Team check-in
A check-in before every shift. Managers see the action, never the symptom.
Staff answer six questions on their own phone before they touch food. The person in charge sees only what to do.

A cook texts that she is sick
You need the action.
Not the diagnosis.
- Picture 6 am
Picture 6 am. A cook says she is sick, and her shift starts in an hour.
- The question
What does the rule say to do? And do you really want to read what she has?
- The wish
She should tell the truth without worrying about her shift. You should get a clear answer.
Is this what the rule actually says?
Six answers, six outcomes.
The worst answer wins.
Each result follows the Food Code. The screen shows what to do. The rule for each one is here.
- OK to work. Nothing to do (Food Code 2-201.11).
- Can work with care. Stay off ready-to-eat food and drinks today, and wash hands often (the safer choice, Food Code 2-201.12).
- Cover it first. A cut or sore needs a bandage and a glove (Food Code 2-401.13).
- Restrict. No food, drinks, clean dishes or utensils today. Cleaning and paperwork only (Food Code 2-201.12).
- Restrict, and the county decides. A diagnosis with no symptoms: other jobs now, food work only with the county health department's OK (Food Code 2-201.12, 2-201.13).
- Exclude. Not working today (Food Code 2-201.12).
- Exclude, and the county decides. Coming back needs the county health department's OK (Food Code 2-201.12, 2-201.13).
The guide explains the rule in plain words.
The rules behind it
Health and clean hands,
with the source.
Employee health: report, exclude, restrict
Food workers report vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, sore throat with fever, pus-filled sores, Big 6 diagnoses and exposures; the person in charge excludes or restricts.
Food Code 2-201.11, 2-201.12, 2-201.13; R392-102-15(4)
When does a sick food worker have to stay home?Handwashing
Wash hands and forearms 20 seconds at a handwashing sink only; double wash after the restroom; sanitizer never replaces washing.
Food Code 2-301.12, 2-301.14, 2-301.15, 2-301.16, 5-202.12; R392-102-14(4)–(8)
How long should food workers wash their hands?
How do they get it? Not everyone has a smartphone.
A link, a code,
or the shop tablet.
Nothing to install. Pick what fits each person.
- Text a link from your own phone. It opens your texting app with the message ready.
- Share a QR code. They scan it and start.
- Use the shop tablet. Each person taps their name and types a 4-digit PIN.
- PINs are stored scrambled. The tablet PIN locks after five wrong tries.

What does it keep, and what does it never keep?
Plain about
what stays where.
- Every check-in ends with a hands-washed step. The screen says
30 seconds before you touch food
. - The worker sees
Your answers stay private. Your manager only sees whether you're OK to work.
- Answers are kept with the check-in record. The manager and owner screens show only what to do.
- The arrival log keeps only "at the shop" or not. It never keeps where anyone is.
- There is one short refresher card a day.
- It works without a signal. The check-in is saved on the phone and sends when it is back online.
The security page also says what is not promised yet.
What does it not do?
What it does not do,
said plainly.
- It makes a plain record of the check-in. The person in charge still decides, and the county still has its say.
- The manager sees the result when they open the app.

Questions
Before you
start.
Can a manager see my health answers?
Not on manager screens. The manager sees only what to do today, like "No food work today". Your answers are stored with the check-in record, and the manager screens do not show them.
What if someone has no phone?
Use a shop tablet. Each person taps their name and types a 4-digit PIN. The PIN locks after five wrong tries.
What does "Cover it first" mean?
A cut or sore on the hands must be covered with a bandage and a glove before food work (Food Code 2-401.13).
Does the check-in text my manager?
No. The manager sees the outcome when they open the app. Nothing is sent by text.
Is Spanish available?
Only for the check-in, the tablet and the invite message, and the Spanish still needs a native reader.
Does it work without a signal?
Yes. The check-in is saved on the phone and sends when it is back online.
