What template should I use for checking fridge temperatures?
Pilla
search_topics()get_topic()Based on our fridge temperature check guide, the best starting point is **Fridge Temperature Check #1 – Simple log** if you just need the team to record readings consistently: [guide](https://yourpilla.com/blog/fridge-temperature-check). If you want a bit more control, the next best fit is: - **With guidance** if staff need a reminder of the safe limit - **With a signature** if you want sign-off - **With photo evidence** if you want proof of the display reading - **With Pilla checking the photo** if you want the system to review the photo automatically - **With a team alert if the check is overdue** if you need reminders when it’s missed If you tell me how strict you want the evidence to be, I can point you to the best variation.

For hazard spotting, what is the difference between the simplest version and the most advanced one?
Pilla
search_topics()get_topic()Based on our hazard spotting guide, the simplest version is **“The basic check-in”**: it just captures the hazard when it’s spotted, plus the **location** and **what to do next**. The most advanced version is **“With Pilla checking the photo”**: it includes the basic report, **a photo of the hazard**, and Pilla reviews that photo and flags it to the team chat if it isn’t clear. If you want to read the guide, here’s the article: [5 ways to automate hazard spotting](https://yourpilla.com/blog/hazard-spot).

How do I make sure my team actually does the fridge checks every day?
Pilla
search_topics()get_topic()The best fit is our **Fridge Temperature Check** template, and for making sure it actually gets done every day I’d start with **#6 — With a team alert if the check is overdue**. It’s designed for scheduled checks where someone needs a nudge if the reading isn’t signed off on time. [See the guide](https://yourpilla.com/blog/fridge-temperature-check#6---with-a-team-alert-if-the-check-is-overdue). If you want something simpler, the same guide also includes: - **#2 — With guidance** if rota staff need help knowing what to do - **#3 — With a signature** if you want a named sign-off - **#4 — With photo evidence** if you want proof of the display If you’d like, I can also help you pick the best version for a single site vs a multi-site team.
