Kelsius FoodCheck 2.0

Kelsius FoodCheck 2.0 helps food businesses manage food safety tasks, temperature monitoring, and audit records while supporting HACCP compliance. Wireless sensors send encrypted readings through a local controller to the Kelsius web portal, and Bluetooth probes add food temperature readings. Staff can manage operations from a web-enabled device, schedule cleaning tasks, and receive temperature alerts. For quick service restaurants, alerts can arrive by push notification, email, or voice call, with actions recorded in an audit trail. Traceability tools track opened products and search records by batch code, product, invoice, or completed task. Labels can include use-by dates, ingredients, and allergens; automatic printing is optional. Multi-site dashboards and scheduled reports offer visibility by chain, site, or region. Android and iOS apps let portal customers manage alerts remotely. Kelsius says data is stored and processed in the EU, encrypted in transit and at rest, and protected by access controls. Pricing is available on request, and a free demo can be requested.

FoodCheck 2.0 brings temperature monitoring, task management, traceability, and audit reporting into a portal with mobile alert access. Buyers will need to contact Kelsius for pricing; a free demo is available by request.

Food retail, hospitality, catering, butcher, and quick service restaurant operators looking to organize food safety work and temperature records may find it relevant. It supports teams managing more than one location.

Kelsius FoodCheck 2.0 is a connected food-safety platform for operators that need temperature oversight, traceability and audit workflows in one system. It suits food retail, hospitality, catering, butchers and quick-service restaurants, especially when several locations must report consistently. The trade-off is a hardware-dependent deployment and custom pricing rather than a simple, low-cost checklist app.

Overview

FoodCheck 2.0 automates food-safety tasks and reporting while supporting HACCP compliance. Wireless sensors take continuous readings, send them through a local network controller and relay them to the Kelsius web portal. Bluetooth probes provide a separate way to record food temperatures. This combination is practical for sites where refrigeration or holding temperatures need attention outside scheduled manual checks, although it requires installing and maintaining monitoring hardware.

The portal brings temperature logs, digital checklists, corrective actions, inspections, audits and advanced compliance reporting together. Cleaning tasks can be scheduled around a business's operating requirements. Portal customers can manage HACCP work from any web-enabled device, and the Android and iOS app lets staff view and manage alerts remotely. Actions taken through the app are recorded in the portal audit section.

Key features

Monitoring and response

Continuous sensor readings make deviations visible as they occur instead of waiting for the next paper or manual check. For quick-service restaurants, alerts can arrive by push notification, email or voice call, giving managers several escalation routes. Corrective actions and staff responses are retained in an audit trail, which makes the system more useful than a monitoring display that stops at the alarm.

Traceability and labelling

FoodCheck 2.0 Traceability tracks opened products and supports searches by batch code, product, invoice number or completed task. Use-by dates can be recorded, and automatic label printing is optional. Production labels can include ingredients and allergens. These tools are most valuable to businesses handling frequent stock rotation or needing to retrieve a specific product history quickly.

Multi-site oversight

The web portal provides chain-wide visibility through dashboards, group usage reports and scheduled reports by site or region. Multi-location support therefore fits groups that need central oversight without abandoning site-level work. Smaller businesses with one location may find this breadth unnecessary unless they also need the continuous monitoring and audit controls.

Security and resilience

Kelsius states that 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 for user activity and changes. It also states GDPR compliance, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and adherence to ISO 27001 information-security standards. Daily and incremental backups can restore data to any five-minute point between backups, with retention for more than 30 years. Disaster recovery is maintained across data centres in Ireland. These provisions matter to regulated operators that need durable records and controlled access.

Pricing

FoodCheck 2.0 uses paid, custom pricing. Kelsius does not publish a product price, and there is no free trial. Prospective buyers can request a free demo and must contact Kelsius for commercial details. That approach can accommodate a deployment involving sensors, controllers, sites and user roles, but it prevents a quick cost comparison and gives small operators no self-serve entry tier.

Support runs Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 18:00 UK and Ireland local time. Kelsius Chat provides technical support and documentation around the clock.

Platforms

FoodCheck 2.0 runs on the web, Android and iOS. Portal access works from any web-enabled device, while the mobile app is focused on remote alert viewing and management. Offline mobile access is supported, which is useful when staff cannot rely on a continuous connection during routine work.

Who it's for

Food retail, hospitality, catering, butcher businesses and quick-service restaurants are the clearest fits. Multi-site groups should benefit most from chain dashboards, regional reports, role controls and central audit visibility. It is also a strong candidate for operations that need temperature deviations escalated automatically and records retained for inspections. A small single-site business wanting only occasional HACCP checklists may be better served by a simpler, freemium product without sensor deployment.

Pros and cons

• Pro: 24/7 wireless monitoring and Bluetooth probes connect equipment readings with food-temperature records.
• Pro: Push, email and voice alerts, plus recorded corrective actions, create a clear response trail.
• Pro: Traceability searches, use-by dates and optional label printing support stock control and recall work.
• Pro: Dashboards, scheduled reports and multi-role access suit chains and regulated operations.
• Con: Custom pricing and no free trial make affordability difficult to assess before contacting Kelsius.
• Con: Wireless sensors and a local controller add deployment requirements that a checklist-only app avoids.

Alternatives

Browse Restaurant Food Safety Software for a wider shortlist. Choose BipOrder HACCP instead if a freemium service, free trial and a €0 Starter plan are more important than FoodCheck's monitoring hardware and reporting scope. Traceo is a better starting point for one establishment that can stay within 50 HACCP records per month on its free plan. Pick Alert65 when you want a paid Android, iOS and web option with demo-led purchasing. Ocapii Digital HACCP is another paid, multi-platform HACCP choice. Riskout is a paid Android alternative. BackResto suits buyers seeking a free trial, unlimited users and included setup and training on its no-commitment plan. Chomp offers a paid annual plan at $80 a year. ComplyFood is a paid Android, iOS and web option with a free trial.

Verdict

Choose Kelsius FoodCheck 2.0 if your operation needs connected temperature monitoring, traceability, mobile escalation and durable audit reporting across one or more sites. Its main advantage is the joined-up compliance workflow; its main drawback is the cost and complexity of a custom, sensor-based deployment. Buyers seeking a transparent price or a lightweight checklist app should look elsewhere.
