Health Inspections Made Easier with the Right Tool
Do you remember what it was like when you were first learning to drive? It might have been a little dangerous but certainly it was challenging. Eventually you got better at it until eventually it became second nature. One of the reasons new drivers are more dangerous is because the “tool” of driving, the automobile, feels foreign. Tools make all the difference in being able to work well.
When you walk into an establishment to perform a health inspection, you want any tools you use to enable you to focus on the job of observing, analyzing and communicating. If you’re having to wrangle a difficult tool, that becomes a distraction that keeps you from doing your best work and serving your community.
A Good Tool is Humble
A good tool performs its role effectively and quietly in the background. It makes your job seem effortless — at least a part of it. No one is saying you have an easy job but if we can make the entry and reporting of information effortless then that lets you focus your attention on the hard stuff like food safety and communicating with people.
A good tool should also save you time. When it does, you have more room for all the important parts of the job. What if you had more time to catch up with restaurant staff? What if you had time to build better relationships? Could that lead to increased food safety?
Boiling it Down
This is really about getting the job down to its essence. When you boil it down, you're left with skilled observation and reporting. If we can remove the distractions we can do better work. Why should we enter information in the field and then again at the office? Why waste time looking for previous inspections when it should be a few taps of the screen away?
We built Inspector A to make food establishment health inspections intuitive and less time consuming. If we make data entry and reporting streamlined and effortless, then we’ve succeeded. We believe in the power of simplicity and how important it is to make health inspection software really easy to use.
