Star Micronics, a global provider of point-of-sale hardware and printing solutions, integrated with Operandio, an AI-powered operations platform for franchise and multi-unit restaurants, according to a press release.
The partnership combines Operandio's digital food safety platform with Star's mC-Label2 and mC-Label3 multifunction label printers. The integration allows kitchen staff to generate and print food safety labels for preparation, rotation, expiration, allergens and product identification directly from digital HACCP workflows.
The automated system is designed to replace handwritten labels and paper checklists, standardizing food safety labeling across multiple locations and improving product traceability.
"The Star mC-Label printer is an exceptionally versatile tool that brings both durability and flexible connectivity to the kitchen environment," David Rigbye, managing director of Operandio, said in the press release. "At Operandio, we value partnering with experienced teams like Star Micronics that deliver reliable hardware to support consistent food safety and day-to-day restaurant operations."
The compact mC-Label2 features a front-loading, front-exit design for space-constrained prep stations. The mC-Label3 supports label widths up to 3 inches. Both printers support linerless and die-cut media and feature tool-free maintenance.
"Digitizing food safety is only part of the equation," Christophe Naasz, global director of business development at Star Micronics, added in the press release. "Restaurants also need a dependable way to turn those digital workflows into clear, accurate labels at the point of preparation. That's where our mC-Label printers help complete the process."
Operandio's broader platform also digitizes standard operating procedures, inspections, equipment management and employee training to help operators maintain compliance across franchise networks.
