Food service management for restaurants & food trucks

About FreshCheq

FreshCheq is a food logging solution designed to help restaurants, food trucks, and other food preparation businesses to ensure safety with temperature logs and checklists. With features including measurement logging, temperature logging, measurement scheduling, real time updates, reporting, and more, FreshCheq aims to assist restaurant employees in tracking safety measures.

Designed to automate food safety temperature logs and checklists for food preparation businesses, FreshCheq can be used by both small restaurant businesses and large franchises with multi-location management. Logs can be created within FreshCheq for measures such as food temperature or employee hygiene, allowing users to customize the title of the log, add items requiring checks, and input accepted value ranges or a pass/fail selection. Management can set up schedules to determine days and times that measurements are required to be completed, holding employees accountable for their fulfillment.

The corporate view allows management within larger businesses to view reports and summaries for each restaurant location and the dashboard provides an overview of how many checks had not been completed, how many checks were failed or passed, and how many times corrective action has been taken. Reports can be generated with one click and accessed for any specific day or within a certain time period, meaning they can be easily retrieved during health inspections.


Key benefits of FreshCheq

  • The corporate view gives management the tools to monitor progress across locations and define access permissions when creating logs. Corporate level users can create logs that can’t be edited by store-level users.

  • Set up SMS or email alerts to be sent to specific team members or management when measurements are missed or fail, and customize which times or days of the week alerts are sent for each scenario.

  • FreshCheq can be accessed from any smart device or computer to input measurement from within the kitchen and access reports anywhere/anytime when needed.

  • Users at all levels can view reports to summarize any specific day or time, or within a certain time period to see how many logs were completed, missed, failed, and more. Streak data also provides users with information on the number of consecutive days that checks have been carried out to schedule and passed in each location.

  • Management can add employees to the employee database and assign logs and tasks to specific team members in order to hold employees accountable for logging their measurements as scheduled.

    So far we have had nothing but a great experience with Fresh Cheq. It is super easy to use.

    It's a great way to record temperatures for safe food handling!!!

    Pros

    The ease of use is probably the best quality. It is super simple to record the temperatures, and also to change the things being temped when you need to. For a restaurant like ours that changes the menu every few weeks, this is very hellpful.

    Cons

    Really the only thing I don't like is that once you type in a temperature there is not a way to go back and change a temperature once recorded. When you have a perfect streak going, it's really sad when you accidentally hit a number a get a failing score for a 14 degree temp, when you meant to type in 144!

    Response from FreshCheq

    Hi Tyler, thank you for your review. The platform does not allow temps to be changed so that there is a higher level of accountability. But, we don't want you to lose your streaks, so if you type in a temp in error, just reach out to me and I will correct it so that your streak stays intact!

    We use it for food quality line checks. Easily able to go from product to product cuts down on time vs. other platforms that malfunction or take time processing.

    Pros

    The app is relatively easy to use to perform each task.

    Cons

    Needing to put a PIN to perform each of the tasks involved. Once signed in, it would make sense to be able to navigate from task to task without needing to re-enter a PIN.

    Response from FreshCheq

    Adam,

    Thank you for your review. Please give us a call, 1-855-581-7747. The PIN is there so multiple user can use the same tablet in the restaurant. However, if this is creating a problem and you assign the task to one employee or compete the task yourself, we can show you how to turn the PIN off for convenience.

    Cons

    As I said I'm not too savvy with much technology, I like writing things out. I had to get help to use this.

    Response from FreshCheq

    Hi Charlene, thank you for your honest review. I understand that change can be challenging, but automating restaurant processes is where restaurant management is heading. We offer ongoing training and would love to help you. Please reach out to me personally to schedule some training to make using FreshCheq easier for you.

    We love FeshCheq!

    Reviewed on 2018/02/22

    Pros

    FreshCheq is very easy to use and has been a huge help to get our temp logs more consistent. I love that it will send you a reminder text before you are about to miss a log. That helps ensure that they get done and are not forgotten about

    Cons

    If we close due to weather or a holiday, we have to manually turn every log off for the day and then go back and turn them on for the next week. Would be nice if there was an easier way to do that.

    Response from FreshCheq

    Hi Kirsten,
    We are working on an easier way to close your logs for the day. We are rolling out some new features next month that I am confident you will be pleased with. Thank you for your review.

    It has eliminated all food safety log paperwork. Employees are now excited to use the tablet to do safety logs, rather than bummed about writing it down. Very convenient.

    Pros

    Eliminates all paper records.
    Sends text message reminders to users.
    Easy to configure to fit your business.
    Multiple reports to break down check/log usage.
    Portable functionality when used on a tablet.
    Has a log streak feature to compete with other businesses.
    Customer support is fast and reliable.

    Cons

    No app as of yet, so you have to use the web page. This can be troublesome on a tablet.
    Requires internet access.
