Sound familiar?

You opened to feed people,
not to chase clipboards.

  • The morning

    It is 6:40, you open at 7, and the morning list lives on three sheets and in your head. Did I do the fridge? Did anyone?

  • The worry

    Opening the doors should feel calm.

  • The wish

    One list of what is due now.

See it work

Two minutes with the real screens shows what your opener would see.

So what does opening look like?

Turn the dial.
Watch Open for food change.

Two opening checks hold Open for food until each has a record. Each one you finish stays on the record. Turn the dial and watch it change. The restroom check is due at opening too, and the thermometer once a week; neither holds anything.

And then the day starts

Now. Next.
Later.

What do my people see? One list, sorted by when it is due.

  • Staff see what is due now, what is next and what is later.
  • Tap the restroom check done, or type the fridge temperature.
  • A late reading is saved at its real time, never backdated.

See the Today screen

Today is where the list turns into one next thing.

What if a reading is off?

A bad reading can't be saved
without the fix.

An out-of-range reading asks What did you do to fix it? before it saves. Then the app says Caught early ✓.

  • The form shows the reading is out of range.
  • Someone writes what they did, in their own words or with a quick phrase.
  • The fix is on record with the time and who did it.

how much.

Logs Utah law requires for your permit are always included, whatever you pick.

Questions

Before you
start.

How many logs a day will we have to do?

You pick. Essentials, the default: Fridge, sanitizer and restroom when you open, the fridge when you close. Once a week, the thermometer in ice water and a pest walk. Standard: Adds a quick pest look at opening and closing, and a fridge, sanitizer and restroom check every 4 hours. Thorough: Checks every 2 hours instead of 4, and the thermometer in ice water at each opening. Logs Utah law requires for your permit are always included.

What does Open for food mean?

It says Yes when the three opening checks (thermometer, fridge and freezer temperatures, and sanitizer) each have a record. It is a plain answer for the person in charge. It does not lock anything.

Will it remind my staff?

Yes. In a browser, when a food safety check is due, the people on shift get one short alert, never at night; people who choose email get it by email once our email service is on. On the iPhone app, once phone reminders are turned on. Each person can turn each one off in Profile. Either way, Today shows what is due and what is late.

Can a cook skip the fix on a bad reading?

The form will not save a bad reading until the fix is written.

Do I need a thermometer that connects?

No. You type the number or say it.

Is the checklist the same for every place?

It follows your permit type, your hours and the logging level you pick.

Your binder is ready when the inspector is.
