Food safety and QA
MaintainIQ is food safety and quality assurance software that puts your daily checks, temperature logs, audits and food safety plan in one app. Your team does the work on their phones, every record carries a name and a time, and you can see what got done, and what did not, at every location.
Operators at these brands use MaintainIQ
Daily checks
Opening checks, line checks, sanitizer buckets, handwashing sinks and closing checks all run as checklists with a due time. Each location shows whether today's list is done, when it was last completed and who submitted it, so "I thought the closer did it" stops being an answer. Start from more than 50 ready templates built around common rules such as the FDA Food Code.
Temperatures
Cold holding, hot holding and cooling checks run as temp logs. With a supported Bluetooth probe, each reading is captured and time-stamped in the app. A reading that fails becomes a follow-up task instead of a line on a sheet that nobody looks at until the inspector does.
Temperature probes
Pair a supported handheld Bluetooth probe with the phone or tablet, and each reading is recorded in the temperature log with who took it and when.

Audits
Quality assurance means checking the checks. Area managers and QA leads run audits in sections, like Kitchen or Front of House, and each one ends in a percentage score and a letter grade. For every location you see the last auditor, the date and the score. For walkthroughs and mock health inspections, see inspection software.
Follow up
A failed checklist or audit item becomes a follow-up task with a status and a due date. On each audit you choose whether follow-ups are optional or required. Daily emails tell owners and area managers what was done yesterday and what is still open.
Records
Keep your food safety plan, HACCP documents, training files and spec sheets in the document library, in folders your team can find. Share a folder with every location or limit it to one. The Compliance tab on the Home screen shows each location's last health inspection date, status and score.
Why switch
| Item | A paper binder | MaintainIQ |
|---|---|---|
| Knowing today's checks were done | Flip through the binder at each location | Status and last completed for every location |
| Knowing who did them | Initials, if someone remembered | The name of the person who submitted it |
| A bad temperature reading | Written down and often forgotten | A follow-up task with a due date |
| Audit results across locations | Forms and spreadsheets in different places | Last auditor, date and score per location |
| Finding the food safety plan | In the office, if it is up to date | In the document library |
Straight answer
MaintainIQ does not write your HACCP plan or track inventory. It makes sure the checks in your plan get done, get recorded with a name and a time, and get followed up when something fails.

It is software that runs the daily work of a food safety program. Checklists, temperature logs, audits and follow-up on problems happen in an app instead of on paper, so every record has a name and a time, and managers can see which locations are on track and which need help.
MaintainIQ does not build a HACCP plan for you. It is where your team does and records the monitoring your plan calls for, like cooling and hot holding temperatures, and where you keep the plan itself in the document library. Our guide to HACCP for restaurants covers the basics.
Food safety is about keeping food from making people sick, for example holding cold food at 41°F or below. Quality assurance is about serving the same product the same way every time, like portion sizes and how a plate looks. Most operators check both in the same line checks and audits.
Yes. MaintainIQ is priced per location with unlimited users, so a single restaurant or store gets the same food safety checklists, temp logs and audits as a group with dozens of locations. Every cook and shift lead can have a login without raising the bill. See pricing.
Yes. The Home dashboard shows each location's food safety checks, daily tasks, maintenance and work orders, and the Compliance tab shows each location's last health inspection. A group filter narrows it to one region or brand, and daily summary emails put every location's scores in one email.
Yes. Each person can use MaintainIQ in English or Spanish, and in Spanish your own checklist items show in Spanish too, not only the app screens. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, and the web, so a cook can use the kitchen tablet while the owner checks from a phone.
