Foodservice
In a busy restaurant kitchen with customers waiting and pressure of service it is hard to down tools and pick up pen and paper. It is challenging to manage many safety and hygiene tasks across a small facility. You need to log temperatures and complete jobs and checks. You must cover all processes from deliveries through food preparation, cooking, chilling and reheating to service. You often have only a small team.
Team Management
Monika’s smart mobile application ensures that tasks and temperature checks are done quickly while you work. It makes it easy just to log data you need and move on. Routine tasks can be scheduled for quieter periods. Reminders ensure nothing is missed. Allergens can be easily identified for dishes and ingredients.
Equipment Management
Gives you continuous temperature monitoring of your cold storage and hot holding equipment as you work. False alerts are fully mitigated, with only real threats to your stock disrupting your work routine.
Effortless Compliance
Save time and paper and eliminates cumbersome filing. Gone will be the days when you are tempted to remember what you did and write it up afterwards. Gone will be the worry of missing something important. With Monika, safe food and assured compliance is just part of the process.
Food Production
We meet the challenges your teams face with multiple processes and batch control for different food products in each location across your site. These will include deliveries, cooking, chilling, freezing, defrosting, reheating and packing for delivery. It is vital to demonstrate that every batch leaves the premises safe and fit for consumption. Relying on error-prone pen and paper forms for routine tasks can result in an inadequate audit trail with entries being missed or overlooked and staff tempted to write them up afterwards.
Team Management
Monika’s smart mobile application ensures that tasks and temperature checks are done quickly whenever and wherever safety demands. It enables you to link your process steps for each batch in sequence and allows for a change to a process should a safety issue occur at any stage. Audible and notification reminders ensure nothing is missed.
Equipment Management
Gives you continuous temperature monitoring of your cold storage and hot holding equipment, with instant alerts that can be escalated within the team on or off site 24/7/365. Its plant management features allow potential breakdowns to be predicted, and alerts to be raised to ensure timely maintenance mitigates loss of food, disruption to customer deliveries and expensive repairs.
Food Retail
In the small convenience store or large supermarket some cases and cabinets are open fronted, and quite often situated outside the building. Doors can be left open, cabinets or cases overloaded, and air supply over a run of units can be inconsistent. Correctly specified and performed manual temperature checking is extremely challenging to ensure it is correctly conducted at typical warmer spots, and where high-risk foods such as fresh fish and poultry are displayed. It becomes very time consuming and subject to dangerous error or neglect.
Team Management
Many supermarkets serve hot food cooked on the premises in ovens and rotisseries. The Monika Team Management application can be used to manage the safety of batches from cooking through to display and sale or disposal, accounting for safe times left on open display. It can also be used for scheduling and conducting routine hygiene and safety jobs and checks (for example floor checks for spillages).
Equipment Management
Monika’s equipment management application gives you continuous temperature monitoring, using sensors placed at critical points in all types of display cabinets. It can also be applied to bulk storage chiller and cold rooms. It offers instant alerts that can be escalated within the team on or off site 24/7/365. Its plant management features allow potential breakdowns to be predicted, ensuring food is not lost and the business damaged by runs of empty malfunctioning cabinets.
Enterprise Management
Multisite retail businesses benefit particularly from the Enterprise Management dashboard which offers ‘traffic light’ focus on KPI’s to spot the most serious equipment maintenance and staff training needs, right now and over time.
