Temperaturelogs.
Log fridge, freezer and hot-hold temperatures on your phone, twice a day. No paper, and every reading is ready when the EHO asks.
The keypad works. Type 7.5 and see what happens. The keypad is in the phone below.
AM and PM checks, so none get missed.
Lemon splits the day at noon into an AM and a PM check. The FSA's SFBB guidance asks for at least one fridge check a day; a second check later catches failures sooner. If your own food safety system asks for more, follow that.

Too warm? Lemon flags it at once.
Each fridge, freezer and hot-hold has its own target range, pre-filled and adjustable. Key in the reading and Lemon tells you straight away if it is in range. If it is not, Lemon opens an issue with a corrective action, the paper trail your EHO wants to see.
Records you can trust.
Readings cannot be edited after the fact. Every one carries who logged it and when, so your digital log stands up at inspection.

Something else on your mind?support@getlemon.app
How often should fridge temperatures be recorded?
The FSA's SFBB guidance says fridges and chilled displays should be checked at least once a day, starting with opening checks. Your own food safety system may require more. Lemon recommends an opening and later check for earlier detection, and separates them into AM and PM periods.
What temperature should a commercial fridge be?
Keep chilled food at 5°C or below in practice. The legal maximum in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is 8°C, but running at 5°C or below gives you a safety margin. Lemon pre-fills a 0°C to 8°C range for a new fridge, which you can tighten per unit, for example to 0°C to 5°C.
Can a reading be edited after it is saved?
No. Once saved, a reading is locked, and that is what makes your records hold up at inspection.
Can I keep temperature records digitally?
Yes. FSA guidance lets you keep food safety records electronically, as long as they are accurate and you can produce them when an inspector asks. Lemon shows any day's checks in a couple of taps and exports a clean PDF on the spot, so you have something to hand over during the visit.
How many fridges and freezers can I add?
As many as your kitchen has. Lemon is a flat £19 per location per month with unlimited units and unlimited team members, so you are never priced per fridge or per user.
