The project
SafeForms is a cross-platform food safety app for commercial kitchens and food production teams. Staff generate QR-coded labels for hot hold, cold hold, receiving and calibration, print them straight from Android POS devices, and log food temperatures in real time. When a reading is unsafe, the app guides staff through corrective actions and records incidents with notes, photos and employee sign-off. Thermometer calibration, alerts, audit logs and PDF and CSV exports complete a self-contained system for food safety compliance. We built it in Flutter, with a React admin panel and a Node.js backend.
The challenge
- Paper labels and temperature sheets were slow to fill in and easy to get wrong.
- Corrective actions after an unsafe reading were handled inconsistently and often not recorded.
- Thermometer calibration records and audit documents took a long time to gather before inspections.
What we built
- QR-coded food labels generated in the app and printed directly from Android POS devices.
- Real-time temperature logging linked to each labelled item through a QR scan.
- Guided corrective actions and incident reports with notes, images and staff sign-off.
- Calibration logs, alerts and reminders for checks and expiring items.
- Audit and activity logs with PDF and CSV report export.
