Food Temperature Records

Food Temperature Records tracks temperatures for individual food items as they move through cooking, cooling, reheating, and serving. Each item builds a chain of logs so you have a complete audit trail. Find it in the sidebar under Records → Food Temps.

Quick-start tiles

At the top of the page, five tiles let you jump straight into logging for a specific stage:

Tile	What it records
Cook	Temperature after cooking
Cooling	Start of a cooling phase
Reheat	Temperature after reheating
Hothold	Temperature during hot-holding
Cold Serve	Temperature for cold service

Each tile shows how many entries have been logged today, against a target if your location has one set.

Logging a temperature

1. Tap a tile or select Action in the form.
2. Type or select the food item name. If an item with the same name is already in progress, the form switches to Continuing chain mode and adds the new reading to the existing record.
3. Enter the temperature.
4. Add any Notes/Corrective Action if needed.
5. Optionally tick Mark complete after logging to close the chain in a single step.
6. Tap the submit button (for example, Create Chicken Breast or Add Cook to Chicken Breast).

Cooling phase rules

A cooling chain must follow a specific order: Start Cooling must come before End Cooling. Once a cooling phase is complete it cannot be restarted. The form guides you through this automatically and suggests the correct next action if you pick an invalid one.

In-progress and completed items

Active food records appear as cards on the main page. Each card shows the food item name, who created it, and a timeline of all temperature readings logged so far.

Once all required stages are done, tap Finish / Serve on the card to mark the item complete. Completed items move to the Completed Items section, which can be shown or collapsed.

Tap any log entry on the card to edit the temperature, time, or notes, or to delete the entry.

Food record logs table

Below the cards, a Food record logs table lists every entry with the action, food item, temperature, date, time, and who logged it. Use the date filter (Last 7 days, Last 14 days, Last 30 days, Last 90 days) to adjust the range, or search by item name using the search bar.

Searching and filtering

• Use the search bar to filter items by name.
• Use the date range selector to control how far back records are shown.
• Archived items are hidden by default; show them via Show archived in the ⋯ menu.
