Fridges and freezer

    Temperature logging

    Every unit on the round. Every reading kept.

    Every cold unit reports for itself. When one drifts, the right person knows and the fix is on the record.

    Example data.

    See it work

    • Each fridge, freezer and the walk-in is a unit with its own limit and its own sensor, read through Wallace in oppiOS.
    • The round takes its own readings. A door left open overnight wakes someone.
    • A reading out of range opens a corrective action and tells a manager.
    • Say what happened and what you did, then recheck to close it.
    • The readings and the actions go into the food safety records.

    A person can still take a reading on the round. Every one is kept, whoever or whatever took it.

    • The round

      The fridges take their own readings now.

      Each fridge, freezer and the walk-in has its own sensor and its own limit, read through Wallace in oppiOS. The round logs itself through the day and the night. A chef with a probe can still add a reading, and it is kept with the rest.

    • Out of range

      A door left open wakes someone.

      A reading out of range opens a corrective action and tells a manager while there is still time to move the stock. The freezer door that did not shut at close is found that night, not by the breakfast shift.

    • Closing it out

      Say what you did. Recheck. Closed.

      The corrective action asks what happened and what you did about it, then a recheck closes it. The reading, the action and the recheck go into the food safety records together, so the story of that freezer sits in one place.

    How it works

    1. Set the units

      Each fridge, freezer and the walk-in becomes a unit with its own limit and its own sensor.

    2. The round runs

      Readings log by themselves through Wallace. Anyone on the round can add one by hand.

    3. Out of range

      A corrective action opens and a manager is told.

    4. Recheck to close

      Record what happened and what you did, take a recheck, and the action closes.

    Questions.

    Do I still need someone doing temperature checks?
    Not for the round. The sensors log each unit by themselves. A person can still take a reading, and every reading is kept, whoever or whatever took it.
    What happens when a fridge reads warm overnight?
    A corrective action opens and a manager is told. A door left open overnight wakes someone, so it can be dealt with before the morning crew walks in.
    Where do the readings end up?
    In the food safety records, with every corrective action and recheck beside them. When someone asks for your logs, they are already there.

    Every kitchen has a manager. Now it has two.
