Why log hygiene tasks?

A catering business has the obligation to guarantee the cleanliness of its premises. To do this, it must ensure that the operators carry out cleaning tasks on a recurring basis.

In the event of a health check, a statement of the tasks carried out makes it possible to guard against a legal risk and fines.

How to log hygiene tasks?

To log a task, you must first ensure that you have correctly configured the storage areas

It's also best to have previously scheduled the automatic creation of tasks in order to:

• avoid operators from having to enter all the settings and thus validate tasks very quickly
• avoid forgetting a task

The list of hygiene tasks is accessible in the Traceability tab of the main menu

The drop-down title in the header provides access to hygiene tasks.

To create a task that has not yet been programmed, you must:

1. Click on Create a task via the " + " at the bottom left or the main button of the screen when there is not one yet
2. Select the task type "cleaning"
3. Select the area to control
4. Choose the surface or the material concerned
5. Indicate the products and methods required
6. Indicate the date of the expected statement if it is a schedule. This value will be replaced by the current time when the operator indicates that the task is finished.
7. Indicate the status of the task
8. Add a comment if needed

The contextual menu of each zone represented by the " ⁝ " symbol allows you to:

• Edit task
• Delete Task

⏱ Automation

You don't have to create each hygiene sheet manually: once your templates are set up, Melba automatically generates the hygiene sheets and temperature logs every hour for the next time slot. The planning fills itself in; all that's left is checking off the tasks in the kitchen as you go.

If generation is skipped during maintenance or an outage, it resumes on the next hour with no duplicates and no gaps.

For the full rundown on what runs automatically in Melba, see Melba's automated background tasks.
