Digital day-dot system — no more mystery containers
Log prepared food with shelf life, auto-calculate use-by times, receive push alerts when labels expire. UK day-dot colour system built in.
What it is
The UK day-dot date labelling system is a legal best practice and a core element of the SFBB system. It ensures that prepared food is never used past its safe use-by time. Yumee digitises the entire process — replacing handwritten labels on containers with a digital log that auto-expires and alerts staff when food needs to be discarded.
How it works
Log prepared food
Enter the food name, who prepared it, and the shelf life in hours. Use-by time is calculated automatically.
Assign day-dot colour
The UK day-dot colour for the day of the week is shown automatically.
View active labels
See all active labels for today — organised by storage location with time remaining shown.
Receive expiry alerts
When a label reaches its use-by time, a push notification alerts the relevant staff member.
Mark as used or discard
Mark food as used or discarded. Discarded food is logged automatically for the food waste audit trail.
Why it matters
Mislabelled or unlabelled food in a commercial kitchen is a critical food safety risk. EHOs check date labels on every inspection — finding a container without a label or with an expired label is an immediate flag. Yumee's digital system ensures nothing is missed.
