Worked a 14-hour shift and then found out my cooler was set wrong the whole time
Came in early yesterday to prep for Saturday dinner rush at the restaurant downtown. After service I checked the walk-in and noticed the temp was sitting at 48 degrees, not the 38 I thought it was. Pulled the log book and saw it had been creeping up for almost three weeks and nobody caught it. Had to toss about $400 worth of produce and cream. Has anyone else dealt with a cooler problem that cost you real money before you noticed?

A wireless temp sensor saved me $600 in meat the first month I used one.

Have you ever read about how those digital temp monitors with phone alerts are getting cheaper now? I just saw an article that said they can save restaurants thousands in lost product over time. I think something like that would have caught your cooler problem way earlier. I know it's another expense but compared to $400 it might pay for itself real quick. Sorry you had to deal with that after such a long shift too.
