AVA.LIT vs Patrono

The AVA.LIT app enables you to quickly access the most important part of your business and properties while on the go. This app can be used only AVA.LIT POS users.

The health inspector asks for your temperature logs. You print the month. Patrono replaces the food safety binder. Your team records temperatures and works through checklists on their phones, every record gets a time and a name, and a reading outside the limit can't be saved until someone writes down the corrective action. The same app also runs your staff schedule, tracks food handler cards and costs every dish, for one location or several. FOOD SAFETY LOGS • Cooler, freezer and food temperatures in °F, checked against the FDA Food Code limits: cold at 41°F or below, hot at 135°F or above (140°F in New York City) • A reading out of range can't be saved until someone writes down the corrective action • Once saved, a temperature or food safety record can't be edited or deleted by anyone, owner included, and it shows who entered it and when • Receiving and cleaning records sit next to your temperature logs • Every new location starts with 8 checklists in °F, written for the 2026 FDA Food Code: opening and closing for the kitchen and the front of house, receiving, staff health and hygiene, hot food checks and weekly checks • Build your own checklists to match your standard: add items, remove them and put them in the order your team works • Each finished checklist shows who completed it • In the web app, an owner or manager prints any month's log for a location, checklists and temperatures together, ready to hand to the inspector STAFF SCHEDULES • Build the week and publish it. Each person gets an email with a link to their shifts, sees them in the app and confirms them. • Staff ask a colleague to take a shift, and the colleague accepts or declines in the app. You see every request and its status. • Home shows each location's day: checklists done, who is on shift and food handler cards about to expire FOOD HANDLER CARDS AND STAFF • Each person's food handler card with its expiration date • Owners and managers get a reminder 30 days, 7 days and 1 day before a card expires, and on the day • Other staff documents, as a scan or a photo with an expiration date, are uploaded in the web app • Staff never see food cost, the menu or the staff directory FOOD COST • Recipes costed from what you pay your suppliers, in US dollars • Enter a new ingredient price and the cost and margin of every dish that uses it update at once • Suggested selling prices at a 25, 30 and 35% food cost MORE THAN ONE LOCATION • All your locations in one account. Switch between them, and each keeps its own checklists, logs and schedule. • Staff who work at two of your locations use one login • Managers open only the locations you assign them YOUR RECORDS ARE SAFE • Encrypted nightly backups, and a full restore we have already tested • Help 24/7 by email or WhatsApp, with a reply within 24 hours GETTING STARTED Patrono works with a Patrono account.
