## What is KitchenCert?

Get ready for your food manager certification exam.

KitchenCert is a focused, fully native iPhone study app for the Certified Food Protection Manager exam that most states require for restaurants, cafeterias, and food service operations. Every question is original, written from the FDA Food Code, and comes with a clear explanation.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 159 exam-style questions across all 7 exam areas: Keeping Food Safe, Food Safety Management Systems (HACCP and Active Managerial Control), The Safe Food Handler, Cleaning and Sanitizing, Purchasing and Receiving, Facilities and Pest Management, and Serving Safe Food
• A 20-question diagnostic that shows your predicted score and your weakest areas
• Timed 80-question mock exams with a 2-hour timer, scored against the 75% pass line
• 45 key-number flashcards for cooking temps, cooling times, holding rules, sanitizer concentrations, and more
• Smart practice that repeats what you miss until you know it
• Missed and flagged question review
• A new Question of the Day on the Home screen
• Progress charts by exam area, mock exam history, and a daily streak
• Siri and Shortcuts: “Quiz me in KitchenCert”

SPOT THE VIOLATION
Walk through a walk-in cooler, prep line, dish station, serving line, receiving dock, and the building like a health inspector. Tap everything that breaks a food safety rule, then see why it’s a violation and what a manager should do about it.

ON SHIFT: TOOLS FOR THE JOB
• Two-stage cooling timer (135°F to 70°F in 2 hours, 41°F within 6) with a Lock Screen and Dynamic Island countdown
• Time-as-a-control timers for 4-hour and cold 6-hour holding
• Hot and cold holding checks with reminders and the right corrective action when a reading fails
• Quick lookup for cooking temperatures, holding limits, sanitizer strengths, and more
• Every tool follows the same rules the exam tests, and links back to practice

A PRIVATE AI TUTOR, BUILT ON APPLE INTELLIGENCE
• Ask why an answer is right and get a plain-language explanation
• Get a memory trick for any question you miss
• Generate new practice questions on your weakest topic
• Answers come from KitchenCert’s verified study material, and the tutor runs on your iPhone, so your questions stay private
The tutor requires an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence with Apple Intelligence turned on. Every question still includes a verified explanation without it.
