Food Safety & Compliance
ProKitchen preparation labels in Ireland
Use internal preparation labels to identify the food and the dates established by your own safe method. Do not turn a default shelf life into a claim that every recipe is safe for that duration.

Shortened to the lot's use-byPutting this into practice in Ireland
Build the working day around your Irish food-safety system. FSAI's Safe Catering pack separates delivery, refrigeration, cooking and cooling, hot display, hygiene and staff records. Choose the activities your cafe actually carries out, then keep the observations and decisions together for your environmental health officer.
FSAI: Safe Catering pack- Check ingredient and allergen information against the current supplier specifications. Keep the label and menu matrix aligned when a recipe changes.
- Assess consumer packaging separately from an internal kitchen label. The information needed for a takeaway product can differ from a label used only to organise preparation in the kitchen.
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
