Kitchen Temperature Log App

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.

For UK cafés, restaurants, takeaways, pubs, caterers, care-home kitchens and food stalls. Not for you if you need wireless sensors, cloud sync between several devices, or an app on iPhone or iPad.

▶ Easy Start Here guide included – video tutorial coming to our YouTube channel

Works offline in any desktop browser (Windows, Mac, Chromebook) and on Android. iPhone and iPad are not supported yet.

What it does for you

• Today screen: every unit has a box for each check time (for example Opening and Closing). Tap, type the reading and initials, save
• Instant pass, check or fail against the limit for each unit: green, amber (above your target) or red (outside the limit)
• A failed reading cannot be saved until you record what was done, with quick-tap actions such as "Rechecked after 30 min"
• Food probe checks: cooking, reheating, hot holding, cooling (with minutes taken) and chilled or frozen deliveries
• 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
• NEW in v5: 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
• NEW in v5: Full keyboard use, screen-reader labels, a skip link and high-contrast colours (tested against WCAG 2.2 AA with axe)
• NEW in v5: Date format setting (DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD)
• Monthly report: a day-by-day grid of every reading, missed checks highlighted, problems and actions, and a manager sign-off line. Print it or save as PDF
• Equipment log and food check history with filters, edit or delete any record, and CSV export for Excel or Google Sheets
• JSON backup and restore, and demo data to practise with

How it works (3 steps)

1. Open the app and try the demo kitchen, then press Use my data. In Setup enter your business, check times and staff initials, and add each fridge, freezer and hot-holding unit (about 5 minutes)
2. At each check time, tap the unit, type the temperature and your initials, and save (a few seconds per unit). Log food probe checks as you cook, cool or take deliveries
3. Look at the Dashboard each week, and print the Monthly report for your records or when the EHO visits

• Also runs in current Edge and Firefox, and Safari on Mac
• Not iPhone or iPad yet: Safari on iOS cannot keep the app data from a downloaded file reliably, so we do not support it

Good to know

• Your records are saved in the browser on the device you use. Download a backup (JSON) regularly and use it to move to another device
• Default limits follow GOV.UK 'Food hygiene for your business' guidance (chilled food 8°C or below, hot food 63°C or above). Use the limits in your own food safety management system
• One business licence: use it on as many devices in your business as you like
• FAQ: 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.
• FAQ: 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.
• FAQ: Does it connect to probes or sensors? No. You type the reading in.
