Three Digital Food Safety Improvements You Can Make Today
- Quick Temperature Logs
- Automated Temperature Monitoring
- Auto-calculated Food & Date Labels
1. Quick Temperature Logs Drive Digital Food Safety
Temperature logging has come a long way the past few years. Many restaurants have adopted digital temperature probes for more accurate readings, but this hasn’t done that much for speed.
To get temp logs done faster, you’ll need to pair your digital probe with a software that records and stores the temperatures you’re taking. This gets rid of human error entirely, meaning what the probe reads is exactly what your records show.

2. Automated Temperature Monitoring Protects Your Product
Automated Temperature Monitoring is one of the best practices for digital food safety. This uses wireless sensors to constantly monitor the temperature and humidity of your sensitive environments, and sends an alert to your phone if they’re out of range.
Temperature sensors are not only a major step up from taking manual temperatures. They give you peace of mind knowing your food or inventory stock is protected at every location—morning, noon, and night.
