The problem
The clipboard by the walk-in gets lost
Temperatures get logged. Cleaning gets done. But the records end up in three places and no one is sure what's current.
- Median time a Conditional Pass stays on DineSafe1
- 140 days
- Public posting until re-inspection clears it
Today
- Temperature logs on a clipboard that gets coffee-stained and lost
- Food Handler certificates in a filing cabinet, or maybe expired
- No way to tell if every shift has a certified handler on duty
- Cleaning schedules on paper but nobody checks them
- Shellfish tags in a box somewhere, maybe past the 90-day retention
- Area manager chasing each site for the latest records

Questions & Answers
How long does setup take?
Under 10 minutes. Activate food safety, invite your team, and your first checks are ready the same day.
Do I need to be technical?
No. If your team can use a phone, they can use Duty Room.
Does this track Food Handler certificates?
Yes. Duty Room tracks certification status per employee and shows you whether every shift has a certified handler on duty.
Is this proof of legal compliance?
No. Duty Room keeps your food safety records organised and current. Whether your food safety program meets your public health unit's expectations is for you and your inspector to judge.
Are temperature logs legally required?
Public health authorities expect them, and inspectors check them first. Without logs, you can't show safe food handling.
What happens when regulations change?
We keep our starter blueprints up to date as Ontario food safety rules change. You and your food safety manager decide what to adopt.
Where is my data stored?
Canadian-hosted infrastructure. Your data stays in Canada.
What can I export if I leave?
Everything. Your data is yours.
