What is the Solution About?

Dill’s Stock Rotation and Food Safety Labelling solution is designed for restaurants, pubs, chains, takeaways, coffee shops, and any venues looking to streamline their stock rotation labelling operations. This system allows you to generate clear, concise labels for all your food items – ensuring compliance with food safety regulations and reducing waste.

Implications and Problems in the Real World

In busy kitchens, the challenges of managing food safety and stock rotation are significant:

  • Inefficient Manual Labelling: Many venues rely on handwritten labels, which can lead to confusion, errors, and inconsistencies in food safety compliance.
  • Expired Inventory: Without a reliable system to track due-by and expiry dates, kitchens risk using outdated ingredients, compromising food safety and quality.
  • Wasted Time: Staff spend valuable time manually writing labels instead of preparing food or attending to customers, affecting overall productivity and service quality.
  • Complex Workflows: Managing various workflows for different products can become overwhelming without a streamlined system in place.

How Does the Dill Solution Help with This?

Dill simplifies the entire stock rotation and food labelling process, offering numerous benefits for busy kitchens:

  • Automated Day Dot Labelling: Our system automatically generates day dot labels that indicate when items were prepared and when they are due for use or disposal. You can set a duration for due-by dates, with the system automatically calculating the expiration based on your specified timeframe. Additionally, you can set automation hours, notifying staff precisely when a product is due to expire.
  • Customisable Labels for Various Products: Create labels tailored to your specific needs, whether for fresh prep items or packaged goods. You can specify due-by dates and expiry dates to keep your inventory organised and compliant.
  • Streamlined Workflow Management: The Dill system allows you to implement efficient workflows for labelling, ensuring that all items are tracked correctly. This helps keep everything organised and compliant.
  • Central Management Across Multiple Locations: Labels can be centrally managed and easily shared among all your locations from the admin portal. This capability ensures consistency in labelling practices, which is crucial for brand integrity and compliance.
  • Real-Time Tracking and Reporting: With our tracking features, you can monitor how many labels are being printed daily at each site. This data helps you manage inventory more effectively and make informed decisions about stock usage and replenishment.
