The kitchen file, without the file

Everything the Environmental Health Practitioner opens the file for: fridge, freezer, bain-marie and hot-hold temperature logs with limits and escalation, cleaning schedules signed as they happen, pest control records and sighting registers, food handler medical and training records, delivery receiving checks with supplier details, and cooking and cooling logs for high-risk items.

  • The R638 requirement set and Certificate of Acceptability evidence pre-loaded
  • Multi-site groups see every kitchen on one dashboard
  • Head office knows about the missed fridge check the same morning

From CoA to HACCP certification

Hotels and industrial caterers whose clients demand certified HACCP step up from the R638 plan to HACCP to SANS 10330 without changing systems. The temperature logs already captured become the monitoring evidence.

Paper in a kitchen is grease and water damage

Clipboard sheets fade, tear and vanish before the inspector arrives. A tablet at the pass and one in the scullery replace them. Compare the printing cost of daily kitchen sheets across a year against R499 per month.

QUESTIONS FROM CATERING & HOSPITALITY

Asked before every demo

What does Regulation R638 require a kitchen to keep?

R638 (Regulations Governing General Hygiene Requirements for Food Premises, 2018) requires documented hygiene management: temperature control evidence, cleaning schedules, pest control, food handler health and training records, and the conditions of your Certificate of Acceptability. ASCloud pre-loads this as a requirement set so nothing is forgotten.

We run 14 sites. Can head office see them all?

Yes. Each site subscribes per site and head office sees every kitchen on one dashboard: completion status, missed checks and open corrective actions, live. Group pricing is quoted in writing.

Do we need special hardware?

No. Any current Android or iOS phone or tablet works. Most kitchens run one shared tablet; each staff member still signs in as themselves so every record is attributable.
