FOOD SAFETY INSPECTIONS City/county health departments can track all restaurants and food retailers with our software, as well as manage food safety inspections:
· AMANDA saves staff from manual paperwork and enables them to enforce environmental health policies and maximize inspection efforts.
· It can log and track food complaints on an institution or a restaurant owner, effectively and efficiently recording details and dispatching an inspector.
· The system can give citizens online access to dynamic information, such as restaurants failing food safety inspections.
· Registered restaurant owners can access their inspection results via the web and track food preparation and handling courses. The system can even display a violation or risk warning when a restaurant’s food license expires.
The system’s features help automate food inspections by capturing photos and meat thermometer readings. Health Inspectors can also collect data such as: premise’s classification, risk category, performance and inspection history, enforcement actions, preparation, HACCP procedures and sections of local health regulations that they have violated. Staff can trace all restaurants run by the same person, giving them a quick way to stay on top of serial offenders and assess how often to schedule their restaurant inspections. Food inspection results can be compiled into public health reports or used to more effectively prosecute repeat offenders.
CODE ENFORCEMENT AMANDA helps officers maintain property standards. Complaints are made by phone or the web and the complainant can share or withhold their name. A complaint may be routed to specific enforcement officers depending on complaint type and district. Code enforcement officers can research the history of the property or owner/tenant to help them assess risk factors before going onsite.
Automate Code/By-Law Inspections - Inspectors with field devices use Mobile PAL software to see their cases and capture their findings. If a code/bylaw inspector notices a violation while in the field, they can also log it in Mobile PAL. Inspectors can log violation details, digital photos, ordinance section involved, severity of the violation and a deadline for remedying it. Code enforcement staff can also print the citation in the field. The system makes it easy to generate post-inspection reports, analyze the collected data, identify repeat offenders either by warnings or by prosecutions. All comments, correspondence and images are time-stamped and tied to each case file, giving a thorough audit trail for court prosecutions and enforcement. The system frees code enforcement and bylaw inspectors from drafting legally worded letters by generating compliance letters. The system automatically associates fines and assessing penalties for code violations.
