Kelsius FoodCheck 2.0

Overview

FoodCheck 2.0 brings temperature readings, scheduled tasks, corrective actions and audit records into a web portal. Wireless sensors send encrypted readings through a local network controller, while Bluetooth probes capture food temperatures. That combination gives teams a route from monitoring to response, rather than leaving temperature records disconnected from follow-up work.

Portal customers can manage HACCP and food-safety operations from any web-enabled device. Digital checklists, inspections and audits, temperature logs and compliance reporting cover routine recordkeeping; cleaning tasks can be scheduled to match business requirements. This breadth is valuable for teams replacing separate processes, but buyers should weigh it against the need to deploy monitoring hardware.

Key features

Temperature, alerts and corrective actions

Continuous monitoring is useful where readings need attention beyond scheduled manual checks. For quick-service restaurants, alerts can arrive by push notification, email or voice call. Staff can manage alerts remotely in the Android and iOS app, and their actions are recorded in the portal audit section. That trail helps connect an alert to a response; it does not remove the need for staff to act.

Traceability and reporting

FoodCheck 2.0 Traceability tracks opened products and supports searches by batch code, product, invoice number or completed task. Use-by dates and optional automatic label printing support product handling, while production labels can include ingredients and allergens. For multi-site operators, the portal adds chain-wide visibility, dashboards, group usage reports and scheduled reports by site or region. These tools make it a stronger fit for coordinated operations than for a single-purpose temperature logger.

Security and support

Kelsius says data is processed and stored in the EU, encrypted at rest and in transit, and protected by multifactor authentication, role-based access and audit trails. It states that its systems comply with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and that its information security management system adheres to ISO 27001 standards. Daily and incremental backups are designed to restore data to any five-minute point between backups, and retention is more than 30 years. Customer support runs Monday to Friday, 08:00–18:00 UK and Ireland local time; Kelsius Chat offers 24/7 technical support and documentation.

Pricing

FoodCheck 2.0 has a paid model with custom pricing. Kelsius offers a free demo by request, but no free trial is offered. With no published price or plan tiers, prospective customers need to contact Kelsius to assess the cost against their site count and monitoring needs; there are no stated seat or quota limits to compare. The demo is a way to evaluate the workflow before committing, not a free-use plan.

Platforms

FoodCheck 2.0 supports Android, iOS and web. The portal works from any web-enabled device, and the mobile app lets portal customers view and manage alerts remotely. Offline mobile access is supported, which can help staff working away from a live connection.

Who it's for

Kelsius identifies food retail, hospitality, catering, butchers and quick-service restaurants as target sectors. Multi-location support, chain-wide reporting and scheduled site or regional reports make it particularly relevant to operators coordinating compliance across locations. A smaller business focused on basic logs may find the combined monitoring and traceability scope more than it needs.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Temperature monitoring, task management, corrective actions and audit records share one portal, helping teams connect readings with follow-up.
• Pros: Batch and invoice search, product labels and multi-site reporting support traceability and oversight across a chain.
• Pros: Remote mobile alerts and an audit trail give managers a record of responses to deviations.
• Cons: Custom pricing and no free trial make cost and fit harder to assess without contacting Kelsius and arranging a demo.
• Cons: Monitoring relies on wireless sensors and a local network controller, so it is a more involved setup than a checklist-only tool.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, browse Restaurant Food Safety Software. BipOrder HACCP is worth considering if a freemium option matters, while Checkit Food Safety is another paid web and mobile option. Ideagen Safefood 360° is a paid alternative with a wider platform range, including desktop systems and API access; it has no free plan and requires a demo for pricing.

Traceo may suit buyers seeking a freemium option. Alert65 is a paid web option. Hubl offers a free trial and published per-site monthly plans, including unlimited users and devices on Tall. Appticc HACCP has a free trial and a published Restaurante plan for one location and up to five professionals. Chomp is a paid mobile and web option with no free trial and an annual plan.

Verdict

FoodCheck 2.0 is a strong choice for food businesses that need continuous temperature oversight, traceability and compliance reporting tied together, especially across multiple sites. Its main reason to choose it is that connected workflow; its main reason to look elsewhere is the hardware-dependent setup and custom pricing, which make it a less direct fit for buyers who need a lightweight tool or a clear upfront cost.
