It's time to meet one of our customers, a successful group of companies – Gruppo Terroni – that implemented the FoodDocs Food Safety Management System a year ago with the goal to save time and further improve efficiency!
Meet Michael Worbanski, Gruppo Terroni's Human Resources and Operations Safety Specialist. Michael is responsible for rolling out and implementing the FoodDocs' Food Safety System.
In 2023, the FoodDocs team had a productive interview with Michael to dig into their company's experiences and thoughts on food safety challenges and FoodDocs.
Let's get into it! See the topics below to get a glimpse of how Gruppo Terroni's FoodDocs journey progressed and how the team benefited from implementing FoodDocs software.
QUESTIONS FOR TERRONI:
"Our company was looking for a system to organize the work we do to effectively monitor our operations and commit to food safety compliance - which is very important for any food business.
The 3 main reasons why we were on a search for a food safety management system were to:
We wanted a system that would support our efforts to continuously train our temas, provide a way to monitor progress, and verify compliance.
Gruppo Terroni locations previously used in-house systems and paper-based monitoring logs. FoodDocs provided a completely digital solution.
"We chose FoodDocs for an all-in-one solution. Is is valuable for us to have a central system for managing information throughout all our locations.
Three critical points made FoodDocs stand out as a digital compliance solution over the rest:
"The system provides us with an easy-to-use solution for standardizing our work processes, which helps support every employee's role in maintaining food safety monitoring and best practices.
The value FoodDocs has added to our company goes well beyond the hours saved daily for our teams through streamlining daily monitoring activities and processes!
Although the system is very uniform and intuitive in general, the benefits we find most valuable from FoodDocs are the following:
With no hesitation, I can say that the company has already seen the significant contribution of smart software.
Everything we use FoodDocs for, including our own recordkeeping, helps ensure we always maintain best practices.
FoodDocs has significantly helped our company increase the effectiveness of managing food safety.
The system provides our teams with an efficient way to monitor and verify food safety throughout our operations, including shipping, receiving, storage, food preparation, production, traceability, packaging, serving, and other work processes."
"Although there are many useful elements, some of our most used FoodDocs features include the following:
2. Digital monitoring logs and checklists
3. The ability to add instructions in each log and checklist whether they be written, photos or even videos
4. Cloud storage for organizing important documents
5. The feature for attaching photos or videos for verification of compliance
6. Gruppo Terroni leaders having the ability to access information 24/7, when needed"
"During a local City of Toronto food safety inspection this year, Terroni received a stellar report from the inspector which FoodDocs helped support by keeping all supporting records in one easy to access location.
The records stored in FoodDocs help demonstrate the Company's ongoing compliance with all sections of the inspector's report.
FoodDocs makes the inspections easier for us because all the data is stored in one location. "
"Switching to an unfamiliar platform can always present challenges but the transition to a digital food safety platform went very well. We took the work we were already doing and digitized it in a system with helpful features that was easy to use.
We implemented FoodDocs' Food Safety Management System slowly and steadily into our everyday operations while gradually expanding to ensure that everyone learned how to use the system properly.
Thanks to gradual implementation processes, our teams now use FoodDocs solutions every day of our 7-day work week."
"In addition to our team becoming increasingly more productive and efficient, FoodDocs has helped our leaders manage many parts of their roles.
Training our employees has now become more streamlined and less time-consuming for the management. FoodDocs provides a tool to ensure standardized instruction and training records. In addition, the company now has a concrete method to validate compliance.
Terroni sees FoodDocs solutions as a useful tool that reduces the amount of time required to monito and verify all food safety tasks.
With FoodDocs' smart solutions, Gruppo Terroni management now has an easy-to-use system to help ensure food safety complaince and protect our guests from food safety issues. Now management relies on real-time information for making decisions and verification of tasks."
Terroni first opened in 1992 on Queen Street West in Toronto, Ontario as a small storefront selling southern Italian staples. Today, Gruppo Terroni has grown to encompass nine locations including three Terroni restaurants, two specialty restaurants, two bakery restaurants named Sud Forno and two commissary kitchens and storefronts named Spaccio.
Having been in business for over 30 years now, Gruppo Terroni prides itself on maintaining its core values by emphasizing the simplicity and quality of the ingredients they import from Italy. The company has managed to preserve its essence, starting from its raw materials, or materia prima In Italian, and the traditional and artisanal approach they take in making all of their dishes.
