Kitopi has rapidly expanded its operations to over 200 kitchens across 5 countries, disrupting the traditional restaurant industry with its innovative multi-brand kitchen model.

The company operates in a highly competitive market and needs a unified O&M platform to efficiently manage inventory, maintenance, and compliance. With Facilio’s help, Kitopi can focus on growing its customer base with minimal resources dedicated to managing end-to-end operations.

Challenges faced by Kitopi

Speaking on this occasion, Dario Wolfsen, Senior Director of Property at Kitopi, said, "As a multi-brand restaurant company operating a variety of kitchens, we need to control many different aspects to ensure the upkeep of our properties to deliver a joyful experience for our customers."

He adds, "Generally, for the organization wanting insight into key areas of operation, it requires a lot of manual lever-pulling or chasing teams to build a tableau or power BI-style report."

real-time operational visibility

Dario Wolfsen continues, "We chose Facilio over other solutions for its ability to offer real-time operational visibility. The platform’s planned and predictive maintenance capabilities help us reduce downtime, keep opex costs in check, and ensure business continuity across outlets - which supports us as we continue to expand our operations."

They have embraced the Connected CaFM approach because it enables them to rapidly meet the needs of their customers."

Facilio’s workflow automation is a powerful feature that lets us control quote to PO processes, track contract renewals, manage approvals, and more."

He continues, "All stakeholders can access full context, from asset to inventory to quotes and permits on one unified platform. We are confident that together we can raise efficiencies exponentially for Kitopi, making it a leader in its space."
