Classic ERPs stop at the office. smartTONi keeps going, all the way to the cutting board, the stockroom and the production station. Every week, hours disappear into WhatsApp messages, Excel sheets and verbal hand-offs, exactly where margin leaks. smartTONi closes that gap.
The ERP for the kitchen
We bring your kitchen to its best, recipe by recipe, shift by shift, location by location
From single restaurant to central kitchen, smartTONi automates recipe upkeep, ordering, HACCP, costing and training in the background, so your team gets time back for cooking.
Your kitchen shouldn't depend on whether the right people happen to be on shift.
An ERP that understands the kitchen, and takes the admin off its shoulders
Our Strengths
Your kitchen shouldn't depend on individual people
smartTONi turns your recipes, processes, moves and standards into a digital operating system every team member can apply step by step, regardless of experience, shift or location. Quality stays consistent even when staff change or the business grows.
Knowledge stays in your company, not in heads or WhatsApp chats
Recipes, tricks, procedures and quality standards are automatically structured, documented and made understandable for the whole team. New staff become productive faster, onboarding gets shorter, every site works to the same standard.
Chaos becomes control and scalable quality
Instead of constantly answering questions, fixing mistakes and re-explaining what to do, your kitchen runs calm, precise and profitable, even at full pressure. smartTONi makes sure growth no longer creates chaos but a system that scales cleanly.
Before and after smartTONi

- Staff are guided step by step, productive from day one
- Quantities are weighed and automatically verified, quality is measurable

What sets us apart
smartTONi lives in the kitchen, not in the office
smartTONi runs the work right at the cutting board, the pass, the station, every team member gets the right information in the moment of the action, with no questions to ask, no waiting, no detour through the office.
Thanks to AI, master-data chaos is a thing of the past
Recipes and ingredients are created and managed by AI: new supplier offers, prices and seasonal availability flow in automatically, discontinued products are replaced or removed.
smartTONi reaches the guest, not just the pass
The data that runs your kitchen becomes your guest's digital menu at the same time, with ingredients, origin, allergens, recipe and team, in their language and always current, without a single extra line to maintain.

Bonus, automatically included
Every plate becomes a story. Without extra work.
FoodPromise is the digital menu behind the QR code on your table or on your packaging. Your guest scans, no app, no account, no sign-up, and sees on their phone everything you choose to share about their dish: ingredients and allergens, origin of the main products, the recipe step by step, nutrition, the team in the kitchen, and the stories behind it. In their language, always current, always honest.
What makes it special: FoodPromise is not a separate tool. It's the other side of your smartTONi data, while your team cooks, orders and documents, the page for every dish builds itself automatically. You decide per item what's public and what's not. Transparency, LMIV compliance and marketing in one, without a single extra entry to maintain.
- Allergens and nutrition fully compliant, automatically.
- Multilingual out of the box (DE/EN/FR/IT at launch).
- You decide what's public, recipe details, suppliers, chef names.
- smartTONi handles data capture automatically.
A QR code instead of an allergen sheet. A story instead of an ingredient line. Trust instead of claims.

Schedule a DemoFAQ
What does smartTONi cost?
Four transparent tiers: Solo Kitchen CHF 119 / month (one kitchen, one station, one cook — e.g. bistros, food trucks, daycares, self-serve), Site from CHF 349 / site / month (1–2 sites), Network from CHF 279 / site / month with volume staffel (3–24 sites), System from CHF 219 / site / month (25+ sites). FoodPromise and the AI recipe generator are included in every tier.
How does the AI recipe generator work?
You describe your concept (e.g. "modern Levantine, lunch business, vegetarian"); we automatically take into account your existing equipment, your suppliers and your current stock, and propose high-quality recipes that are actually executable. With quantities, costs, allergens and HACCP checkpoints, ready to test, adjust and pull into the system.
How long does onboarding take?
A single site is usually productive in 2 to 6 weeks, depending on how many recipes and locations you bring and how deeply we integrate with your POS, accounting or ERP.
Do I need new hardware?
You can usually keep the computers and printers already in your kitchen. For the line itself, smartTONi runs on rugged Android handhelds and wall-mounted Android tablets (e.g. at the weighing station); these apps are Android-only, there is no iOS version. We add sensors, KDS screens or cart hardware if you want, but you don't have to.
Do I have to replace my POS?
Usually not. smartTONi talks to common POS, supplier and accounting tools through open APIs.
Who owns the data?
You do. Always. You can export it at any time, we don't build lock-in.
Is it worth it for a single restaurant?
Yes. A single site already saves time, reduces mistakes and keeps knowledge from walking out the door at the end of every shift.
What happens if the internet goes down?
smartTONi can optionally run entirely on your own local network, on a proxy server on site. If the connection drops, the kitchen keeps working — no dependency on your telecom provider.
What happens when something breaks?
We're reachable, by phone, mail and in-app. Enterprise contracts come with response times; otherwise pragmatic and fast.
How are you different from other ERP systems?
We rebuilt the ERP from scratch for the kitchen, not bolted a back-office ERP onto it. Per-station guidance, AI recipe generator and FoodPromise, this combination doesn't exist anywhere else.
We already use Excel and WhatsApp, why switch?
Because every hour that disappears into WhatsApp and Excel costs you money, knowledge and nerves. smartTONi turns those tools into a single system that thinks with you, and keeps your knowledge even when staff change.
Do you have reference customers?
We don't publicly name reference customers yet. We built smartTONi together with real kitchens from day one, and the core features already run in pilot operations today. We keep sharpening it shift by shift, with a clear focus: stability, scalability and value you can feel every day.
What is FoodPromise?
The other side of your smartTONi data: a QR code your guest scans to see ingredients, origin, allergens, recipe and the team behind the dish. Included in every plan.
