Catch what is coming to the end of its date while there is still time to use it, and leave a dated record that the round was walked.
Kitchen and catering · KC-07
A free printable goods in check sheet — supplier, date and time, temperature as read, packaging and date codes, quantity against the order, accepted or rejected, and a signature.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.

Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Record what was checked at the door while the driver is still there, so a short delivery or a warm box is a dated line rather than an argument a week later.
Kitchens, cafes, delis, care homes and anyone taking chilled or frozen deliveries who needs a record of the check.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: One line per delivery as it lands at the door — supplier, what came, the temperature as you read it, the packaging and date codes, the count against the order, and whether it was accepted.
Your limits, your decision. No temperature limits or date-code rules are printed here. The limits are the ones your kitchen works to and the rules that apply where you are — check those, write your reading in as you took it, and use the accept or reject column to record the decision you made at the door.
Write-on lines: Kitchen / site · Week beginning · Probe used
Table, 13 rows: Date & time · Supplier · Item & batch code · Temp read · Packaging · Date codes · Qty v order · Accepted · Signed
Because the limits that apply to your kitchen are set where you are and by your own procedures. The sheet records what you measured and what you decided; the figure you compare it against has to come from your own rules.
Give it its own line. One line per item or pallet keeps the accepted and rejected parts separate, which is exactly what you will need if a credit note has to be chased.
Catch what is coming to the end of its date while there is still time to use it, and leave a dated record that the round was walked.
Record temperature checks through the day against the limits in your own documented process, with the corrective action recorded beside the failure.
Record the batch codes going in and the destinations going out, so a recall or a complaint can be traced to one day's production rather than all of it.
Keep the ordering knowledge out of one person's head and on a page anybody could pick up.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
