Temperature-sensing system

At Per Se, in New York, there is a system of sensors in all the refrigerators. The sensors keep track of the temperature in the fridges, and can alert staff members by e-mail if any fridges go above normal for too long. This screen shows the temperatures in all the kitchen's fridges.

A behind-the-scenes story on the technology and gear of The French Laundry and Per Se can be found here.
