Kelsius FoodCheck 2.0

Kelsius FoodCheck 2.0 is a food-safety platform for operators who need to connect temperature monitoring with daily compliance work. It is strongest for multi-site teams that need shared records and reporting; businesses seeking simple checklist software or an upfront price should look elsewhere.

Overview

FoodCheck 2.0 brings temperature logs, digital checklists, corrective actions, inspections and audit reporting into a portal. Wireless sensors send encrypted readings through a local network controller to the portal, and Bluetooth probes record food temperatures. Linking readings with follow-up tasks and records can help teams keep monitoring and response in one workflow, though the sensor-and-controller setup is more involved than a checklist-only tool.

Portal customers can manage HACCP and food-safety operations from any web-enabled device. Cleaning tasks can be scheduled around business requirements, while multi-location support gives chains visibility across sites. These capabilities suit operators standardising procedures across venues better than businesses with only occasional recordkeeping needs.

Key features

Monitoring, alerts and records

Continuous sensor monitoring helps teams watch for temperature deviations outside routine checks. For quick-service restaurants, alerts can arrive by push notification, email or voice call; staff actions are recorded in an audit trail. Mobile apps for Android and iOS let portal customers manage alerts remotely, so response does not depend on being at a workstation.

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. The Web Portal adds chain-wide dashboards, group usage reports and scheduled reports by site or region. That combination is most useful where managers need to review activity across locations rather than assemble records manually.

Security and support

Kelsius says data is processed and stored in the EU, encrypted in transit and at rest, 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. Daily and incremental backups are designed to restore data to any five-minute point between backups, with retention exceeding 30 years. Customer support runs Monday to Friday, 08:00–18:00 UK and Ireland local time; Kelsius Chat provides 24/7 technical support and documentation.

Pricing

FoodCheck 2.0 is paid software with custom pricing; Kelsius asks prospective customers to contact the company for a quote. There is no free trial, but a free demo is available by request. Without a stated price, buyers cannot compare the cost against their site count and monitoring needs before speaking with Kelsius, so the demo and quote are important first steps.

Platforms

FoodCheck 2.0 supports Android, iOS and web. The portal works from any web-enabled device, while the Android and iOS apps let customers view and manage alerts remotely.

Who it's for

Kelsius targets food retail, hospitality, catering, butchers and quick-service restaurants. Its combination of monitoring, traceability, scheduled tasks and multi-site reporting is a particularly strong fit for operators coordinating food-safety work across several venues. A small business needing only basic digital checklists may find the monitoring setup and custom quote harder to justify.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Connects continuous temperature monitoring to alerts, corrective actions and audit records, helping teams act on deviations and retain a record of the response.
• Pros: Multi-site dashboards and scheduled reports give chain and regional managers a way to review activity across locations.
• Pros: Traceability searches, use-by dates and production labels support product-level records alongside routine checks.
• Cons: Wireless sensors rely on a local network controller, making deployment more involved than software-only checklist products.
• Cons: Custom pricing and no free trial make it difficult to assess cost or explore the product without contacting Kelsius and requesting a demo.

Alternatives

For a broader restaurant-focused shortlist, see Restaurant Food Safety Software. Choose Ideagen Safefood 360° if you need its wider platform availability, including Linux, macOS and Windows; it is paid, has no free plan, and requires a demo request for pricing. Hubl is worth considering if you want a free trial and a published per-site option: its Tall plan is £19 a month, billed monthly, with unlimited users and devices and no setup fee. Appticc HACCP may suit a smaller restaurant seeking a published entry plan and trial: Restaurante costs $29 a month for one location and up to five professionals making records, with support and guidance included.

Chomp is another paid alternative, with an Annual Plan priced at $80 a year. Food Safe System may suit buyers specifically seeking sensor-based automated temperature monitoring, with a Pro + Sensors Plan priced at A$21.50 a month per sensor and a $400 setup fee. FoodDocs offers a published Lite plan at $99 a month per site, or $79 if billed annually, and a free trial.

Food Safety Guru has custom pricing on a monthly rolling contract that can be cancelled anytime, and offers a free trial.

Verdict

FoodCheck 2.0 is a strong choice for food businesses that need connected temperature monitoring, traceability and compliance reporting across multiple sites. Its central advantage is the link between readings, alerts, corrective action and audit records; its main drawback is a hardware-based setup paired with pricing that requires a sales conversation. Choose it when that connected, multi-site oversight is central to the operation, and look elsewhere for a simpler checklist app or a published price.
