Kitchens can bid burdensome worksheets goodbye with this enhanced integration.

Gathering—and acting—on accurate production data no longer demands hours of culinary team time each day.

Jamix has long been known for its best-in-class menu management and kitchen management tools. Now, Jamix is further integrated with StreamLine, Topanga’s prep-to-post-service data capture system. Culinary teams utilizing both systems will work more efficiently, see clear post-production trends and better align each menu plan with diner demand.

Enhanced with StreamLine’s line-level data, the Jamix platform serves as a powerful source of truth in the kitchen.

How does StreamLine work?

1. Operator Captures: A culinary team member uses the StreamLine countertop smart scale to capture the weight of a tray of food—prepared, carryover, or waste—in just one tap, while a connected camera snaps a photo.
2. AI Analyzes: StreamLine’s advanced AI architecture identifies and tags the relevant menu item (and pan used). The financial impact of waste is revealed by pulling in cost information from the menu system.
   
3. Systems Sync: To close the loop and update future plans, StreamLine data is automatically sent back to the menu management system.
4. Chefs Act: Team leads receive regular production updates, focusing their staff's attention on key improvement opportunities and behavior patterns. Through this seamless process, chefs can easily turn today's reality into a better approach for tomorrow.

Why Jamix & StreamLine?

By integrating Jamix’s menu management platform with StreamLine’s fast, fluid data capture flow, teams unlock:

• Post-Production Visibility: StreamLine now automatically adds waste data to the matching Jamix leftover field, eliminating the need for worksheet wrangling or manual data entry to achieve a clear picture of production.
• Time-Saving Automation: Leveraging advanced machine learning, StreamLine (not your team) does the heavy lifting to match and label data with the right Jamix menu item, achieving ~90%+ accuracy. 
• Live Adjustments: Dining facilities using Jamix, like those at Appalachian State University and Ohio State University, can adjust menus and StreamLine will update labels in real time.
• Strong Adoption: A straightforward UI, minimal training requirements, and best-in-class support make StreamLine adoption effortless. Onboarding is turnkey, and support teams ensure a smooth rollout from day one.‍
• Measurable Impact: Kitchens using the Jamix & StreamLine integration have reduced key menu item waste by 50%—in line with industry benchmarks and UN climate goals.

Jamix menu planning is faster and more accurate with easily accessible, line-level data. StreamLine production data is fluidly matched to menu item and associated item cost, showing the clear business impact of overproduced food. And with greater system connectivity, chefs gain 330+ hours back each year that was previously spent keying waste information into Jamix or reviewing hurried, error-prone worksheet calculations.

StreamLine and Jamix at Ohio State University

Jamix customer Ohio State University was previously gathering food waste data with a homegrown solution that relied (partly) on spreadsheets and worksheets. Team compliance was an ongoing issue, so the resulting data wasn’t trusted to guide decisions around ineffective spend or overproduction.

Using the StreamLine and Jamix integration, they saw ~50% waste reductions for common items like bananas and mac & cheese. Over 10 months at three dining locations, team members recorded 16K StreamLine waste observations, representing an estimated $180K of food.

Annette Misenko, Assistant Director of Tradition Dining, shared that “specialized reporting for our leadership team, operations team and line level made communication of waste effortless. There are actionable visuals for us to tweak both production and what was fired on the line. Streamline has become a critical part of our all you care to eat facility.”

Production Planning for Enterprise Kitchens

StreamLine is giving culinary teams a new perspective on the power of better data; rather than just logging food waste, chefs and dining leaders are actively improving how their kitchen operates, without any added complexity.

Every shift has the potential for greater impact when Jamix and StreamLine are fully connected—where team time is not spent endlessly logging data or preparing tacos that go untouched, but creating more of the meals diners want to eat. 

This powerful integration is available out-of-the-box and free of charge for Jamix and StreamLine users.
