Most kitchens use a single shared tablet rather than individual devices for each staff member. The recommended approach is to create a Tablet User to keep the app permanently logged in, while individual staff members select their name when completing a form.
How It Works
The tablet stays logged in as a single generic account. When a staff member needs to complete a form, they open it, select their name from the staff dropdown, and enter their 4-digit PIN. No logging in or out is required between staff members.
How to Set Up a Shared Tablet
Log in to the Admin Console
Navigate to Staff & Users
Click Add User
Enter a generic email address for the tablet (e.g.,
[email protected])Set a name for the account (e.g., "Kitchen Tablet")
Set the Access Level to Tablet
Click Save
On your shared tablet, download the Safe Food Pro app
Log in using the generic tablet email and password
The tablet can now be left in the kitchen. Staff members select their name from within each form — no individual login required.
Note: Make sure all staff who will use the tablet have a Staff Record set up. See Adding a Staff Member if you haven't done this yet.
Using Tablet Manager Instead
If you want the shared tablet to have slightly more capability — such as the ability to add staff or view training records from the device — use the Tablet Manager Access Level instead of Tablet in step 6.
