Department of Health Inspections Annually Food Service Operations Daily Health Department inspections are a pinpoint in time of the situation. You can get a passing score today and have multiple cases of foodborne illness in your operation tomorrow. The key to maintaining a solid food safety operation is repeatability and continuity. Many health departments offer a self-assessment so that food service operations can conduct daily, weekly, monthly inspections. Sentry9000 has adapted one of these self-assessments to its Android app/Web Browser application for documenting the routine results of the self-assessment. There are measureable points designated for temperatures and visual observations for sanitation and other standards. If the measurement is outside the standards set, then an action is needed to correct the situation. This provides daily, weekly and monthly continuity and repeatability. The documentation is a justification step to show that the measurement was taken and the results verified compliance or if a needed action for compliance was required. This allows a supervisor/manager to monitor the due diligence of the employees in conducting the details of the program. Food safety is a responsibility of all starting at the top down. The S9k Self-Assessment System provides a digital format with time, date and digital signatures for each data point entered. A secure web site is provided for reviewing data and reports. An off-site database is used to apply functional software and store data for 5 years. This provides a robust, digital approach to monitoring the food safety program without stacks of papers to leaf through daily. The Android app can be used on any Android tablet or smartphone. We recommend a 7” Android tablet for ease of use. I have the app on my Samsung S IV smartphone. It can also be used on any web browser on an iPad, laptop, desktop, tablet and POS system. A WiFi on-site makes data Real-Time, or sync when WiFi is available off-site. Also check out the WiFi temperature monitors for coolers and freezers with alarms and alerts via web site, email and cell phone. Visit our PowerPoint presentation at http://sentry9000.com/S9kSSApp . There is also a PowerPoint presentation that goes into detail about the web site. Sincerely yours,
