  3. 03Released

    Release with evidence

    Keep any recheck or corrective action beside the original reading before the batch moves on.

See every temperature in context

Keep the product, stage, time, reading and responsible person connected throughout preparation.

Questions from operators

Food temperature record questions

How Forkto keeps the complete food journey reviewable instead of storing isolated readings.

What happens when a food temperature fails its limit?

The original reading remains in the batch history. Staff record the corrective action and a follow-up result, so a later pass never erases the exception.

Which preparation stages can stay in one record?

Cooking, cooling, cold storage, reheating and service readings can stay attached to the same prepared batch with their times and responsible staff.

Can I see who recorded and released the batch?

Yes. The batch record keeps the product, stage, time, reading and named person together through release.

Replace scattered temperature sheets

Give every prepared batch a complete digital temperature history.
