Restaurants are responsible for 60% of all E.coli and Salmonella outbreaks in the US, causing more than 2,000 deaths and 77,000 hospitalizations each year. In 1993, an E.coli outbreak killed 4 children and left 732 people in the hospital. A similar incident occurred in December 2006 when contaminated lettuce from a fast food location got 71 people sick, 8 with kidney failure. Most recently, a 2015 norovirus at a popular restaurant chain infected more than 500 people and killed 4…damaging their reputation for years to come. Sales plunged by more than 36%. Federal and state governments are imposing a number of new standards and practices to address food safety: temperature control guidelines, HACCP and HARPC requirements, and select components of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Paper is a problem for many reasons: 1. Managing heaps of papers can be messy and overwhelming. 2. Paper requires manual data entry, which can lead to errors. 3. Paper is frequently gets lost or accidentally destroyed. Mobile Apps are the solution.
