Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Franchise Partner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "A product in development that doesn't need extra hardware, but requires some patience. " April 4, 2019 3.0 Two years use in a multi-location restaurant franchise. Pros It doesn't require anything special in the way of hardware to work. You can use any cell phone, tablet or computer. Some other temperature checking services require you to purchase proprietary thermometers etc for them to work. It doesn't take long to teach others how to use the product. It is fairly rudimentary in its interface. Cons This product is unfinished. It doesn't allow for on-the-fly changes to how it is used or the order in which it is used. Reporting is often faulty- it will show you that the process is not complete when it is. Dependent on the quality of internet access versus being a true standalone product.
