Introduction to HACCP

What HACCP is and how BakePilot helps you keep it up to date.

Last updated:

What is HACCP?

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a food safety system that every food business is required to have. In a pastry shop it means temperature monitoring, cleanliness checks and documenting your processes. BakePilot replaces paper notebooks with an electronic system.

  • A mandatory food safety system
  • Temperature monitoring of fridges, freezers, cold rooms and ovens
  • Cleanliness and hygiene checks
  • Documentation of production processes

HACCP in BakePilot

The “HACCP” item in the menu has five tabs: “Temperatures”, “Forms”, “GHP/GMP”, “Templates” and “Devices”. Here you record temperature readings, fill in control forms based on templates, browse the history and print monthly summaries in case of an inspection by Sanepid (the Polish sanitary inspection).

  • “Temperatures” - readings day by day and a monthly view
  • “Forms” - filling in control forms and a list of completed ones
  • “GHP/GMP” - eight ready-made hygiene and production procedures
  • “Templates” - editing forms with version history
  • “Devices” - fridges, freezers and cold rooms with their temperature ranges
HACCP tab with the Temperatures, Forms, GHP/GMP, Templates and Devices tabs, the New temperature reading form and a list of readings from September 4, 2026 with OK statuses
The “Temperatures” tab - the new reading form and the list of readings from the selected day.

Tip: Start with the “Devices” tab and add your fridges and freezers. After that, the daily temperature entry is just two fields and the “Save reading” button.

Alert when a limit is exceeded

Each device has an acceptable temperature range. When you enter a reading outside the range, the form immediately highlights the field in red and asks you to describe the corrective action. The reading is saved with the “Alarm” status, and if your team uses the BakePilot mobile app, they get a “HACCP alert” notification with the device name and the reading.
