This product has been great
Pros
It has simplified food safety for my staff and they are more willing to take time to complete the logs,
Cons
Would like to see a one touch button for when you are closed for holidays, weather or any other reason we are closed to shut off the log text warnings.
Response from FreshCheq

Saves time and paper
Pros
This is a very effective way to report temps and inspect the restaurant throughout the day. It is efficient in comparison to pen and paper. Saves printing copies daily which saves ink and paper.
Cons
Corrections should be allowed at the end of the questionnaire. It would be nice if there was a list of fails at the end instead for having to do them individually as many products may have been in the same conditions.

By doing Freshcheq you are checking equipment and food to make sure the temperature is correct.
That are stores are checking tempertures daily. Knowing if we have issues in a store with tempertures.
Pros
Get email that the stores have done the tempertures. Know that a piece of equipment is not up to temperture. Managment is checking the equipment to make sure it is working correct. They have to re check if they put a ewrong number in.
Cons
Getting the stores to do the tempertures daily. They don't understand it important to do. Getting the stores to do it daily.

Generally very easy to use. Lags on occasion but not a huge deal.
Allows us more flexibility when completing line checks. Can get them done faster with more than one person as well.
Pros
The site is accessible on any phone, tablet, or pc and multiple people can work on the same check or different checks for the same period at once.
Cons
The site occasionally lags which can cause issues when on a touch screen phone like a temperature not being correct when you hit enter. Generally fixable by redoing last measure but can be annoying,

Good tool
Pros
It is very user friendly to teach and use. Very friendly app that you can just use on your phone or a tablet to walk through the kitchen and check while doing it
Cons
Wish you could use the number pad vs touching the number because a bit sensitive . At times it is a bit lagging

From jump fresh cheq has been super simple. Easy to navigate without any training.
The only problem I've ever run into was on a holiday that we were closed I didn't think of shutting it off for the day but luckily I was in the store to fix it.
Pros
It's super simple and easy for all managers to use. The best thing is that it sends texts to all the managers when temps are not taken.

Great idea
FreshCheq has grown and become more user friendly. I think there are still some design pieces that need to be implemented however they are responsive to change and I can see them ironing out those kinks.
Pros
It’s nice to have the ability to have shift tools in the palm of your hands especially as all aspects of a store seem to be turning that way.
Cons
The reporting system is slow and clunky. It is difficult to utilize the program to fix issues that you see as the only way to “pass” a selection is to say how you fixed it.
Response from FreshCheq

Great application and works great

I like that there is no paperwork to keep track of and I can have access to my records at anytime. Everything is stored in one spot and no going back through paperwork.

Easy to use, keeps managers on task when it comes to record keeping
Pros
the fresh cheq app takes away the guessing game/remembering game for my managers. the automatic text at dedicated times works amazing!
Cons
we have had a glitch when daylight savings time took place...pretty minimal honestly. I would assume that more features are coming and that will be nice when that happens!
Response from FreshCheq
We are so glad that you love FreshCheq and appreciate your review! We are happy to report that we have corrected the Daylight Savings glitch. We are planning to roll out a food waste log, food safety audit portal, and other cool checklists in 2018! Thank you for your business, Brandon!

easy to use
No paper clutter and very easy to use.
Pros
I think the software is very easy to use for the most part. It is a great and easy way to keep track of things without the clutter of papers.
Cons
It's hard to fix mistakes when you type in the wrong temps like I seem to do with my fat fingers on my phone.
Response from FreshCheq
Thank you for your review, Sharon. There is an option to re-enter the previous temp if you make a mistake. We are happy to offer some re-training if you feel that you and your staff could benefit from it.

I honestly had a hard time using this, I'm not to savvy with all the technology
Cons
As I said I'm not too savvy with much technology, I like writing things out. I had to get help to use this.

Good concept to centralize manager tools, but takes too long to wait between items.
I like the features of centralized checklists.

All centralized anf able to completes tasks in one location as apposed to paper and several clipboards
Cons
Takes too long to go through and correct issues. Not able to pass information to others quickly. Device lag

Freshcheq review
Overall it is a decent system and easy to use which means it makes it easy to train new team members on how to use the system
Pros
It is easy to use, and saves money on paper and toner.
Cons
Server tends to run slow at peak hours, would also be nice if we were able to set up reoccurring alerts to remind us to do start Freshcheq not just when we miss doing Freshcheq.
Response from FreshCheq
Thanks for your review.
FreshCheq currently has the capability to remind when logs are upcoming. Contact me and I am happy to show you how to set it up
