Daily Temperature Logs are Available in Eight
The most common violations found by health inspectors in restaurants and grocery stores are related to food storage and temperature logging. There is nothing fun about temperature logs, but this is a vital aspect of the food-service industry. Now, Eight users have access to digital Daily Temperature Logs that can save time, reduce paper waste, and keep your logs saved in a centralized location.
The more units your company has, the more critical it is to have an efficient temperature logging system. A well-planned and implemented Temperature Log system makes visits from the health department much less stressful.
Three things inspectors look for regarding temperature logs:
- More than one person should be maintaining the daily log. This provides a level of accountability, and also lets the inspector know that the logs haven’t been “pencil whipped” (faked.)
- They want the log to be quickly and easily accessible. Taking too long to locate the log is a red flag.
- The log should be updated meticulously. Readings for all of your freezers, coolers, hot storage, etc. must be recorded like clockwork.
Another item of importance is having a system in place for responding to issues with the temperatures. If a temperature is recorded that is outside of the acceptable parameters, the employee needs to be able to record how they corrected that issue.
Like most features in Eight, the daily temperature logs can be customized to suit your company’s needs.
Just let us know what temperatures you need to be recorded and at what time, and we will build the log accordingly. The log is completed at the required times throughout the day. After the closing temperatures are recorded, the log is submitted and saved in that location’s personal folder. That way, the logs are quickly accessible when you need them.
