The food industry is full of iconic couples: peanut butter and jelly, hamburgers and fries, cookies and milk — just to name a few. But a new food pairing has arrived, and this match made in heaven will go down in food safety history — Bluetooth thermometers and auditing apps. Conducting line checks with thermocouple tech solves several problems in the context of food safety and audit apps. Here are four reasons to add this pairing to your internet of things at your restaurant, convenience store, or grocery store.

1. Accurate Data Gathering

You’ll add extra food safety security when you conduct line checks with Bluetooth thermometers paired with the right audit software. Temperatures automatically upload into the audit form, which means you’ll eliminate auditor errors and make results tamper resistant. It’s a reliable system that mitigates food-safety risks and helps each location stay compliant.

2. Time-saving Tech

All line checks — from self-audits to yearly audits — will be a little faster when you add Bluetooth thermometers and audit app pairing to your internet of things as the need to manually write down or enter times into a form or spreadsheet disappears. This means there’s less downtime between readings, so line checks are finished faster. Location managers will save time, so they can do more in their stores and focus on the issues that need their attention most.

3. Real-time Reporting

Since everything syncs automatically with integrated auditing apps, managers will receive real-time reports. This includes immediate alerts for items that fail to meet regulations, so any temperature-related noncompliance issue can be corrected immediately. It’s a proactive way to stop food safety issues before they start, and you’ll ultimately reduce risk and better protect your customers.

4. Long-term Recordkeeping

If your compliance management software offers analytics and makes your data searchable, you’ll be able to effortlessly compile and pull line check reports for each location. You can also refer back to past line checks to see the compliance history or if temperatures have been manually changed. This will help managers better determine training needs and other corrective actions.
