Why chains run this check
Food safety failures are rarely one big mistake. They are small slips at one store: a sanitiser mixed too weak, raw food on the wrong shelf, a sick team member working anyway.
A short daily check covers the slips that matter most, and its readings and answers become the record you show an inspector.
How it runs at every store
One standard. Send this checklist to every store, on a schedule, to whoever is on shift.
Evidence back. Photos, readings and answers come back from the phone, timestamped and named.
Problems become fixes. Anything that fails opens a fix for that store, due in hours, not at the next visit.
Best against worst. The scorecard ranks your stores on it and shows which check the worst store misses.
Run it at one store tomorrow morning
Free for one store, with unlimited users and no card. The checklist arrives ready to run, exactly as it is on this page, and you can change any check.
Yes. Print it, save it as a PDF, or tick it off on this page. To run it at every store, with photos, readings that open a fix when they are out of range, and a scorecard that ranks your stores, use it in RakuOps. The free plan covers one store, with unlimited users.
What should a daily food safety check include?
Staff fitness and hand washing, storage and dates, hot and cold holding temperatures, cleaning and sanitising, pests and allergen information. This template covers all six in 14 checks.
Is this a HACCP plan?
No. It is the daily check that sits under one. Your HACCP plan sets the hazards and limits; this records that the controls were in place each day.
