Rational is hosting an online seminar focussing on the future of Asian kitchens on Monday 13th June. It will feature some of the biggest names in contemporary British Asian cuisine who will be discussing some of the challenges facing the industry and how modern technology can help to overcome them.

Joining him will be Kwaz Ali, founder of Indian Restaurant Staff; Dipna Anand, Chef Patron Dipna Anand Restaurant & Bar and Somerset House, and owner of the Brilliant Restaurant; Cyrus Todiwala, chef proprietor of Café Spice Namasté; and Chef Jolly (Surjan Singh), CEO of Jolly Good Hospitality Ltd;
Amongst the topics that will be discussed are staff recruitment and skill shortages. The panel will look at the potential of intelligent kitchens in meeting not only the challenge of staff issues but also helping to save costs and improve energy efficiency, as well as increasing production flexibility and diversifying your menu.
