How to

Setting up and recording temperature checks

Define your check points with a safe range, record readings as you take them, and let Shiftbreeze flag anything out of range automatically.

Set up temperature check points

Open Food Safety from your dashboard. Add each piece of equipment you want to keep an eye on — fridges, freezers, hot holds, and display units — and set a safe minimum and maximum temperature for each one.

Record a temperature reading

When someone checks a fridge or hot hold, they pick the check point, read the thermometer, type in the value, and save it. The app compares the reading against the safe range straight away.

Out-of-range readings are flagged automatically

If a reading falls outside the safe min/max you set, the app marks it as a fail right there on screen, so it stands out from the readings that passed. There's no maths to do — Shiftbreeze checks each value against the range for you.

Save reading

Look back over your reading history

Every reading is saved with its value, time, and whether it passed or failed. Scroll back through the history for any check point to see how it's been tracking — handy for confirming readings were taken and spotting equipment that keeps drifting.

Tips

Get the most from temperature logs

A few simple habits to keep your readings useful and your check points easy to work with.

Set sensible ranges

Use the safe min/max that suits each piece of equipment. Getting the range right means the automatic pass/fail flag is genuinely meaningful.

Calibrate thermometers

Remind your team to calibrate thermometers regularly. An inaccurate reading is worse than a missed one — it gives false confidence.

Label equipment clearly

Make sure each fridge, freezer, and hot hold is clearly labelled so staff record readings against the correct check point.

Build it into the routine

Make recording a reading part of your opening and closing routine so check points get a fresh value at the same times each day.

Check the history

Scroll back through a check point now and then. Equipment that drifts out of range often may simply need servicing.

Keep your list focused

Only add the check points that genuinely matter. A short, focused list gets readings recorded consistently; a long one gets skipped.

FAQ

Common questions

What does the food safety feature track?+

Temperature readings. You set up check points (e.g. Fridge, Freezer, Bain-marie) each with a safe min/max range, then record readings against them. The app flags each reading as a pass or fail automatically and keeps a history you can scroll back through.

How does the automatic pass/fail work?+

When you record a reading, Shiftbreeze compares it to the safe minimum and maximum you set for that check point. If it sits inside the range it passes; if it falls outside, it is flagged as out of range so it stands out in the history.
