A bakery has the same food safety obligations as any commercial kitchen — and a few of its own. Cold proofing rooms, chilled storage for dairy and fillings, hot-hold for baked products, allergen control across flour, nuts and seeds, and a production line that needs traceability from goods-in to packed loaves. Better Food Safety brings all of that into one digital system.
Why bakeries choose digital records
Paper folders don't survive a busy bake. A digital food safety system keeps every record dated, attributable and impossible to lose — and it's built around the checks a bakery actually does:
- Daily fridge, freezer and chiller temperature logs with out-of-range alerts
- Cleaning checklists for ovens, proofers, mixers and benches
- Goods-in traceability for flour, dairy, fruit and packaging
- Allergen control across major allergens, including gluten and sesame
- HACCP plans and critical control points tailored to a bakery process
- Production metrics — bread and pastry made, baked, packed and waste
Everything feeds into a one-click audit review, so when your inspector visits your records are already organized. For what's officially expected, see the FDA's retail food protection guidance.

Frequently asked questions
Is Better Food Safety built for bakeries?
Yes. As well as the core food safety records every kitchen needs, it tracks bakery-specific production — bread and pastry made, baked and packed, plus waste percentage — so your compliance and production records live in one place.
Does it handle allergens for a bakery?
Yes. The app covers major allergens, including gluten-containing cereals, sesame and nuts, with an allergen matrix across every product.
Can I track flour and dairy deliveries?
Yes. The goods-in module logs supplier, batch code, quantity, use-by date and delivery temperature for every delivery — and marks stock used for full recall traceability.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — a 30-day free trial with no card required. Plans are month-to-month from $6.99 with no lock-in contract, so you can cancel anytime.
