Catering Star Award for Smart Frying Oil Tester

We are pleased to share some special news: the VITO FT CONNECT has been awarded Silver at the prestigious Catering Star Award 2025 by the magazine Cooking + Catering Inside. This recognition is more than just a reason to celebrate - it reinforces our commitment to continuously developing innovative solutions for modern professional kitchens.
What makes this award particularly special is that it is decided by industry professionals themselves, who vote for the innovations that impressed them most over the past year.

VITO FT CONNECT: The New Standard for Smart Oil Monitoring

With the launch of the FT CONNECT, we have developed a solution that enables kitchens to monitor the quality of their frying oil precisely, efficiently and effortlessly - while virtually eliminating the need for manual documentation. The device reliably measures the TPM value and, thanks to its integrated traffic light system, clearly indicates at a glance when an oil change is required. At the same time, legally compliant HACCP documentation is automatically generated in the background, without any additional manual effort.

This ensures that frying oil is changed neither too early nor too late, and that all oil quality data is recorded accurately and in a legally compliant manner at all times - a clear advantage in terms of product quality, cost efficiency, occupational safety and sustainability.

All measurement data is automatically transmitted and stored in accordance with HACCP requirements via the VITOconnect Bridge. This enables kitchens to implement seamless digital quality monitoring that noticeably simplifies daily operations. In addition, integration into external quality management and inspection systems is straightforward, making the FT CONNECT a future-proof solution for a wide range of operational structures.

The fact that the FT CONNECT has attracted such strong attention and recognition within the industry in such a short time confirms that this development perfectly meets current market needs. For us, the Silver Catering Star is not only an award, but also an important validation of our work and a strong motivation to continue developing technologies that make kitchens around the world more efficient, safer and more sustainable.
