Inspection logging that proves the round happened in your location
Staff on opening and closing shifts scan a QR at each checkpoint across your kitchens, restrooms, and dining areas, share GPS, and attach photos. You get a timestamped, mapped, exportable inspection log — defensible proof for owners, franchisors, and health inspectors.

Why Restaurants & Food Service teams use Autonix
Line checks and opening/closing inspections are the backbone of food-safety compliance and the first thing an inspector or franchisor questions.
A manager claims the closing line check was done. The scan history shows the checkpoint was hit at 10:52pm with a photo — or that it was skipped three nights running, which is the real coaching opportunity.
Kill pencil-whipped inspections
A round is logged only when staff on opening and closing shifts scan the QR at the checkpoint and share location. GPS and a server-side timestamp make it impossible to fill in the whole sheet at the end of a shift.
Prove the round was actually walked
Every checkpoint scan plots on a map with who, when, and where — hand owners, franchisors, and health inspectors the full route in seconds instead of digging through a binder.
Capture the finding, not just the checkmark
Attach photos and notes at each checkpoint so a flagged issue comes with evidence and an exportable trail for follow-up.
What inspection logging looks like in Autonix
Real screens from the product. Every scan becomes a mapped, timestamped, exportable record.
See every check-in on a live map
The Location Data tab plots a pin for each check-in and lists who, when, and the exact coordinates. Pins cluster at the real site — the visual that ends a dispute.
One check-in, all the proof
Open any visit to see the person, the timestamp, the GPS pin, and the proof photos they captured.
Photo evidence, grouped by visit
Inspections, cleaning, and field work land in a gallery you can review and export with the rest of the record.
A clean, exportable record
Every check-in lands in a searchable log with names, times, and photo counts. Export CSV or pull via API.
Everything you need to prove the round
Scan-to-log checkpoints
One QR per checkpoint. A scan logs the round with identity, time, and GPS — no clipboard, no app.
Required GPS
Set location to required so an inspection can only be logged from the actual checkpoint.
Photo + note evidence
Require a photo at check-in so findings come with visual proof, grouped by visit.
Exportable history
Roll recurring rounds into a searchable, exportable history via CSV or API.
Dispute-ending proof from three things that are hard to fake together
The strength of an Autonix check-in is the combination: a physical QR code posted at the location, the visitor’s browser GPS at the moment of the scan, and a server-side timestamp that can’t be hand-edited.
Straight talk: Autonix is built to end everyday “did the work actually happen, and where?” disputes, not to be court-grade anti-spoofing. For rounding, cleaning, inspections, patrols, and field visits, it’s dramatically stronger than a paper sign-off and settles the question in seconds. See our security & trust practices.

Frequently asked questions
Does this document food-safety line checks?
It proves the check was physically performed at each station with a time and photo. Pair it with your HACCP process — Autonix is the proof-of-completion layer, not a food-safety system of record.
Can a franchisor verify inspections across locations?
Yes. Inspection rounds roll up per location so brand standards are verified with evidence, not trust.
What is an inspection logging app for restaurants & food service?
It replaces paper inspection sheets with a QR scan at each checkpoint across your kitchens, restrooms, and dining areas. Staff on opening and closing shifts scan, share location, and add a photo or note — producing a timestamped, GPS-located, exportable inspection log for owners, franchisors, and health inspectors.
How does Autonix stop pencil-whipping?
The proof comes from three things hard to fake together: a physical QR at the checkpoint, browser GPS at the scan, and a server-side timestamp. Rounds filled in from a desk stand out because the pins don’t cluster at the real checkpoints.
Can I require location or a photo on each checkpoint?
Yes. Location is a per-tracker toggle you can set to required, blocking the log until the inspector shares GPS. You can also require a photo for findings that need visual evidence.
Do inspectors need to install anything?
No. Check-ins open in the phone camera and browser — nothing to download and no training, so teams adopt it quickly.
