See Cheftag in Action
This is the Station UI — the screen your team uses every shift. Tap. Print. Stick. Here is what it looks like.

Station Home — Product Grid
The first thing your team sees when they walk up to the Station. Products are displayed as large, tappable tiles — big enough to hit with a wet or floury hand between tasks. Categories along the top, search bar, and a Recent row for items labeled in the last 2 hours.
Label Confirmation
After tapping a product, the operator sees a preview of exactly what will print. They confirm the label, then print. Pre-filled date made (today), date expires (auto-calculated by product category), and preparer initials. One tap on the blue Print button.
Printed Label
The thermal printer produces a clean, smudge-proof label. Includes product name, date made, date expires, and prep initials — on a 2" × 1" adhesive thermal label. Black on white. No ink. Cold-storage friendly.
Kitchen Dashboard (Essentials + Business)
The analytics view for Essentials and Business plan users. Shows labels printed today/this week, most-labeled products, items approaching expiration, and the waste log — what was thrown out, when, and why.

Use Cases
Morning Prep — Labeling Ingredients as They Come In
Maria arrives at 6 AM, unlocks the walk-in. She pulls out the mozzarella and needs to label it before it goes in the prep cooler. She walks to the Station, taps MOZZARELLA, confirms the date, enters her initials, taps Print. Label prints in 2 seconds. She sticks it on the tray and moves to the next item. Time per label: 8 seconds. No phone, no handwriting, no looking up expiration rules.
End of Service — Tracking What Is Left
After dinner service, the closing cook checks the dashboard and sees three items expiring tomorrow: chicken breast, house-made stew, and a batch of sauce. He flags them for use in tomorrow's specials and notes the volumes in the waste log — only small amounts left, both going in the trash. Next week he reduces batch sizes accordingly.
Health Inspector Visit
Inspector asks to see date marking procedures. Cook opens the Station history log and shows: labels printed today, product names, dates, preparer initials. Clean, digital, timestamped record. No boxes to dig through, no handwritten logs to interpret.
