Stay inspection-ready. At every location.  Every day.

We do all of it. ChefAlert professional services mounts the hardware — temperature sensors, gateway, kiosks and label printers — and does the configuration: manager and staff profiles, your food item list with shelf lives, your walkthrough checklists, and your document vault. We train your managers on site the same day. Staff training on the kiosk takes about ten minutes, because there is very little to learn. Tap, done. The one thing we need from you is your IT team to provision Wi-Fi access for the gateway.

About two hours per location — sensors mounted, gateway online, items and checklists loaded, managers trained. A store that opens at 11 is live for the dinner shift. The only thing that slows that down is site network access, so we confirm it with your IT team before we arrive rather than discovering it on the day. For a multi-location rollout, we give you a location-by-location rollout plan before we start.

Yes, and access is scoped by role. Executives get a compliance score for every location on one dashboard, and can drill into any store to see exactly what is dragging the score down: which cooler is drifting, who is missing a food handler card, which documents have expired, and which documents or food items are about to. Managers see only the locations they are responsible for.

Pricing is per location. You can buy or rent the hardware. If you buy: a one-time hardware and installation cost, then a monthly subscription. Setup, configuration and training are included, with no separate onboarding fee. If you rent: one flat monthly fee, with no upfront hardware or installation cost. If any hardware fails, we replace it at no cost for either the part or the labor. We will quote your exact number once we know your cooler count and location count.

Yes, and most chains do. Start with a pilot at one or two stores for 30 to 60 days — long enough to run through a real inspection cycle. We install, you operate it normally, and we review together what it caught before you decide anything about the rest of your estate. Pilot hardware moves with you into the rollout, so nothing is wasted if you expand.

High turnover and busy shifts are exactly why we built the system to be this simple. There is no app to install, and no food items or shelf lives for anyone to memorize. The walkthrough checklist tells a new employee what to do, so their first shift does not depend on catching someone who has time to train them. The same process runs in every store, so when an employee transfers, they already know how to use it.

ChefAlert is live in working kitchens today. We will put you in touch with a reference before you commit to a rollout.

You set who is alerted. For all critical alerts like a failing refrigerator, if the first person does not acknowledge within the window you choose, the alert escalates to the next person on the list, so nothing depends on one person.
