Keep food items fresh
The safety and quality of dishes often begin with the ingredients used—and how they’re kept. Preserve the quality of the food items through proper food storage practices. Use sensors to monitor the temperatures of fridges, freezers, and cold storage spaces where ingredients are stored, and receive real-time alerts for issues of noncompliance or faulty temperature. Perform regular check-ins to see if food items are properly labelled and stored in the correct location.
Reinforce safe food handling practices
Ensure staff members practice proper safety and hygiene procedures when handling food. Establish standard operating procedures for food safety and sanitation for kitchen, dining, and storage areas. Place QR codes around the premises so that staff members can quickly report and address any cleaning and hygiene needs.
“With the SC platform, branch managers are empowered to make sure that protocols are implemented up to the branch levels. We’re also able to highlight their compliance in terms of food safety practices since most of the checklists are integrated with the best food safety practices.”
