Snack bar
Few staff and full fridges, Coolwatcher keeps watch so you can stay behind the counter.
Why Coolwatcher
At a snack bar everything runs on speed, which is exactly why temperature logs are the first thing to slip. Temperature monitoring for a snack bar keeps your freezer and fridge in check without costing you a minute of your day.
Why temperature monitoring in a snack bar?
A snack bar leans heavily on the freezer. Croquettes, frikandels, snacks and fries move in and out in bulk, with fast turnover during the rush. The freezer needs to hold at least minus 18 degrees and the fridge no more than 7. At that pace a slow fault only shows itself once it is already too late.
Coolwatcher measures every freezer point continuously and keeps the same close watch on the fridge for sauces, dairy and salads. As a small business you get the same grip on your cold chain as a large kitchen, with no extra staff.
The fryers and the hot side need attention too, but it is the fridge and freezer where a fault costs money fastest. Coolwatcher goes up in minutes and starts measuring from day one, with no complicated installation or wiring.
HACCP compliance for a small business, handled automatically
Even a small snack bar falls under HACCP and has to record temperatures and keep them for 2 years. A food safety inspection simply asks for your logbook, and a missing record quickly means a fine from 525 euro. Coolwatcher takes over the logging and has your HACCP report ready, so at an inspection you can show at once that your fridge and freezer are under control.
A full freezer thawing overnight, how do you stop it?
The scene every snack bar owner dreads: you open up on Monday to a freezer full of thawed stock. A weekend breakdown can wipe out 2,000 to 8,000 euro of product in one go. Coolwatcher sends a fridge and freezer alert straight to WhatsApp the moment the temperature drifts, day or night. The NB IoT sensor works without WiFi, so even in a cramped back room or cellar the measurement keeps running.
Coolwatcher fits the pace of a snack bar: mounted and ready, from 29 euro a month. It watches your stock while you work the fryer.
