24/7 Temperature Monitoring
Protect your stock around the clock. WiFi sensors log temperatures every 5 minutes to the cloud — and alert your team if there's a sustained breach.
Why Automated Temperature Monitoring?
Manual checks have limitations. Automated monitoring fills the gaps.
Overnight Issues
Freezer failures at 3am go unnoticed until morning — when it's too late.
Busy Service
During rush periods, manual temperature checks get missed or rushed.
Weekends & Holidays
Equipment can fail when no one is on site — stock losses add up fast.
Compliance Gaps
Spot checks don't show EHOs the full picture — continuous records do.
Instant Alerts
Get notified the moment temperatures drift — day or night.
Complete Records
Every reading logged automatically — perfect for EHO inspections.
Protect Stock
Catch issues early before they become expensive stock losses.
Peace of Mind
Know your equipment is being watched — even when you're not there.
How It Works
Simple setup. Continuous protection. Instant alerts.
Step 1: We Install the Sensors
Professional-grade WiFi sensors are installed in your fridges, freezers, and cold rooms. Each sensor connects to your kitchen's WiFi network.
Step 2: Continuous Monitoring
Sensors transmit temperature readings to the cloud continuously. Every reading is logged and stored securely — building a complete compliance record.
Step 3: Alerts for Sustained Breaches
If temperatures remain outside your safe range for 45 minutes or more, alerts are sent via SMS, email, and app notification. This avoids false alarms from brief door openings during busy service.
Step 4: View in SmartChef
Access real-time temperatures, view history, and export reports — all from within your SmartChef dashboard. Perfect for EHO inspections.

Multiple Ways to Stay Informed
Alerts reach you and your team when there's a sustained temperature breach.
How Alerts Work
In a busy kitchen, fridge and freezer doors are constantly being opened, causing temporary temperature fluctuations. To avoid false alarms, we only send alerts for sustained breaches:
- Temperatures are logged every 5 minutes and stored in the cloud
- Your first alert is sent after approximately 45 minutes of continuous breach
- Follow-up alerts are sent every 30 minutes while the breach continues
- All temperature records remain available in SmartChef for compliance

Frequently Asked Questions
Temperatures are logged every 5 minutes and uploaded to the cloud. However, to avoid false alarms from brief door openings during busy service, alerts are only sent for sustained breaches:
- Your first alert is sent after approximately 45 minutes of continuous breach
- Follow-up alerts are sent every 30 minutes while the breach continues
This approach ensures you're alerted to real problems, not temporary fluctuations.
