LinePilot replaces paper checklists with a photo-verified, real-time compliance terminal — mounted in your kitchen, running every shift. Proof you can hand to any inspector, any time.
The problem
When a health inspector asks what time the sanitizer was mixed — or a lawyer asks who verified the grill temperature — paper gives you nothing. LinePilot gives you everything, timestamped and photo-documented.
What most kitchens use today
What a violation actually costs
The cost of a food safety violation ranges from a minor fine to a kitchen-ending outbreak. Here is what each stage actually runs.
Small cleanliness issues, missed temperature logs. The cheapest violation — and the easiest one to prevent with a photo-verified checklist.
Severe or repeat critical violations bring health department fines up to $2,000, plus mandatory follow-up or probation inspections.
Every temperature-abused or potentially contaminated item in the walk-in has to be discarded. Cost scales with cooler size.
A temporary shutdown is the most immediate cost. Lost trade runs $3,000 to $10,000 per day depending on volume.
Professional deep-cleaning, consultants, and recertification to reopen — on top of staff sent home without pay or paid to deep clean.
A confirmed foodborne illness outbreak averages $3,968 per sick person. Lawsuits, legal defense, and PR recovery push the worst cases past $2.6 million.
Figures compiled from industry cost studies on restaurant health inspection failures and foodborne illness outbreak economics. Actual costs vary by jurisdiction, violation severity, and outbreak scale.
What LinePilot does
Built for food trucks, restaurants, catering, ghost kitchens, and institutional food service across all 50 states.
Every clock-in and critical task can require a photo. Time-stamped, employee-tagged, and stored. Proof you can hand to any inspector.
ComplianceA 0-100% score updates in real time as tasks are completed across Setup, Service, and Shutdown phases. Visible to everyone in the kitchen.
Transparency5-minute crew warnings go to every clocked-in employee. Critical alerts go to owners and managers always, regardless of shift status. No task falls through.
Accountability45+ products pre-loaded from a hosted catalog. Reps search by name or brand, tap to import, and every product includes dilution ratio, mixing instructions, PPM targets, and safety notes.
TrainingLink any product to any task. When staff tap that task, the product card opens automatically — logo, instructions, contact time, test strip type — before they mark it complete.
OperationsPunch in and out with a camera photo. Every punch is time-stamped. Owners see who is clocked in right now from the home screen with a green ring around their photo.
OperationsStore up to 3 food handler cards per employee with photo, issuing state, and expiration date. Warning badges appear 60 days before expiry. Expired cards show red on the home screen.
ComplianceMonthly and weekly views built into the terminal. Tap any date to assign a shift. No separate app, no paper schedule posted on the wall.

The countdown nobody can ignore
One terminal. Every shift. Every kitchen.
How it works
When a staff member taps a task linked to a product, the product card opens automatically with the distributor logo, dilution ratio, mixing instructions, and PPM target. They follow the instructions. They mark it complete. Every step logged.
Owners or reps link any catalog product to any task. Staff see it every time that task appears.
Dilution ratio, water temperature, contact time, test strip type — visible before they mark done. Not after.
The rep pre-loads their products. Every time that task runs — every shift, every kitchen — your logo is on screen.

Catalog-powered product library
Reps search the hosted product catalog when setting up a kitchen. Sponsored products sort to the top. Verified products carry a green badge. Region filtering ensures reps only see products available in their territory.
Your products appear first in every search. Amber Sponsored badge on every result. One tap to add to the kitchen library.
Verified products display a green VERIFIED badge. Helps kitchens choose products they can trust for compliance documentation.
Products are tagged by region. A Pacific Northwest rep only sees products distributed in their territory. No confusion, no wrong recommendations.
Sanitizer, Cleaner, Degreaser, Dish Detergent, Dishwasher Chem, Glass Cleaner, Floor Cleaner, Drain Cleaner, Towel and Cloth, Test Strips, and Other.

Real-time SMS alerts
LinePilot runs a two-tier alert system. Crew warnings go to clocked-in employees only. Critical alerts go to owners and managers always — regardless of whether they are on shift.
Every employee currently clocked in gets a text 5 minutes before a critical task timer fires. No excuses, no missed tasks.
If a critical task is not done after the timer fires, the owner gets an immediate SMS — wherever they are. Not when they check the app. Right then.
When the last employee clocks out, the owner receives a full shift summary: score, phase breakdown, and any missed critical tasks listed by name.
SMS goes through GoDaddy mail-to-SMS gateway directly to Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and all major carriers. No app required to receive alerts.
Shift-end accountability
When any employee clocks out, LinePilot shows the current kitchen compliance score and any incomplete critical tasks they can still finish before leaving. No surprises at inspection time.
Employee compliance
Up to 3 food handler cards per employee — card photo, issuing state, and expiration date. Warning badges appear 60 days before any card expires. Expired cards show a red EXP badge on the home screen.
For independent rep groups
You already visit these kitchens every month. LinePilot gives you a recurring revenue product that makes you stickier with every account. Once a kitchen runs on LinePilot with your products pre-loaded, they are not switching suppliers.
Reps get their own PIN distinct from owner and manager PINs. Grants access to configure the product library and set up the rep contact card during kitchen onboarding.
Your name, company, phone, and email are stored on the terminal. Staff can call or email their rep directly from the app. Your relationship stays front of mind.
Reps earn on new license sales and monthly residuals. The more kitchens they set up, the more they earn — every month, automatically.
Your products, pre-loaded
Every product in your catalog — sanitizers, degreasers, towels, liners, gloves, napkins, and more — appears with your logo, your dilution ratios, and your mixing instructions. Set once. Live in every kitchen you configure.
For material manufacturers
LinePilot is not advertising. It is training. Your exact dilution ratios, your mixing instructions, your logo — presented to kitchen staff every time they do the task that uses your product. At scale. Automatically.
Pricing varies by tier and territory. Contact us to discuss placement for your product line. Catalog updates push to all terminals automatically — no app update required.
