Renau SKT Smart Kitchen Timer with Touchscreen

The Renau SKT is a programmable kitchen timer designed specifically for commercial kitchen environments where consistency, timing and task management directly affect service quality. Rather than operating through fixed product channels, it uses a tile-based touchscreen interface — each tile configured with its own icon, countdown, duty cycle and action message. The result is a system that can be tailored to the exact workflow of a specific kitchen, rather than forcing operators to adapt their processes to the equipment.

In a busy service environment, the SKT helps maintain timing discipline across multiple cooking processes simultaneously. Cook and hold functions can be switched easily, and the screen is large enough and touch-sensitive enough to use with kitchen gloves — a practical consideration that is often overlooked in timer design. The control board is fully encapsulated, offering meaningful protection against the heat, grease and humidity that are routine in commercial kitchens.

Operationally, the SKT offers several practical advantages worth noting:

• Unlimited programmable tiles allow the unit to reflect the actual menu and workflow, not a generic template
• Up to 200 job aids — including build cards, operational instructions and cleaning reminders — can be stored and accessed by staff during service
• Configuration is handled wirelessly, so updates can be made without interrupting service
• Optional probe and sensor inputs allow temperature, humidity, current and level monitoring alongside standard timing functions
• Horizontal or vertical mounting gives flexibility for different counter and wall configurations

The SKT is well suited to kitchens where staff turnover is a challenge, or where consistency across multiple sites is a priority. It is equally useful as a straightforward cook station timer in smaller operations, or as part of a broader monitoring setup in higher-volume kitchens. For sites with very simple timing needs, a basic standalone timer may be sufficient — but for kitchens managing multiple processes or needing to embed procedural reminders into daily routines, the SKT offers considerably more structure.

If you are unsure whether the SKT is the right fit for your operation, or want to discuss how it might integrate with your existing kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk it through.
