Hello!
I manage food safety for a chain of grocery stores in the US, and I am trying to find some software to help us with our temperature checks. We currently use a third-party vendor, but their equipment is extremely unreliable so we are looking for other options.
The process is currently:
- An employee is given a list of areas that need to be temped (deli meat, salad bar, grain bar, hot food bar, soup, grab-and-go wall, etc).
- The employee goes to each listed area, types in the specific item temped, and takes the temperature of the item.
- If the temperature is within the appropriate range, no additional action is needed.
- If the temperature is outside of the appropriate range, they are given a list of potential corrective actions and must choose one, and add optional notes.
- These temperature checks are set for specific times throughout the day, where all items need to be temped between 10am-11am, 1pm-2pm, 3pm-4pm, etc.
- Having the ability to track and trend the results, export reports, etc company wide is also necessary. Automatic daily reports would be ideal.
The issue that I am running into is that most food safety software has tons of other options that we just don't need. We don't need the ability to do internal audits, or temperature monitoring of storage areas, etc.
The other concern is that the software must work with a thermometer that can take both infrared and probe temperatures.
Does anyone know of any companies that I could investigate?
Thanks!
