235,385 hospitality businesses, the importance of Operandio’s temperature monitoring system becomes all the more evident.
It is ultimately a tool that helps to cultivate an important aspect of Melbourne’s identity. By making such a crucial process as temperature monitoring that much easier to perform, Operandio grants hospitality startups avenues to improve in other areas.
But what of Operandio’s operations and digital checklist software? Does it integrate with the temperature monitoring system in a way that benefits startup businesses in the hospitality industry? Absolutely.
Startup businesses need to be able to allocate their resources and time effectively if they are to survive. Temperature monitoring is a critical procedure that needs to be conducted, but the paper-and-pen method that was previously used for this process is antiquated. It’s inefficient, it relies on dated technology and business owners have to ensure that it is completed in a timely and regular manner.
That’s where both Operandio’s operations & digital checklist software and its temperature monitoring system work in tandem to optimise hospitality procedures and ensure that a food business is delegating as effectively as possible.
Using Operandio, it is possible for a business owner to digitise a formal procedure for temperature monitoring that staff can access at their discretion. It is then possible for the business owner to create a checklist outlining the temperature monitoring tasks, assign those tasks to staff and then make sure those tasks are being completed on time.
If you run a hospitality or retail business, and you’d like to join the many businesses that have already seen what Operandio could do for them, you can request a free demo here. After all, this synergy between Operandio’s intuitive software and innovative hardware is yet another example of a local startup creating an invaluable solution for emerging businesses in Melbourne’s bustling hospitality industry.
