Your kitchen stays safe when you’re not there.

Food-safety logs, daily checks and a safety quiz for restaurant kitchens, in one app. Cooks record temperatures on their phones, and you get the food-safety logs as a printable record. Each person is handed a few safety checks and quiz questions a day, with points for doing them. The team sends complaints, praise and ideas to one place, and you see what got done from anywhere. Built inside Sip of Saigon, a working restaurant in Reno, Nevada.

A dated record of every reading: the log, the number, the limit it was checked against, who took it and when, what was done about a failure, and who signed it off. A check nobody recorded shows as missed. A wrong entry is crossed out with who, when and why — never erased. Print the record or export it from a web browser. The library’s limits start from the FDA Food Code; your health department may set its own. Kitchen on Hand keeps the records; what your health department requires is theirs to say.

Open the app, do the few checks and questions on their Today list, record the readings that are due, and send in anything you should know about. A few minutes a shift, saved under their own name.

No. It runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. There are free Kitchen on Hand apps on Google Play and Apple’s App Store. Nothing for you to manage.

About ten minutes. Pick your logs from the library and put them on the calendar, tap once to start with our suggested checks and Safety IQ questions, and invite your team. Change any of it later.

Yes. Call (775) 305-7624: it rings both founders, and whoever can pick up does. If we can’t, leave your name, restaurant and number and we’ll call you back, or email support@kitchenonhand.com.

If you haven’t added a card, nothing is charged: your restaurant becomes read-only until you subscribe, and food-safety readings keep working for 7 days so the log doesn’t stop mid-shift. Nothing is deleted for not paying. If you added a card, the plan you picked starts when the trial ends and renews until you cancel.

Yes. For each log you pick who hears about it: a notification when a reading fails, and when a scheduled check is 30 minutes late. Managers get one when the team sends in a complaint or a problem. Reports add it all up.

Only what their role allows. A cook does their checks and readings without seeing reports or anyone else’s history. You decide, per role, who builds the checks, who reviews feedback and who sees reports.

Yes. Set up a tablet in the kitchen and each person taps their own PIN, so their checks and readings are saved under their name. It locks itself after two minutes, or when they tap Done. A PIN sign-in can’t change the team, settings or billing.

Yes, once the screen is open. Open a food-safety reading before you head in: it saves on the phone and sends when you’re back in signal. Loading a page needs a connection.

Yes. Each restaurant has its own logs, checks and team, and a new restaurant can start from a copy of an existing one’s logs, roles and calendar tasks. Pricing drops per restaurant as you add them.

No. Each restaurant’s records are kept apart in the database itself, so one account can’t read another’s logs, checks, team or feedback. Your team sees only the restaurants they’ve been added to.

They’re in the app — counts, orders to your vendors, receiving, a waste log and recipe costs — and switched off for new kitchens to keep things simple. Ask us and we turn them on, at no extra cost.

You keep access until the end of the month or year you’ve paid for, and your data stays yours — print or export your food-safety record, and export your lists from Settings on the website at any time. We don’t delete a restaurant for non-payment; it goes read-only until you subscribe again (food-safety readings keep working for the first 7 days). A restaurant nobody has signed into for 18 months, with no plan, may be removed after 60 days’ emailed notice.
