How QR code food safety logging works.
- 1
Print a QR for every check station
Hot line. Walk-in. Dishpit. Restroom. Each location gets its own QR code, generated by Chek with a unique URL. Stick it on the wall, laminate it, done. Setup takes 10 minutes for a typical restaurant.
- 2
Staff scans with their phone camera
No app store. No download. No login screen. iPhone and Android scan QR codes natively in the camera app — the screen opens directly to the Chek log form. Works on every smartphone made in the last 8 years.
- 3
Tap the reading and submit
The form is mobile-optimized for big buttons and a numeric keypad — designed for hands that just came off the line. The employee enters their name (one tap if it's already in the recent list), picks the check, enters the temp. Average time: 9 seconds.

Manager sees it in real time
Every log lands on the manager's dashboard the instant it's submitted. Out-of-range temp? An SMS or email goes out immediately. End of day? PDF report is one click. Inspector shows up? Hand them the iPad.
Why QR beats “just download our app.”
Restaurants have 75% annual employee turnover. Every friction point between a line cook and a completed log is an adoption-killer. We measured the difference.
The “install our app” flow
- 1. Open App Store / Play Store
- 2. Search for the app
- 3. Wait for download (slow kitchen wifi)
- 4. Open the app
- 5. Create an account / get invited
- 6. Verify email
- 7. Set a password they'll forget
- 8. Find the check
- 9. Submit the reading
Result: cooks ignore the app and write on paper anyway.
The Chek QR flow
- 1. Open phone camera
- 2. Scan QR on the wall
- 3. Tap the check + enter reading
- 4. Submit
9 seconds. No friction. No abandonment.
Every check, one QR away.
Stick a QR at every station. Each one opens the right check directly — no menu, no navigation.
And the inspector?
Every QR-scanned log is timestamped, attributed (the cook entered their name), and backed by the FDA Food Code section it's checking against — §3-202.11 for receiving, §3-501.16 for hot/cold holding, §4-301.12 for sanitization, §2-201 for employee health.
When the inspector arrives, you don't flip through binders. You open Chek's inspector mode— a read-only URL with a date picker, full audit trail, and a print-friendly view — and hand them the iPad. That's the entire handoff.
