Bring your establishment's Eigenkontrollen together with its HACCP-based procedures. German food supervision is carried out by the competent authorities of the Länder and local districts. Keep hygiene, temperature, traceability and corrective-action evidence organised for the authority responsible for your premises.
EU food hygiene regulation: HACCP, hygiene and training- Review supplier and recipe changes before printing allergen information. Preserve the batch references needed if an ingredient is later withdrawn.
- Review German and EU consumer-packaging requirements separately from internal kitchen labels. A preparation label helps organise the kitchen but is not an automatic retail-labelling approval.
What it does
- Owner-confirmed shelf lives
- Each product’s prepared, opened and defrosted shelf life is set by you — ProCafe never invents an expiry. The discard date is computed from the moment your team prints.
- Four label types
- Prepared, opened, defrosted and discard-by labels — each carrying the product name, dates, storage instructions and the staff initials of whoever printed it.
- Allergens and lots on the label
- Labels carry the product’s allergen summary and can reference the delivery lot — and if a linked lot’s use-by is earlier, the label’s discard date shortens to match, flagged as it happens.
- Immutable print history
- Every print is a frozen record. Reprints reproduce the original exactly, expired labels are refused, and nothing can be silently altered.
- Kitchen labels, not retail labelling
- These are operational labels for your own kitchen. They are not customer-facing retail labels — retail and prepacked food labelling has its own legal requirements that this feature does not claim to meet.
How it works
Set up your products
Add each product once with its shelf lives and allergens — owner-confirmed, never guessed.
Print on shift
Staff pick the product and label type; the label reads exactly what the preview shows, discard date computed.
PDFs for your printer
Download PDFs sized for compatible A4 label sheets (including 21-up L7160) and common thermal label sizes — no proprietary hardware required.
A print history you can stand behind
Every label ever printed is kept as a frozen, unchangeable record — who printed it, when, and exactly what it said. Reprints come from that record, and expired labels are never reprinted.
- Owner-confirmed shelf lives, computed discard dates
- A4 sheet + thermal label PDFs
- Immutable, reprint-safe history
