7 reasons to stop logging fridge temperatures on paper
The EHO asks for your fridge temperatures and the sheet is splashed, half empty and missing last Tuesday. Kitchen Temperature Log keeps every fridge, freezer, hot-holding and food probe reading in one offline app, tells you pass or fail as you type, and shows on a dashboard whether the checks are really being done.

The list
Why a ready-made app beats paper and a blank spreadsheet

Instant pass, check or fail against the limit for each unit: green, amber
(above your target) or red (outside the limit)

Editable default limits by unit type
Fridges 8°C or below (aim for 5°C), freezers -18°C or below, hot holding 63°C or above
Dashboard with % of checks done
Missed checks, readings out of limit, an 8-week chart of checks (missed ones in grey), a 14-day chart of fridge temperatures, completion per unit and food check results. Every chart has a text version for screen readers
Full keyboard use, screen-reader labels, a skip link and high-contrast colours

FAQ
Questions people ask
Is this a full HACCP plan or SFBB pack?
No. It is the temperature record part. Keep using your own food safety management system for the rest.
Can staff on different devices share it?
Each device keeps its own records. Use one tablet or laptop in the kitchen, or move data with backup and restore.
Does it connect to probes or sensors?
No. You type the reading in.
