Run it live
Close-down cleaning
Tick the tasks, test the sanitiser against the strength its water temperature needs, add a photo, and have someone else check it.
Ways to run this control
The control stays the same. How you capture it changes, and each way has its own weak spot.
Paper sheet
- What it is
- The sheet on the clipboard.
- Fits
- One small kitchen with a careful owner.
- Watch for
- It can't warn anyone. It can be filled in later, and you only find out at the audit.
Digital form
- What it is
- A form on a phone or tablet that checks each answer as it's entered.
- Fits
- Most kitchens, most of the time.
- Watch for
- It's only as honest as the reading typed into it.
Photo and vision AI
- What it is
- Take a photo of the probe, docket or label. AI reads it and a person confirms it.
- Fits
- Busy lines, wet hands, and proof of what the display really said.
- Watch for
- It needs a good picture. A person still confirms every value.
Audit app
- What it is
- Scored questions, findings, follow-up and sign-off in one place.
- Fits
- Multi-site businesses and programmes that report upward.
- Watch for
- A high score isn't the same as safe food on the day.
