VITO FT CONNECT Wins Silver at the Catering Star Award 2025

We are proud to share that VITO FT CONNECT has been awarded Silver at the Catering Star Award 2025, presented by Cooking + Catering Inside.

What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it is voted for by industry professionals themselves. Chefs, operators, and decision-makers chose the innovations that genuinely made an impact in real kitchen environments over the past year. That validation matters.

Setting a New Standard for Smart Oil Monitoring

With FT CONNECT, our goal was clear. Make frying oil monitoring more precise, more efficient, and far less dependent on manual effort.

The device measures TPM values accurately, while the integrated traffic light system shows at a glance when oil quality is still within range or when a change is required. No guesswork. No unnecessary early oil changes. No risk of running oil too long.

At the same time, HACCP-compliant documentation is generated automatically, removing the need for manual record keeping and reducing the risk of human error. Oil quality data is captured consistently, reliably, and in line with regulatory requirements.

Digital, Connected, and Practical

All measurement data is transmitted and securely stored via the VITOconnect Bridge, enabling seamless digital oil quality monitoring across operations. This allows kitchens to simplify audits, improve traceability, and integrate oil quality data into existing quality management or inspection systems with ease.

The result is a solution that supports product consistency, cost efficiency, occupational safety, and sustainability, without adding complexity to daily operations.

Recognition That Confirms Market Needs

Receiving the Silver Catering Star so soon after launch confirms what we are seeing in the field. Kitchens are actively looking for smarter, connected solutions that reduce manual work while improving control and transparency.

For us, this award is not just a milestone. It is clear confirmation that FT CONNECT addresses real operational challenges and sets the right direction for the future of frying oil management.

We thank everyone who voted and supported this innovation. And we remain committed to developing technologies that help professional kitchens work smarter, safer, and more sustainably.
