What does the kitchen's temperature logging system record?

The kitchen's temperature logging system is specifically designed to monitor and record the temperature of various food items during preparation, storage, and serving. This is crucial for food safety, as maintaining appropriate temperatures helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. By consistently recording temperatures, staff can ensure that food is held at safe levels, both hot and cold, which is essential for preventing foodborne illnesses.

The temperature logging system does not concern itself with the types of food prepared, when food is served, or the quantity of servings made. These factors may be important for other operational reasons, but they do not fall under the purpose of temperature logging, which focuses solely on monitoring temperature for safety compliance.
