Cold rooms
Monitor walk-in chilled storage continuously and set limits appropriate to the food and equipment.
TEMPGAURD247 · COLD ROOM MONITORING
24/7 cold room temperature monitoring for commercial kitchens.
TempGaurd247 gives restaurants, pubs, hotels and catering businesses live cold-room readings, automatic temperature alerts and a continuous digital history inside the wider TKEG compliance platform.
WHY CONTINUOUS MONITORING HELPS
A manual check tells you one moment. Continuous monitoring shows the hours between.
Cold rooms can be affected by door use, loading, defrost cycles, power interruptions, equipment faults and connectivity issues. A connected sensor gives managers a time-stamped history rather than relying only on isolated readings.
That does not remove the need to follow your own food-safety procedures. It gives you better visibility of equipment performance and a clearer evidence trail when something needs investigation.
✓
Live readings
See current cold-room temperatures remotely from TKEG.
✓
Temperature alerts
Know when readings move outside the limits set for that cold room.
✓
Connectivity warnings
Identify monitoring units that stop reporting instead of discovering a silent data gap later.
✓
Digital history
Review trends, previous readings and the timing of temperature excursions.
UK FOOD-SAFETY CONTEXT
Monitoring supports control; it does not change the temperature rules.
FSA guidance says cold food must generally be kept at 8°C or below in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and recommends setting refrigeration at 5°C or below to provide a margin for fluctuations. Scotland uses a different regulatory framework, so operators should follow the requirements that apply to their location and food.
Walk-in fridges
Track temperature movement through busy service periods, deliveries and repeated door opening.
Multi-site kitchens
Give managers visibility across more than one site without relying on separate paper sheets.
CONNECTED TO TKEG
Temperature alerts and compliance records in one system.
TempGaurd247 is an add-on to TKEG, so continuous equipment monitoring can sit alongside manual temperature checks, probe calibration, corrective actions, opening and closing checks and due-diligence reports.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Cold room monitoring FAQs
What is a cold room temperature monitoring system?
A connected temperature monitoring system records cold-room temperatures automatically and sends the readings to an online dashboard. TempGaurd247 adds alerts, history and connectivity warnings so managers can see what happened between manual checks.
What temperature should a commercial cold room be set at?
The correct operating target depends on the food and equipment. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, cold food that requires temperature control must generally be kept at 8°C or below, and FSA guidance recommends setting fridges at 5°C or below to allow a margin for normal fluctuation.
Does continuous monitoring replace manual checks?
Not automatically. Continuous equipment monitoring gives a stronger picture of equipment performance, but each business should still follow its own food-safety management system and complete any independent food, probe or verification checks required by its procedures.
Will TempGaurd247 alert us if the cold room becomes too warm?
Yes. You can configure upper and lower limits for the monitored appliance and TempGaurd247 is designed to notify relevant users when readings leave those limits.
Can it monitor walk-in fridges as well as cold rooms?
Yes. TempGaurd247 can be used across fridges, freezers, walk-in chillers and cold rooms, with each monitoring unit named against the correct appliance or location.
How much does TempGaurd247 cost?
TempGaurd247 costs £19 per month as an add-on to TKEG and includes up to five monitoring units. Additional units cost £2 each per month. TKEG membership is £9.50 per month.
