Raccourci à la DLC du lotPutting this into practice in France
Organise your French establishment's plan de maîtrise sanitaire (PMS): hygiene practices, HACCP-based procedures, traceability and responses to non-conformities. Keep the working methods in the language your team understands and the evidence available for the DDPP or the competent departmental service.
Service Public: restaurant hygiene requirements- Keep recipe and supplier allergen information current before printing. Retain the batch references needed to investigate the prepared product later.
- Assess information for food sold in consumer packaging separately. Kitchen organisation labels do not automatically meet all French or EU consumer-labelling requirements.
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
