Dubai-based FITT Meals trusts Kelsius to protect their food and their business

Meal prep company FITT Meals is responsible for creating, preparing and delivering hundreds of thousands of meals in the UAE. They use Kelsius systems throughout their production processes to protect their food and their business.

Established in 2019, the FITT Meals business was started by Founded and CEO Eoin Cantwell. The aim of the company is to help health-conscious customers with busy lifestyles to save time but not sacrifice nutrition when it comes to mealtimes. FITT Meals shops, prepares, cooks, chills and delivers delicious and nutritionally balanced meals direct to over 500,000 customers throughout the UAE.

 

With affordable meal plans that provide maximum nutritional value and food quality, FITT Meals needed a temperature monitoring system that removed the need for paperwork and automated monitoring for improved efficiencies. As a company that strives to innovate and to be the best at what it does, they chose Kelsius to give them the confidence that they had an automated temperature monitoring system in place that they could rely on.

FITT Meals has recently opened a new warehouse and purpose-built facility to cater for their growing demand. With a now significantly larger operation, FITT Meals trusts Kelsius to monitor all the fresh food that passes through every stage of the production process including delivery, storage and food preparation.

Founder and CEO of FITT Meals, Eoin Cantwell said, “Moving into our new facility, there always needs to be investments upfront. One of the smartest ones we’ve made is with Kelsius, which literally ensures our food safety and ensures that our temperatures are all on check. It’s all done remotely, and everything is absolutely guaranteed for us. It’s a huge comfort knowing that we have a company like Kelsius behind us, keeping our compliance and our products up to date.”

Keith Grant Master Butchers uses the Kelsius system to simplify food safety checks and ensure temperature compliance

Keith Grant is the owner of Keith Grant Master Butchers, an award-winning butcher shop known for high quality meat products and traditional craft butchery.

In his butcher shop, Keith replaced manual temperature checks with the Kelsius FoodCheck 2.0 system, which provides a simple and reliable digital workflow that helps ensure food safety checks are completed and Environmental Health Officer requirements are met.

 

WATCH – KEITH GRANT TALKS ABOUT
THE BENEFITS OF USING THE KELSIUS SYSTEM

Describing how the Kelsius system has helped his business, Keith said, “Before we got Kelsius in, we just had paper trails. It was a nightmare. When we lost power overnight, we ended up losing an awful lot of stock. Kelsius has saved that from happening ever again…It’s absolutely transformed our business. It’s saved me tonnes of money!”

Staff no longer need to record temperatures manually throughout the day. Fridge and freezer temperatures are monitored continuously and all readings are automatically recorded within the system.

Digital records can be accessed at any time and compliance reports can be generated quickly when required. This helps the business demonstrate food safety procedures during inspections.

Real-time alerts also provide an additional safeguard. If a fridge or freezer temperature moves outside the correct range, the Kelsius system sends an alert so staff can respond quickly and take action.

The result is less time spent on paperwork, clear records for compliance, and reassurance that temperatures are being monitored at all times.

Ardingly College uses FoodCheck 2.0 from Kelsius: “…alerts help protect us from costly stock losses…it gives us real peace of mind…”

Ardingly College is a leading independent school in West Sussex, providing education and pastoral care for a large pupil community. The College operates a high-volume catering operation delivering daily meals for pupils alongside front-of-house hospitality for events, summer programmes, and visitors. Food safety, due diligence, and consistency are central to the catering team’s responsibilities.

The Challenge

Food safety management at Ardingly College previously relied on paper-based HACCP systems. This created a significant administrative burden, with multiple folders and binders requiring constant updating.

Paperwork frequently became damaged or incomplete in kitchen environments, and missing sheets caused frustration during inspections. Paper processes also created risk around record integrity during busy service periods, with limited assurance that checks were completed correctly and at the right time.

In addition, refrigeration failures during weekends or holiday closures had previously resulted in significant stock losses before issues were identified. The College required a more reliable, audit-ready system that reduced risk, saved time, and strengthened due diligence.

The Solution

Ardingly College looked to Kelsius’ FoodCheck 2.0 solution to reduce the administrative workload and paperwork, improve compliance and inspective preparation, and reduce time spent on food safety procedures and manual checks.

Results

Results achieved using FoodCheck 2.0 included:

  • Around two hours saved per day.
  • Paper records eliminated.
  • Reduced reliance on manual checks with 24/7 automated fridge and freezer monitoring.
  • Stock loss prevented thanks to early alerts.
  • Weekly compliance reporting consolidated into a single digital summary.
  • Improved EHO confidence.

Kelsius has become a core part of daily operations at Ardingly College, delivering stronger audit readiness, improved accountability, reduced waste risk, and greater confidence that food safety standards are being upheld consistently across the catering operation.

 

 

Winter Food Safety Challenges for Food Retail – A Perfect Storm of Risks for Food & Food Safety in Store

Winter is one of the most important and most demanding periods of the year for food retailers. The busy run-up to Christmas brings increased footfall, higher stock turnover, and pressure on teams to deliver consistently high standards. Yet as soon as the festive rush ends, many retailers face a sharp slowdown as customers return to work and take stock of their holiday spending. This seasonal fluctuation alone can place strain on operations, but the real challenge lies in protecting food safety throughout this exceptionally busy and unpredictable period.

Winter often brings a unique combination of complications. A perfect storm of actual storms, freezing temperatures, staff taking extended leave, and the need to hire and train seasonal workers all contribute to a higher likelihood of disruption. Normal routines can be interrupted, roles may need to be covered at short notice, and managers often find themselves stretched thin across multiple tasks and sometimes multiple sites. These pressures create an environment where manual food safety processes quickly become vulnerable.

Manual HACCP systems depend heavily on the availability and consistency of trained staff. When team members cannot reach the store due to extreme weather, when experienced staff take extended holidays, or when seasonal workers are still learning the ropes, essential checks may be delayed or missed altogether. At the busiest time of year, this leaves food at risk and increases the burden on management to maintain oversight.

This is why many retailers are turning to automation to safeguard their operations. Automated wireless temperature monitoring and digital HACCP systems significantly reduce the strain on teams during the winter season. By replacing paper records and manual data collection, digital systems ensure that accurate information is always captured, always available, and always stored securely. Authorised staff can access data and reports from any web-enabled device, removing the need to depend on colleagues who may be off-site or unavailable, and eliminating unnecessary travel in dangerous weather conditions. Systems such as FoodCheck2.0 from Kelsius are designed to be intuitive and quick to learn, meaning permanent, part-time, and seasonal staff can all use them confidently with minimal training.

Winter weather can also cause sudden equipment failures with the onset of extreme cold and freezing temperatures. With FoodCheck2.0, automated alerts notify you immediately when readings fall outside safe limits, allowing fast intervention before stock is compromised.

As winter and the busy Christmas season approaches for food retailers, digital HACCP is essential to manage operations smoothly.

Contact Kelsius today to ensure your food safety processes are winter ready.
