Abstract: A web-based system and database for storing data from internet-connected smart devices used by commercial kitchens and food service businesses, along with a corresponding mobile application for displaying the data on configurable dashboard screens. Data for smart devices from many different manufacturers are viewable in the system, where an interface gateway for each different device manufacturer communicates through an API layer to the system in the cloud. Each smart device displays data in a widget, such as a bar graph or a line graph. Pre-configured and user-configurable dashboards include multiple widgets displaying the data for multiple devices, including devices of different types and manufacturers. Commands such as changing a set point temperature may be sent to devices by authorized users of the mobile app. Push notifications are also provided when a device needs attention, and user roles define authorization for functions such as adding and controlling devices.
