What is the Solution About?
Dill’s Automated Colour Coded Day Dot Labelling Solution enhances food safety and stock rotation in restaurants, pubs, chains, takeaways, coffee shops, and other food service venues. This innovative system utilises a colour-coding method to make expiry management even simpler. By employing a distinct colour for each day of the week, staff can easily identify the status of food items at a glance.
Imagine you have an Avocado Smash product: with our system, you can set the label to show a vibrant colour for the expiry day – let’s say red for day 6 – while the labels for the previous days will remain colour-coded, indicating that the product is still fresh. This visual cue significantly aids staff in managing stock efficiently and ensures food safety compliance.
Implications and Problems in the Real World
Many venues struggle with manual labelling practices, leading to:
- Confusion Around Expiry Dates: Staff may overlook expiry dates on handwritten labels, increasing the risk of serving expired products.
- Time-Consuming Processes: Traditional methods of tracking food expiry can be labour-intensive and prone to errors, leading to unnecessary waste.
- Inconsistent Labelling Practices: Without a reliable system, different staff members may label products differently, leading to confusion and potential health risks.
How Does the Dill Solution Help with This?
Dill’s Automated Colour Coded Day Dot Labelling System revolutionises how venues manage food safety and stock rotation, providing unique advantages:
- Clear Visual Indicators: Each label features one of seven vibrant colours representing a specific day of the week. On the day of expiry, for instance, the label for Avocado Smash due to expire on a Wednesday, will display red while earlier labels will be in their respective colours – helping staff quickly identify what needs to be used or discarded.
- Automated Expiry Management: The system automatically hashes out the previous days, leaving only the expiry day’s colour visible. This intuitive design allows staff who are accustomed to colour coding to spot expired items instantly, minimising the risk of using outdated ingredients.
- Efficient Labelling Workflow: Similar to our standard day dot labelling system, the colour-coded labels can be printed on-the-go from any mobile device, making it easy for staff to label products in real-time.
- Centrally Managed and Shared Labels: Just like our other solutions, the colour-coded labels can be centrally managed from the admin portal, ensuring consistency across all locations. Share the same colour-coded system among multiple sites effortlessly, maintaining a cohesive approach to food safety.
- Comprehensive Tracking and Reporting: Administrators can monitor label printing statistics, allowing for better inventory management and insights into food safety practices across all locations.
