“Since switching to Safe Food Pro, we have saved on time and labour costs. We found that paper forms reduced the performance of the staff, as they dropped behind in their daily duties as they were too busy filling in numerous forms. Decrease in council fees as less time needed for the food verification.”
Since its establishment in 1991, Valentines North Shore has been dedicated to delivering a wide variety of high-quality Buffet foods. But behind the scenes, maintaining strict temperature controls to ensure food safety was a constant battle against time and error. With about 20 staff members, coordinating and keeping accurate logs was becoming increasingly complex. The manual process not only left room for error but also diverted staff attention from customer service.The switch to Safe Food Pro meant that temperature monitoring became automated and error-proof, providing staff with a reliable, digitised tool that ensured food safety became a seamlessly integrated part of their daily tasks.
“We now have a decrease in council fees as less time is spent sorting out our food verification.”
The daily rituals of opening and closing are critical for ensuring that Valentines operates like a well-oiled machine. Previously, relying on manual checklists led to inconsistencies, with tasks occasionally being overlooked in the rush of restaurant operations. Implementing Safe Food Pro's digital checklists changed all that. Now, staff have clear, interactive prompts for every task that needs to be done, ensuring nothing is missed and that the establishment is always ready for service. This has not only improved operational efficiency but also maintained the restaurant's high standards for cleanliness and preparation.
In the restaurant industry, ensuring the well-being of staff is paramount, as it directly impacts the quality and safety of the food served. At Valentines, keeping an accurate log of staff health was essential but cumbersome, due to paper forms that were time-consuming to fill out and track. By adopting Safe Food Pro, the restaurant has centralised the process, making it quick and easy for management to stay updated on staff health, respond to incidents, and ensure a safe dining experience for customers. This level of efficient health monitoring has become a cornerstone of Valentines' commitment to excellence in food safety.
“The Food Control Plan is now much easier to understand and much less complicated for the staff to complete. Safe Food Pro gives us confidence, knowing our restaurant is clean and is serving "safe food" to the public.”
Through the implementation of Safe Food Pro, Valentines Buffet Restaurant has not only met the challenges of food safety and hygiene but has raised the bar for industry standards. The app's streamlined logging, automated checklists, and efficient health monitoring have transformed the restaurant’s daily operations — ultimately creating an enjoyable dining experience for every guest.
