A cafe chain with five locations battled chaos from humidity and temperature swings. Mould thrived above 70%-80% RH and 5°C, spoiling $2,000-$5,000 of pastries and dairy per site yearly - $10,000-$25,000 chain-wide.
Dry air below 40% shrivelled $1,000-$2,000 of greens per spot. A breakdown at 8°C trashed $5,000-$10,000 per café - costing $25,000-$50,000 total. Staff skipped checks, burning $500-$1,000 in labour and $1,000-$3,000 in spoilage per site. HACCP fines were in the thousands and compressor repairs hit $500-$1,000 per site, draining another $15,000 annually.
CoolIQ would shine here. Its multi-site monitoring could track temp and humidity across all locations, with a central dashboard flagging 78% RH or 8°C spikes instantly via SMS and on-site alarms. Auto-reports would simplify audits, dodging fines effortlessly. Humidity fixes - like ventilation or silica packs - could cut mould risks by 80%, while dry-air alerts would prompt quick action to save stock. Our monitoring system is tailor-made for a chain needing unified control and fast response.
