🥄 FreshCheck

Built in Edmonton. Built for Canadian kitchens.

FreshCheck started with a simple observation: nobody in Canada was helping independent restaurants digitize the records they're legally required to keep — in a way that didn't require an app, a training session, or an IT department.

Every restaurant owner knows the feeling — an AHS inspector walks in unannounced, and suddenly the temperature logbook becomes the most important document in the building. Is it filled in? Is it accurate? Is it even findable?

Paper logbooks fail in predictable ways: they get skipped during rush, they get wet by the sink, and they get "filled in" retroactively — which is exactly what fails an inspection. But the alternative for small restaurants has been either cheap generic apps that don't know Alberta rules, or enterprise software priced for 100-location chains.

FreshCheck is the middle path. A QR sticker on every fridge, freezer and prep station. Staff scan with the phone already in their pocket — no app, no login, five seconds. Managers get real alerts for out-of-range temperatures, missed checks and low stock. And when the inspector comes, everything is one scan away.

We're built by AdNet, an Edmonton print and digital agency. That's why the printed, laminated QR sticker kit is part of the product — we print, you stick, and someone local comes to your kitchen to set it up and train your staff. The software is the subscription; the relationship is the service.

What we believe

🏪

Independents first

Chains have enterprise software. Small restaurants deserve tools too — at a price a family restaurant can say yes to.

📍

Local means better

We set up your kitchen in person. When you need help, you talk to a human in the same time zone.

🖨️

Print + digital

Stickers you can touch, records you can prove. The physical kit and the software are one product.
