Food Safety: 7 Reasons to Switch to Digital Checks
Businesses are under pressure to guarantee the food safety of their products, but dependency on archaic practices and paper checklists add to the challenge. That’s why more companies are turning to automation and digital technology to help their staff achieve the stringent safety standards.
We’ve compiled a list of 7 reasons to switch from paper-based forms to digital checks for meeting your food safety standards.
1. No Paper
A digital solution eliminates paper which means no more storing bulky records or searching for documents to prove your operations are in compliance. With digital checks, everyone has instant access at their fingertips. Photos and electronic files can also be stored when visual documentation or evidence is required.
2. Personalise tasks
Food safety templates are easily customisable for specific team responsibilities. Create checks for front of house, kitchen staff, managers and more. Checks can be assigned to certain individuals during certain times or shifts. Plus, checks can be tailored according to your existing process.
3. Monitor progress in real-time
Managers can view real-time status of all the work that has been completed, missed or still in progress. There’s no need for second guessing or wondering who is doing what. And if an issue arises, managers will be the first to know!
4. Take corrective action at the right time
Responding to an issue before it turns into a problem is critical when it involves food safety. Our digital solution actually sends auto notifications to managers whenever an issue is flagged within the system and delegates whatever action is required for quick resolution.
5. Simplify inspections & audits
Since everything is recorded and stored in one place, there are no clerical glitches or human errors. Managers can easily access accurate data from any mobile device, and you’ll be confident knowing there is an auditable trail to prove compliance. Digital checks also make it easy to plan and prepare for third party reviews such as an Environmental Health Officer (EHO) inspection. You will be less stressed knowing procedures are being adhered to and the business is protected from legal and financial liabilities.
6. Access analytics & reports
The ability to collect and analyse data is essential for tracking progress and identifying trends. Our digital food safety solution allows you to generate reports that give you a precise snapshot of your operations and identify patterns or problems that will enable you to improve food safety standards.
7. Streamline workflows and policies across departments and sites
For hospitality operators, the benefits of using digital checks are indisputable. Your existing processes can be automated and streamlined across departments and locations, ensuring all team members follow company standards and perform food safety tasks in a consistent manner.
