In order to get a 5* rating, you must score no more than 5 in each of the areas-so consistency across all areas of your food hygiene and management is key. The most common area where food service businesses fail is due to their food safety management system, e.g. a lack of, or no, documentation to evidence that a food safety management system is in place. So, while the premises may not be dirty and the food may be handled perfectly hygienically, there is no evidence or documentation to show that food safety is being taken seriously. Think about it like this; if there’s no proof that you’re always doing everything correctly, then how can the inspector have the confidence that the standards they observe at your site on the day of the visit is really what it’s like on a day to day basis. So although yes the paperwork can be a bit of a pain, it’s really important to keep your customers safe. But fear not… Navitas has a solution to make managing food safety so much easier.
Navitas Digital Food Safety ensures that you always have your food safety records in check. Implementing a digital food safety management system gives you total visibility of your food safety, for total safety confidence. All of your paperwork, checklists, HACCP plans, SOPs and more are stored digitally in a single central database, allowing for quick and easy access at any time, from anywhere. Your staff can complete their daily cleaning checks with the touch of a screen, saving them time and eliminating paperwork entirely.
We also provide our digital temperature probe and automated appliance monitoring system which makes taking food temperatures super fast and you’ll never have to take a fridge and freezer temperature ever again. Think of all that extra time you’ll have!
You could save in excess of 21 hours a month by going digital, allowing you to redistribute this cost and labour in much better ways.
