Regular temperature monitoring is essential for food safety. Paddl helps you track and document all temperature checks.
Setting Up Temperature Routines
Create temperature check routines for all refrigeration:
Go to Routines & Tasks
Create a new routine in the Temperature category
Add number fields for each fridge/freezer
Set acceptable ranges (e.g., 0-5°C for fridges, below -18°C for freezers)
Schedule for multiple times daily
Recording Temperatures
Staff complete temperature checks in the mobile app. Enter the reading for each unit. Out-of-range temperatures are flagged automatically.
Hot Holding
Food held hot must stay above 63°C. Create separate hot holding checks for service periods.
Cooking Temperatures
Record cooking temperatures to verify food is cooked safely. Different foods have different requirements (e.g., poultry to 75°C core temperature).
Temperature History
View historical temperature data in the Admin Panel. This is valuable evidence for EHO inspections and helps identify equipment issues.
