Food Prep & Labeling
BOHA!® by TransAct is a food labeling system for restaurants and multi-location foodservice brands. Teams print prep, date code, use-by and Grab-N-Go labels from rules headquarters sets once, so the same item gets the same label in every kitchen.
Automated food labeling takes handwriting and date math out of prep, saving about 2 hours per location per day. With wireless printing, crews can print from a supported phone or tablet right at the prep table.
Operational Priorities
A food prep labeling system prints the labels kitchens put on prepared and stored food: prep, use-by and discard dates, product names, ingredients and allergens, plus Grab-N-Go labels with nutrition, pricing and barcodes. Staff pick the item on a labeling terminal or a supported phone or tablet, and the dates fill in from preset shelf-life rules. It replaces day dots, masking tape and hand-filled food rotation labels.
Daily prep lists, batch prep, recipe steps and how much to make, all before food goes into storage, onto the line or into the case.
Prep, use-by and discard dates worked out from shelf-life rules, so nobody does date math at the prep table.
Customer-facing labels for packaged food like sandwiches, salads, sushi and drinks.
Ingredients, allergens, nutrition, pricing and barcodes pulled from one source, so labels for an item always match.
One label format on every shift, so anyone can see what to use first and what has to go.
The Obstacles
Labeling seems simple until you multiply it by every shift, menu item and location. When it depends on handwriting, memory or local habits, small differences show up everywhere.
The same item gets a different name, date or format depending on who’s working and which store made it.
Smudged dates and handwritten shorthand slow teams down and make it hard to tell what to use first.
Looking up shelf life, writing labels by hand and reprinting missing ones add minutes to every prep shift.
Customers read these labels. One that looks rushed or incomplete makes the whole program look less trustworthy on the shelf.
Missing details and unclear dates lead to extra checks, relabeling and good food in the trash.
The Solution
When every label prints from shared data and rules, work moves faster and food goes from prep to storage to the shelf without guesswork.
Teams know what to prep, how to identify it and which label goes on it.
Every store prints labels in one format, with matching dates and product details on every shift.
Clear date code labels make it obvious what to use first, so rotation holds up on a busy day.
Grab-N-Go labels with your branding, ingredients, allergens, nutrition and pricing look shelf-ready every time.
