Balancing paperwork, managing tasks and dealing with clunky software can make it hard to know what’s been done in your business. All these tasks can add unnecessary stress and plenty of wasted hours to your workload. That’s why using our Alerts solution is a better way to manage food safety and run your kitchen operations.

What is our Alerts solution?

Our Alerts feature is a technical solution that helps you keep on top of your kitchen equipment and ensure your operations are run effectively.

The system uses AI powered data to monitor the temperatures in your kitchen. Your team can access real-time and predictive data which will analyze the efficiencies of your hot and cold storage.

Our Alerts solution will not only save you time, but also reduce food waste and help you run your business more efficiently.

Why do I need it?

As you know, temperature logs are crucial for managing your kitchen operations.

They can help to identify any problems with the food you are storing, so you can take corrective action (repair equipment, get rid of unsafe food, adjust temperatures etc.) before it becomes an issue.

It is recommended that you check and record fridge and freezer temperatures (and any hot temperatures such as a buffet area) at least once per day. This can take a considerable amount of time and effort depending on how much hot and cold storage you have.

How does Alerts work?

Our Alerts solution is designed to help you manage your kitchen operations in one simple dashboard.

It uses sensors and an AI powered system to record up to 1500 temperatures per day and alerts you if something is off.

You can access our Alerts functionality by syncing up your sensor data and uploading a floorplan of your kitchen. This will allow you to set up temperature monitoring, providing readings and alerts for all your hot and cold storage equipment.

How do I purchase and install Alerts?

Our Alert system starts at $650 per month and is available to purchase online.

When your Phenium package arrives, you need to install the sensors around your kitchen space and switch on the main central hub. Our team will ensure all the devices and alerts functionality is pre-configured and ready to go.

When your Phenium package arrives, you need to simply follow our plug and play instructions; download our app, take out the base-station and plug it into power and ethernet, open the mobile app and follow the instructions when you place the pre-paired sensors in each piece of refrigeration equipment. And ta-daa, you are up and running. Depending on kitchen size, this should not take more than 15–30 minutes before peace of mind is experienced. Our team will ensure all the devices and alerts functionality is pre-configured and ready to go.

Additionally, you can upload a floorplan of your kitchen with details of each area that is being monitored.

You can then Set up a Quest for a task that needs to be completed. From a cleaning checklist to food storage issues, you complete pretty much all your kitchen management needs.

With Phenium, food safety is a piece of cake.
