- Using the App for the first time (skip straight to this step for an article to send to your staff to train them in using Safe Food Pro! 🎉)
1. Downloading the App
Minimum requirements are iOS version 11 and Android version 7.0. You can download Safe Food Pro from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and install it onto the iPad, tablet or phone that your staff will use to capture information.
- Open the App Store or Play Store on your device and type 'Safe Food Pro' ('safefoodpro' will also work) into the search box.
- Click on the Safe Food Pro icon to start the installation process.
- Open the application once and you will be taken to the Login Page.
2. Setting up the App
When you completed the Safe Food Pro sign-up Wizard you had the opportunity to create a separate user account (email and password) for your mobile application. You can use that to login now.If you didn't create an account you have two choices:
- In the Safe Food Pro web console navigate to 'My Business', 'Users' and click the green plus button to add a new User. Enter names, an email address and password and chose the role 'Tablet'. Once this is finished you can then use this new account to login into the mobile application.
- Just use your administration account to login to the mobile application.
Note: We don't recommend this approach because if your staff need to login again to the tablet (for example after an application update) then you will have to tell them your administration password.
Once you have logged into the mobile application you will be prompted to set your PIN and signature. These are used for signing forms. Once you have saved your signature you are taken to the main 'diary' page of the mobile application.
3. Using the App for the first time
We've created a friendly guide you can send to your staff to give them a few quick steps on how to get up and running using the app in no time at all. Have a read of the article first to make sure you have everything ready to go, then send it to your staff once you've set them up. Here's the article on Setting up Staff in Safe Food Pro 💥
Ps. don't forget to complete your Staff Training with your staff when you set them up for the first time.
