Do a check on the phone

A check is something your restaurant has asked to be recorded: an opening checklist, fridge temperatures, a delivery. Yes Chef keeps the record you make. What has to be checked, and keeping those records, stays your restaurant’s responsibility.

Find the check

• If you have a Checks tab, open Checks. If it is not on the bar, it is the Checks row under Me. The list is the day’s checks, in the parts of the day they belong to.
• If you do not, open Today while you are on shift. The checks for your shift are under Shift checks. They are also on the shift’s own screen.

Each row says where the check stands: Due now, when it opens, how long it is open until, or how late it is.

Do the check

1. Tap the check. Its screen has the check’s name, any instructions, when it is due or open until, and under Record everything it asks for.

   

2. Fill in each part. What you see depends on the check:

   • A list to tick. Tick each item as you do it. For one that was not done, press its flag and say why.
   • Pass or fail. Press Pass or Fail (some say Yes and No). A fail may ask for a note.
   • A reading. Type the number, or use the plus and minus key. A reading outside the check’s limits is marked Out of range.
   • A table. Press Add row for each thing you record.
   • A photo. Press Take photo.
3. Add anything worth saying under Notes · optional, such as what you did about a warm fridge.
4. Press Mark complete. It says Check done and takes you back to the list, where the row now has the time and your first name.

When something is wrong

Record what you found, not what it should have been. An out-of-range reading or a failed item can still be completed, unless the check has been set up to need an action first: then it shows Action needed, and you press Raise action to say what needs doing, by when and by whom. That creates a task linked to the check.

Without a signal

You can do a check offline if it was already on your phone. When you mark it complete it says Saved on this phone, and the row shows Waiting to send. It is sent by itself when the connection is back or the app is next opened.

After it is done

If you typed something wrong, open the check and press Edit. You can edit a check you completed; people with the “Run the day’s checks” permission can edit anyone’s. The time it was completed does not change, and the change is kept in the check’s edit history.
