Peer Reviewed & Fact Checked

1. Cleaning Schedule Log

A QR on each piece of kitchen equipment links to the cleaning schedule: daily, weekly, and deep clean frequency. Staff scan and submit a completion record with a timestamped photo.

2. Temperature Log

A QR at the fridge and hot hold links to the temperature recording form. Staff enter morning and afternoon readings; the system flags any readings outside safe limits.

3. Food Safety Inspection Prep

A QR links to the current Safer Food Better Business (SFBB) or equivalent pack for the business type. Staff review and update ahead of an EHO inspection.

4. Supplier Allergen Information

A QR links to the allergen information matrix for all ingredients in use. Updated when a supplier changes a formulation. Always current without reprinting an allergen binder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do digital cleaning logs satisfy EHO requirements?

In most cases yes, provided they are complete, timestamped, and accessible for inspection. Confirm requirements with your local authority.

Should kitchen QR temperature logs alert managers automatically?

Yes. Configure automatic alerts when readings are out of range so corrective action is taken before a food safety incident occurs.
