Three things that make Chek different.

Built by restaurant operators who got tired of clipboard binders, $50k inspection fines, and SaaS apps designed for office workers.

Zero-login for employees

Stick a QR on the wall. Line cooks scan and log in 4 taps. No app to install, no password to forget. Most platforms still require employees to install and log into their own app.

FDA Food Code-aware

Receiving thresholds change automatically based on food category (poultry, dairy, produce, shellfish) per §3-202.11. Static thresholds are what gets restaurants written up.

Real-time across devices

Manager sees logs the second they're written. Multi-station kitchen? Every screen stays in sync. No 10-minute polling lag like the older platforms.

How it works.

1

Stick a QR on the wall

One per check station. Hot line, walk-in, dishpit, restroom. Print, laminate, done.

2

Staff scans and logs

Their phone opens the form. They enter their name, pick the check, tap the temp. Less than 10 seconds.

3

You see it in real time

Every log lands on your dashboard instantly. Out-of-range temp? Manager gets a text. Inspector shows up? Hand them the iPad.

Everything you need to pass an inspection.

Pre-built templates for every FDA Food Code requirement. Customizable when you need it.

Temperature logs

Hot holding, cold holding, freezer, cooling logs, thermometer calibration. BLE thermometer auto-fill optional.

Cleaning & sanitation

Sanitizer concentration tests, food contact surfaces, restroom rotation logs.

Receiving check

Dynamic temperature thresholds per FDA food category. Supplier and accept/reject tracking.

Employee health screens

Pre-shift symptom checklist. Fit-for-duty decisions tracked for inspector review.

Pest sightings

Immediate-report flow with location and action taken. Builds your pest-control documentation automatically.

Inspector mode

One read-only URL. Hand the inspector your iPad. Date picker, clean tables, print-friendly.

Multi-location

One dashboard, all your kitchens. Per-location alerts, per-location reports.

Overdue alerts

Missed your every-2-hour hot holding check? Manager gets a text before the inspector notices.

Built on the FDA Food Code

Compliance isn't theater. It's code citations.

Every default template is anchored to a specific section of the FDA Food Code. When the code revises, we revise. Your templates update automatically.

§3-202.11

Receiving thresholds

Temperature limits vary by food category (poultry, dairy, shellfish, cut produce). Built in.

§3-501.16

Hot & cold holding

Hot ≥ 135 °F. Cold ≤ 41 °F. Every check evaluated against the rule, every time.

§4-301.12

Sanitization

Quat ≥ 150 ppm. Chlorine 50–100 ppm. Flagged automatically if your reading drifts.

§2-201.11

Employee health

Big 6 symptom checklist. Fit-for-duty decisions tracked for inspector review.

Questions chefs ask.

Do my employees need to install an app?
No. They scan a QR code with their phone camera, which opens a mobile-web form. No app store, no login, no install. Works on iPhone and Android.
Will this satisfy my health inspector?
Yes. Inspector mode is a one-URL read-only view designed for handoff. Date picker, full audit trail, signature-line ready. Pre-built templates follow FDA Food Code §3-202 (receiving), §3-501 (hot/cold holding), §4-301 (sanitation), and §2-201 (employee health).
What if my checks need a real thermometer?
Manual entry works on every device. We also support Combustion Inc. and InkBird BLE thermometers — temp auto-fills when you take a reading. Bring your own; we don't lock you into proprietary hardware.
Can I run multiple locations?
Yes from day one. Each location gets its own QR set and its own log stream. One dashboard shows them all, filtered by location or rolled up.
How does this compare to FoodDocs / Jolt / FreshCheq?
Way cheaper than FoodDocs ($84–$250/mo, billed in tiers) and Jolt (enterprise quote). Flat $20/mo with everything included — no per-user fees, no upgrade ladder. The biggest UX difference: our QR flow is zero-login for line cooks. Every competitor requires staff to install and log into an app, which is why their adoption stalls.
What about HIPAA / SOC 2 / data residency?
Hosted on Vercel + Supabase, both SOC 2 Type II. US-based data residency available. Multi-tenant with full RLS isolation. Talk to us for Enterprise compliance needs.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly plans cancel anytime in one click. Annual plans get a prorated refund. Your data exports as CSV or PDF on the way out — we don't hold it hostage.
Are you really a new product?
Yes. Chek is built and run by the team at Urban Acre Craft Salads (Salt Lake City). Our chef-owner, Matt McCallister (4× James Beard Finalist), uses it every day in his own kitchen. We'd rather be honest about that than fake five logos to look bigger. The 30-day free trial is our risk-trade: try it, and if we don't earn $20/month, you don't pay it.

Try Chek free for 30 days.

No credit card. Set up your first location in 10 minutes. If we're not the right fit, walk away with your data.
