Who This Template Is For
Kitchen managers, quality supervisors, food safety officers, and compliance teams in restaurants, hotels, QSRs, catering businesses, and food manufacturing facilities.
Why This Matters
Paper temperature logs go missing before audits. Out-of-range readings go unnoticed for hours — resulting in stock losses and food safety risks. Head office has no way to verify that checks are actually being completed across locations.
What Changes When You Go Digital
With Storecall, temperature checks are scheduled with automatic reminders. Out-of-range readings trigger instant email alerts to the kitchen manager and area supervisor. Every entry is timestamped with photo evidence. Head office sees a live HACCP compliance dashboard across all outlets — no phone calls, no WhatsApp follow-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a HACCP temperature log include?
A compliant HACCP temperature log should record the asset or unit being checked (fridge, freezer, hot-holding), the date and time of each reading, the recorded temperature, the acceptable range, the name of the person taking the reading, and any corrective action taken for out-of-range readings. This template includes all of these fields in a print-ready layout.
How often should food temperatures be recorded for HACCP compliance?
Most food safety authorities require temperature checks at least twice per day — once at opening and once during service. High-risk operations may need hourly checks. Storecall can schedule checks at any interval and escalate automatically if they're missed.
What happens if a temperature reading is out of range?
On paper, nothing — unless someone notices and takes action. With Storecall, out-of-range readings trigger instant alerts to the kitchen manager and area supervisor via email. The system can also generate a corrective action task automatically, ensuring the issue is addressed and documented.
