A date starts with the right event time.
When preparation is recorded later, the actual time of the preparation step matters. Recording time is saved separately. Entries more than 60 minutes after the event require a reason.
PREPLOQ displays times in the site's time zone. Head office defines the professional rule. There is no silent default shelf life applied to every sauce.
The shift sees what needs attention next.
The overview groups open containers by their use-by date. Held stock appears separately. Your team can open a container and record use or disposal; passing its deadline does not mark it as completed.
Configured devices can receive reminders before expiry, for overdue stock and for the daily overview. Actual receipt depends on the device and push permission. The current overview remains the basis for kitchen work.
Questions about this topic
Does PREPLOQ provide default shelf lives?
No. Head office maintains and confirms the rules. Missing or unclear required information blocks production workflows.
Is best-before the same as the internal use-by date?
No. PREPLOQ stores manufacturer best-before, manufacturer use-by and internal dates separately. The guide explains the terms.
