Congratulations on your acquisition of the Temp-Taker® 3 – Subway Edition. This edition automates the temperature-taking process while maintaining full compliance with Subway’s operation guidelines, including the printing of Subway’s Temp Log reports and the implementation of Subway’s Corrective Action procedure. This guide will assist store owners and managers in quickly setting up and using the Temp-Taker®...

To perform a fresh installation of the Temp-Taker® software, please note the following: You must be logged on your machine with an administrator account; this is because Windows must install USB drivers. You may also need to temporarily disable antivirus and/or other security software in ...

The store owner or a general manager should be the first to log into the software. Click the ‘Log In’ button on the left vertical toolbar, select Manager from the ‘Select User’ dropdown, and then log in (see figure below). Log in as Manager PINs can be enabled (see slide #17)

The figure below shows how to perform the one-time setup of the Subway reporting features. Enter your Franchise Number and the AM/PM target times for taking the temperatures that should appear in the Subway Temp Log reports. Temps do not need to be taken precisely at these specified target times. They may be taken at any time during the AM and PM.

Take-Temps reminder alarms can optionally be set after installing the software. This is done in the Take Temps Programs tab (see example in the figure below). Many Subway stores set reminder alarm times that correspond to the target AM and PM times entered in the General Settings ...

The figure below shows how to take In-Range Temps. The Temp-Taker® uses a proprietary temperature-stability detection algorithm to determine when the temperature of the probe’s tip has sufficiently stabilized before producing the temperature reading. This contributes toward generating fast/accurate Temps. If the measured temperature is within the established safe zone, an In-Range event is generated and the event details are saved into non-volatile memory.
Page 11
The figure below shows what happens when a Temp is Out of Range. Appropriate Corrective Options are provided according to the product being measured and the circumstances in which the product was measured (e.g. if it’s an initial Temp or if the Temp was taken after corrective action had been performed).
Page 12
Before the Corrective Session countdown timer expires, another Temp of the product should be taken under the Main Menu icon ‘Corrective Sessions’. The figure below shows the Out-of-Range Turkey item (from the previous slide) in Corrective Session. The user inserts the probe in the product and takes an In-Range Temp.
Page 13
The figure below continues the example shown in the previous 2 slides. Turkey was ‘in Corrective Session’ and after corrective action was performed the temperature of the product was recovered. The figure below shows part of the Subway Food Safety Temperature Action Log. Note that Temp-Taker®...

Spot-Check Temps mode behaves essentially as a digital thermometer. In this mode no Temps are recorded. To activate this mode, navigate to the Spot-Check Temps icon on the Main Menu and press the l key (see figure below). Press the key to exit Spot-Check Temps.

Subway Temp Log reports may be generated from either the Report View or Supervisor View tabs (see figure below). The report may be generated at any time after the first Temp event has been uploaded for the selected week. The Scope must be set to ‘Week’ (as shown in the figure). The cover page of this document contains images of a sample Temp Log report.

All AM Temps must be taken between 12:00 AM and 11:59 AM. All PM Temps must be taken between 12:00 PM and 11:59 PM. You may take as many Temps as desired throughout the day. When generating the Subway Temp Log report the software will automatically select the Temps ...

Consider storing the handheld device in a highly visible location. For example, it can be magnetized to a cooler or freezer door. This will make the LED more visible when alarms are activated. Also, the device may be kept in Clock mode when not in use. We recommend using two pairs of rechargeable batteries when doing so.
Page 19
Multiple Temp-Taker® handheld devices may be used simultaneously in a store. The software can upload data from any number of devices and consider all the data when generating the Subway Temp Log report. The Temp-Taker® software may be installed in more than one computer in ...
