Restaurant operations software for every shift, at every location

Opening and closing checklists, line checks, temperature logs and kitchen repairs run on the phones and tablets your crew already uses, and you can see what got done at every location.
- Quick service, fast casual and full service
- One restaurant or a franchise group
- English and Spanish

Where restaurant standards slip
The temp log gets filled in at 3 PM
The morning and lunch readings are written in all at once, in the same pen, right before the manager leaves. Nobody knows what the walk-in really read at 11.
Closing depends on who closes
One closer filters the fryer oil and seals the walk-in. Another leaves the prep cooler open and the back door propped. You find out at 6 AM.
Repairs live in a group text
The ice machine has been acting up for two weeks and three people have mentioned it. Nobody called the vendor, and it quits on a Friday night.
Inspection day is a scramble
The inspector asks for last week's temperature records and the binder is missing pages. You cannot be sure your other locations look any better.
Opening, closing and line checks
Every shift runs the same checklist
Build your opening, mid-shift, closing and line check lists once and use them at every location. Set a due time like "by 10:30 AM" or an hourly check, and each location shows when it was last completed and who submitted it. See how digital checklists work.
- Yes/No and checkbox items a crew can finish in minutes
- Hourly, daily or as-needed checks
- Works on a shared kitchen tablet or a personal phone
Food safety
Temperature logs taken at the time, not filled in later
Cooks record cooler, freezer and hot-holding temperatures in the app during the check. With a supported Bluetooth probe from Cooper-Atkins (Copeland), the reading is captured and time-stamped, so nobody writes it down or retypes it. A reading out of range becomes a follow-up task with a due date.
- Cold holding at 41°F or below and hot holding at 135°F or above, checked on schedule
- A name and time on every reading
- Follow-up tasks for anything out of range
Temperature probes
Compatible with Cooper-Atkins (Copeland) Bluetooth 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.

Kitchen equipment
Fryers, hoods and ice machines on a schedule
Put each piece of kitchen equipment on a preventive maintenance schedule, from hood cleaning every three months to the grease trap every month. When something breaks, the crew reports it from a phone, the right person accepts the work order and the equipment keeps its full repair history.
- Preferred vendor and warranty date on each piece of equipment
- Work orders with a priority, a due date and an owner
- Next due and days overdue for every service
Multi-unit view
Restaurant operations software with every location on one screen
Owners, franchisees and area managers see food safety checks, daily tasks, preventive maintenance and work orders for each restaurant side by side. Group locations by region or brand and get a daily summary email with every location's checklist score.

Straight answer
What MaintainIQ is not
MaintainIQ is not a POS, a scheduling app or an inventory system. It does not build staff schedules, count stock or cost out recipes. It covers the daily checks, food safety records, audits and repairs that those tools leave to clipboards and group texts.

What is restaurant operations software?
It is software for the daily work that keeps a restaurant running, like opening and closing checklists, line checks, temperature logs, cleaning and repairs. Instead of clipboards and group texts, the crew completes tasks in an app and managers see what was done, when and by whom.
Does MaintainIQ work for a single restaurant?
Yes. MaintainIQ is priced per location with unlimited users, so an independent restaurant gets the same features as a group with dozens of units. Every cook, server and manager can have a login at no extra cost. See pricing for current plans.
Can franchisees and area managers see all their restaurants at once?
Yes. The Home dashboard shows food safety checks, daily tasks, preventive maintenance and work orders for every location, and a group filter lets you view locations by region or brand. Daily summary emails put every location's checklist scores in one email.
Which Bluetooth thermometers work with MaintainIQ?
MaintainIQ works with the Cooper-Atkins/Copeland KwikSwitch BLE 94100-B and the Cooper-Atkins/Copeland Multi-Function Thermometer. These are handheld probes your team uses during a check, and the reading is captured and time-stamped in the app.
Can my kitchen staff use it in Spanish?
Yes. Each person can switch the app between English and Spanish. The app runs on iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, and on the web, so a shared kitchen tablet works too.
Does MaintainIQ replace my POS or scheduling software?
No. MaintainIQ does not take orders, build staff schedules or track inventory. It covers checklists, food safety records, audits and maintenance, the parts of the day those systems usually leave to paper. You keep your POS and scheduling tools and use MaintainIQ for the rest.
