SD–FOOD–01 · United States · not scoped to any state · your own adopted code goes in Section 1
56-page binder · 18 sections · plus fill-in checklist, how-to guide and sources · 165 pages across 4 files
Every binder a restaurant can download prints a holding temperature, a cooling time and a sanitizer strength. The food code published federally is a MODEL that states adopt, amend or ignore, so those figures may not be the ones your own health department works to, and they would be sitting in your binder, in your kitchen, with your name at the bottom of the page.
Tick the box above to continue. The button stays off until you do.
A recurring shift record rather than a document signed once, and the only binder of its kind that contains no temperature, no time and no concentration anywhere. Section 1.3 is a 30-row table of blanks for exactly those figures, filled in from your own local health department with a note of who told you and when; every log sheet later in the binder compares a reading against what you wrote there rather than against a number a template guessed. 2,903 fill-in blanks across 19 sections: opening and closing routines by station, temperature and cooling records, sanitizer and warewash records, handwashing, an allergen matrix, employee illness and exclusion, deliveries at the door, cleaning schedules, a pest sighting log, shift handoff, training, and a weekly corrective-action register. It cites no regulation, states no code as your requirement, and promises nothing about an inspection.
Before a document is downloaded, Simply Digital checks that its listed information is still current.

What's inside
What lands in your inbox
You fill in the document itself and hand it on. The checklist is there so you do not leave a blank in it. Everything else is reference. Every file is a PDF you can type into on screen, or print and write on, so you need nothing else to use it.
The rest of the set
Businesses like yours usually start with these. It is where a trade starts, not a complete legal inventory of everything it could ever be asked for — no list on any website is that. Every line below says where it came from.
Showing what a restaurant / diner / fine dining is asked to carry. It is the only trade on our list that needs this document.
Restaurant / diner / fine diningEleven items on the list, two of them a multi-file kit rather than a single document. You are looking at one of them. We sell five of the other ten; five we do not have yet.

Your state can add to this. We have written down three places where this trade’s set differs from one state to the next. What we sell is written to the federal baseline, and a state that runs its own programme can ask for more than the federal rule does. We have already written the difference down for California.
Print this checklistInside the file
01The binder itself, 19 sections with 2,903 fill-in fields, as a PDF you can type into
02Section 1, the part you fill in first: who at your health department answers your questions, which code your jurisdiction works to, and a 30-row table of blanks for every figure it sets
03Opening routine in four walks: outside and the way in, the kitchen, cold and frozen storage, and front of house, each line marked OK or Not OK with an action column
04Temperature records for cold and frozen storage, hot holding, cooking, cooling stage by stage, and reheating, every one compared against what you wrote in Section 1.3
05A thermometer accuracy record, because an instrument nobody checks turns every reading above it into a guess
06Sanitizer, warewash and chemical storage records, with the concentration and contact time taken from your own jurisdiction and the product label
07Handwashing: a hand sink check, your own list of when hands are washed, and a ten-minute observation record
08Allergens: the list you were told you must declare, a dish-by-allergen matrix, the procedure for taking an order, and a record of anything that went wrong
09Employee illness: the symptoms your jurisdiction names, a reporting agreement each food worker signs, and an exclusion and return record
010Deliveries checked at the door, with a rejection record and the rule that a supplier substitution is an allergen event until somebody checks
011Daily, weekly and longer-cycle cleaning schedules, a pest sighting log, contractor visits, closing routines and a shift handoff sheet
012A weekly corrective-action register with a repeat column, a health authority visit record, and a monthly owner sign-off

Exclusions
Before you buy
When the law behind this set moves, or a clause keeps causing an argument, we rewrite it and the new version lands in your account. You do not pay again. That applies to everyone who buys, member or not, for as long as we sell this document.
The files are yours the moment payment clears, so we do not give money back just because you no longer want them. You agree to that in the box above the button before you pay, not afterwards in small print.
If a file is the wrong one, will not open, is missing pages, or does not match what this page says, that is on us and we correct it at no cost, member or not. A version fitted to your business is either included with membership or $49 on its own. That promise is the reason the no-refund rule is fair.
Want this set edited to match how your business actually works? A non-member buys one tailored edit for $49, no membership needed, and it comes back within 2 business days. A Simply Current membership is $30/month and every fitted edit is included — it wins on the second edit.
One more time, plainly: this is a blank set and it is scoped to no state. Every state-specific figure in it is left blank for you to fill from your own, and whether what you write in holds is decided by your state's law, often your city's. Check yours before you rely on it.
