Food safety diary and temperature checks

Opening and closing checks, temperatures and the daily sign-off, ready for an inspection.

  1. 1Open Safety. First, on the Set up tab, add your checklist templates (opening, closing, daily or weekly) and the fridges, freezers and hot holds you check.
  2. 2During the day, staff tick off each list on the Checks tab and tap Submit completed checklist.
  3. 3Log each reading on the Temperatures tab. A reading out of range needs a corrective action before it saves.
  4. 4At the end of service, a manager signs the day on the Diary tab.
  5. 5When an inspector visits, open the Inspection tab and tap Print / Save as PDF.
