Audit-ready on every shift.
Every shift completes its checks, every bad delivery becomes a tracked QIR, and headquarters sees completion across every unit, in real time.
Checklists, logs, and audits map to the FDA Food Code and the controls a health inspector looks for, so a unit can self-assess before anyone walks in the door.
From open to close, every shift logs itself.
The hard part of multi-unit food safety is not the checklist. It is knowing that every unit ran it, catching the problems that do happen, and seeing it all without calling each store. Follow one day through one store.

HQ sees all of it
Completion by store and region, rolling up in real time.
A bad delivery becomes a tracked QIR, not a shrug.
Damaged product, a short-dated case, the wrong item on the truck. The crew files a Quality Incident Report in seconds with photos, right from the floor, and the distributor is on the record. Every report is time-stamped and attributable, and patterns show up across shifts and units instead of dying in a group chat. When the same distributor and product combination shows up a third time within 30 days, Beacon opens a corrective action automatically.
- File a QIR from the floor in seconds, with photo evidence
- Every report time-stamped and attributable to the distributor
- Patterns surface across shifts and units, not just within one store
- Repeat distributor or product issues open a corrective action automatically
See completion across every unit, in real time.
Stop calling each store to ask if the opening checklist got done. Completion rolls up by store and by region as it happens, so you can see which units are on track, which have an open incident, and where a pattern is forming, from one screen.
- Completion rollup by store and by region
- Open incidents and overdue checks at a glance
- Patterns across units, not buried in one location
- Scope the view to a region, a district, or a single store
Everything a shift needs, in one app.
Daily store-ops checklists
Opening and closing routines, temperature and time logs, cleaning schedules. Built for the line, completed on the floor, time-stamped automatically.
Health-inspection prep
Run an inspector-style rubric audit before the inspector does. Findings convert to tracked corrective actions so nothing slips between visits.
Floor Access Mode
Lock a shared device to the floor so it only does floor work. A barista signs in with a PIN and never sees the back office.
Any Tablet or Phone
Runs on any iOS or Android device today, with native apps coming soon. Camera capture and scan-to-context built for a busy shift.
Works where the work happens.
The floor is loud, fast, and not always online. Beacon is built for it: an app that runs on any tablet or phone, with native iOS and Android apps coming soon, keeps line checks moving through dropped wifi, and signs your crew in with a PIN in a second. The back office gets the data; the floor gets out of the way.

The restaurant and QSR surface was shaped with multi-unit operators, around how a real floor runs a shift: loud, fast, short-staffed, and not always online. The floor app exists because the people who do this work told us what a shift actually needs.

Questions multi-unit operators ask.
Straight answers, including exactly where the floor app's limits are.
It is the system a restaurant or multi-unit QSR uses to run daily food safety on the floor: opening and closing checklists, temperature and time logs, allergen and date-marking controls, incident reports, health-inspection prep, and training records. Beacon puts that work on a floor app your crew actually uses during a shift, and rolls completion up to headquarters so leadership can see every unit in one place.
Each crew member signs in with their own PIN, no email or password per person. They scan a station or product to load the right checklist, complete it, and attach photo evidence on the spot. Line checks queue through brief connectivity drops and sync on demand, so a dropped wifi connection on the line does not scrap the reading you just took. Floor Access Mode can lock a shared device to the floor so it only does floor work.
That is the point. Every unit runs the same checks, and completion rolls up by store and by region in real time. Headquarters sees which units finished their opening checklist, which have an open incident, and where a pattern is forming, without calling each location to ask.
Beacon runs health-inspector-style rubric audits, so a unit can self-assess against the same criteria an inspector uses. Findings convert into tracked corrective actions, and the daily logs an inspector asks for are already captured and time-stamped. When the inspector arrives, the evidence is in the system, not in a drawer.
A Quality Incident Report. When a delivery arrives with a problem, damaged product, a short-dated case, the wrong item, a quality defect, the crew files a QIR in seconds with photos and the distributor is on the record. Patterns show up across shifts and units, and when the same distributor and product combination shows up a third time within 30 days, Beacon opens a corrective action automatically, so a bad pattern does not just get logged and forgotten.
In part, and the specifics matter more than a yes. The floor app runs on any tablet or phone: in the browser today, installable to the home screen, with native iOS and Android apps coming soon. Line checks queue through brief connectivity drops and sync on demand, so a rush does not scrap the reading you just took. Checklist answers stay on the device until you are back on the network and resubmit. Photo evidence and incident reports need a live connection, and we would rather tell you that here than have you find it out in a walk-in.
Crew use a PIN, so onboarding a new hire takes a minute, not an IT ticket. The workflows are built for the line: scan, tap, photo, done. Managers and QA leaders get full accounts with dashboards and reporting; the floor stays simple on purpose.
