How Vinci's Pizza Increased Kitchen Output by 50% with a Custom Timer System

“The timer system was an overnight game changer. We increased our output by around 50% without changing the way we make pizza.”

When Vinci's Pizza quickly became one of Napier's busiest dining destinations, growing demand created new challenges in the kitchen. As more orders flowed through the ovens, the team needed a better way to manage cooking times, maintain consistency, and keep service running smoothly. Foxbyte partnered with Vinci's Pizza to develop a custom solution that transformed their workflow and delivered measurable results.

The Problem

• Upon opening, the restaurant quickly reached maximum capacity, creating operational challenges during busy service periods.

• Staff relied on multiple manual kitchen timers that were difficult to read and distinguish when several alarms sounded at once.

• The lack of precision led to burnt pizzas, missed timing cues, and inconsistent cooking results.

• Managing oven stone temperature became increasingly difficult, as every pizza placed in the oven affected cooking performance and consistency.
