Kitchen prep and date labelling, finally unified
Par levels, blast-chill logs, day-dot labelling and storage temperature checks in one standalone Odoo app — with real-time alerts and audit-ready reports, not just records that sit.
The problem
Prep par levels and food-safety knowledge live on paper clipboards and in the heads of individual chefs. When a shift ends, that context is lost — the incoming team rediscovers the wrong quantities through stock-outs or over-production, and no one can prove storage areas were checked, temperatures were in range, or items were dated and rotated.
The solution
Kitchen Prep Lists & Food Date Labelling keeps par levels, blast-chill timing, day-dot colours and storage temperature checks in one standalone workflow. Real-time alerts flag par deviations, temperature drift and approaching expiries the moment they happen, and readiness dashboards plus one-click audit reports give every shift a durable, inspection-ready record.
Everything a kitchen needs to prep safely
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Unified Prep & Date Labelling
Prep lists and food date/rotation labelling live in one standalone app — no bolt-on dependency on a proprietary restaurant suite, and no bridging two separate purchases.
Par Levels With Automatic Carry-Over
Each prep line tracks par quantity, prepared quantity and net required, with carried-over surplus calculated automatically from the prior shift's actual usage instead of re-keyed by hand.
Blast-Chill & Batch Yield Logging
Record blast-chill start/finish timing and batch yield per prep line as a documented food-safety control point.
Day-Dot Colour Labelling
Standardised day-dot colour selection on every prep line and rotation check keeps date labelling consistent across every member of staff.
Stock Rotation & Temperature Checks
Rotation checks capture storage area, checked-by, temperature reading, undated/expired items found, and raw-versus-ready-to-eat separation, with corrective action logged against any fault.
Real-Time Par & Temperature Alerts
Chatter messages and scheduled activities fire the moment actual prep diverges from par or a storage area drifts outside its safe temperature band — problems are caught before service, not after.
Expiry-Approaching Auto-Flagging
A scheduled scan automatically flags items nearing their use-by date so they are used or discarded in time, without waiting for a manual check.
Section Readiness Dashboard
A kanban dashboard shows today's prep done versus outstanding across every kitchen section at a glance, so managers know what is and is not ready for service.
Storage Heat-Map & Audit Reports
A colour-coded heat-map shows every storage area's latest temperature status, and one-click QWeb PDF reports turn any prep list or rotation check into inspection-ready audit evidence.
How it works
Configure sections & storage areas
Set up kitchen sections and storage areas with their safe temperature bands, then set expiry-alert and par-deviation thresholds in Settings.
Open a Kitchen Service
Create a Kitchen Service for the shift, meal period or event, and attach its prep lists and rotation checks.
Record prep & checks
Log par levels, batch yields, blast-chill timing, day-dot colours and storage temperature readings as the work happens.
Watch dashboards, act on alerts
Monitor Section Readiness and the Storage Heat-Map, and resolve par-deviation, temperature and expiry alerts before they reach the guest.
