Frequently asked questions
What is typically on an opening checklist for a restaurant?
A complete opening checklist for hospitality includes: temperature check of fridges and freezers, mise en place check, cleaning check from the previous day, stock and use-by date check, opening the register, and safety checks (gas leaks, fire safety). With HACCPcheck you set this up once and it is automatically ready every morning.
How does a digital opening checklist help with a food safety inspection?
Food safety authorities check whether you can prove that daily checks take place structurally. A digital opening checklist with timestamp and name of the person who completed it is immediately verifiable. You export the complete dossier with one click as an inspection-proof report.
Can I customize the opening checklist for my own business?
Yes, completely. You decide which tasks belong to the opening, in which order and who is responsible. New staff members automatically see what needs to happen every morning, without having to be explained.
What if an opening task has not been signed off?
As a manager you receive a push notification when a task is overdue. Via the dashboard you can immediately see which opening has not been fully completed. This way you intervene before the business opens without everything being in order.
Is the opening checklist part of the HACCP records?
Yes. Opening tasks such as temperature checks, goods reception and mise en place are part of your HACCP dossier. Everything is combined in one export for food safety inspections. You don't need separate systems.
