The Date Code Genie systems all have a Wi-Fi connection and the data, which is safely is stored in the cloud, is updated every 24 hours. This also means that there is no limit on how much data you can store. If your site is growing and you new need allergen listings for new menu items, simply input them and they are stored for use at all connected sites.

Overall, the system will increase label consistency and accuracy, simplify food labelling and preparation, and maximise labour efficiencies. In fact, for a busy establishment, when the labour savings are considered, the machine will pay for itself in the first 6-8 months. It is capable of printing up to 60 labels per minute. There is also an optional Product Control tracking system that allows the user to analyse what ingredients are used most, and when. This will help highlight money saving waste adjustments, as well as presenting an opportunity to build upon more allergen-free dishes where possible.

The labels are FSA (Food Standards Agency) and EHO (Environmental Health Officer) compliant and can be applied indirectly to food as well as safely applied to cooler and freezer containers. This covers allergen labelling for both front and back of house operations. Due to the standardised and automatic nature of the printed labels, the chance for human-read error is greatly minimised.
