How it works
Add a site, make folders, upload
1
Add each site you run
Every premises gets its own documents area, so one kitchen's records never mix with another's.
2
Upload your records to named folders
Make folders for temperature logs, cleaning, FOODSAFE certificates and inspections. Upload several files at once, or drag them in. Each file shows who added it and when, and you can download it whenever someone asks.

Food Safety questions and answers
What does food safety enforcement look like in the Fraser Health region?
Fraser Health publishes a list of food safety violation tickets with the business named. Fraser Health says it shows only tickets with a confirmed guilty status, and the current version covers 13 months. Duty Room has collected 11 versions and found 132 tickets dated October 2019 to July 2026. Most were $230 or $345. The archive has gaps, so it can't show a yearly rate. Our report on the tickets shows what they cited and where.
How long does setup take?
Add a site, make your folders and upload your first files. The time depends on how many records you bring.
Do I need to be technical?
No. If your team can use a phone, they can use Duty Room.
Does this track FOODSAFE certificates?
You can upload each certificate to the site's folder, and every file shows who added it and when. Duty Room doesn't read expiry dates or send reminders, so keep a note of when each one runs out. For food service establishments, the Food Premises Regulation requires the operator to hold FOODSAFE or an equivalent, and at least one employee on site to hold it when the operator is away. Fraser Health lists FOODSAFE courses.
Is this proof of legal compliance?
No. Duty Room keeps your food safety files in order by site. Whether your food safety program meets your regional health authority's expectations is for you and your inspector to judge.
Which health authority does this cover?
The provincial Food Premises Regulation applies across all five regional health authorities: Vancouver Coastal Health, Fraser Health, Interior Health, Island Health and Northern Health. Duty Room's site folders work the same way in each.
Are temperature logs legally required?
The Food Premises Regulation doesn't name a temperature log. It requires food service establishments to have a written food safety plan, and all food premises within its scope to store or display potentially hazardous food at 4°C or colder, or 60°C or hotter. Your food safety plan or an order may require records. A dated log records the checks and any corrective action. Ask your environmental health officer what your plan should record.
Where can I find official guidance?
Fraser Health publishes resources for food business operators, requirements for new food businesses and inspection reports for food premises in its region.
Where is my data stored?
Canadian-hosted infrastructure. Your data stays in Canada.
What can I take with me if I leave?
Every file you upload stays yours, and you can download each one at any time.
