Safety & compliance

ServSafe, temperature logging, documentation, surviving an unannounced inspection.

leans toward service

In the pipeline

This pillar is being written through the off-season, one guide a week. Coming up:

  • Temperature log templates that get used in progress
  • The inspection checklist in progress
  • Sanitation SOPs for a seasonal kitchen in progress

Want these as they publish? The off-season letter sends one guide a week through the planning season.

Two ways forward

— the same module on every guide, so it reads as advice rather than an ad.
You have the people

Run the kitchen on systems instead of memory

Camp Kitchen Pro holds the recipes, par levels, allergen flags and production plans, so a new crew inherits the last one’s work.

  • Scale recipes to any headcount
  • Allergens flagged at the ingredient
  • Orders built from the menu
Camp Kitchen Pro → software · flat rate
You cannot keep a crew

Have the whole kitchen staffed for you

Summer Camp Cooks recruits, trains and manages the crew, with a food service manager on site who owns the outcome.

  • Crew recruited, trained and managed
  • A food service manager on site
  • Camps of 100–900 campers and staff
Summer Camp Cooks → managed service
