Irvine, CA – July 2, 2025— CBS NorthStar, a leader in hospitality technology, today announced the launch of KitchenAI, a predictive kitchen platform built to transform how restaurants manage operations. With real-time, per-station data and predictive accuracy within ±2.5 minutes, KitchenAI uses artificial intelligence to tackle one of the industry’s most persistent pain points: quote time accuracy.
Designed by operators, for operators, KitchenAI removes the guesswork from order readiness, reducing delays, building guest trust, and aligning teams from front-of-house to expo.
“This isn’t just a dashboard, it’s a forecasting engine built for the reality of a high-volume kitchen,” said Anthony Presley, Chief Technology Officer at CBS NorthStar. “We’re not analyzing orders after the fact. We’re reading the kitchen’s pulse in real time and adjusting before guests ever feel a delay.”
KitchenAI Highlights
- ±2.5 Minute Predictive Accuracy – Forecasts order readiness in real time
- Per-Item, Per-Station Monitoring – Tracks actual kitchen pace, not assumptions
- Station-Aware– Identifies bottlenecks in real time and adapts pacing suggestions accordingly
- POS + KDS Agnostic – Built to integrate with your existing systems
“We built KitchenAI to solve a problem all restaurants have with sales, external to the restaurant: unpredictability,” said Art Julian, CEO of CBS NorthStar. “With upwards of 30 percent of sales happening external to the restaurant, keeping the promise of delivering hot, fresh food is paramount. KitchenAI was created to help solve that problem.
From QSRs to high-volume fine dining, KitchenAI helps operators say goodbye to cold food, chaos, and customer complaints.
The platform is already seeing strong results, with early adopters reporting reduced guest wait times and increased delivery satisfaction without the need to retrain staff or replace existing hardware. KitchenAI is now available to restaurants across
North America. To schedule a demo, request partnership details, or arrange a media interview, visit www.getkitchen.ai
