Restaurant food safety management got a boost last week from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office when it granted food safety tech company, CM Systems LLC (ComplianceMate) a patent for its Digital Food Safety Management System, which provides a digital task checklist for restaurants that uses automated temperature sensors, automated checklists via a Bluetooth probe and reporting capabilities, a news release said.

This latest patent follows one issued in 2017 for some of the other aspects of a food safety management system, including a web portal for management and reporting and a handheld computing device for checklist completion.

"This issuance continues to expand the breadth and depth of our intellectual property portfolio as it relates to compliance for health and safety standards," Steve Getraer,CM Systems president, said in the release. "It reflects the dedication and commitment of our team to the foodservice industry."

ComplianceMate is an international SaaS company, headquartered in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
