SATO's touch screen solution offers a big screen with visually-engaging colour-coded categorization. This user-friendly interface is fully customizable and requires little or no training at all. The labels can contain information about the type of food, ingredients, manufacturer, imported by, contact details, use-by date etc. This provides instant, accurate and legible information to all kitchen staff.
Operators in food service restaurants, especially in the Quick Service Restaurants - commonly known as fast food restaurants - face challenges daily to manage food shelf life to guarantee food freshness and to avoid spoilage or food contamination. Labelling systems are inadequate to ensure freshness. For instance, the use of tape to record dates on food packaging is a food hazard. It leaves an adhesive residue that can be a receptacle for bacteria. Operators often rely on information being recorded by hand, which leads to inconsistencies and confusion: an unacceptable risk in the food service industry.
Easy reference to such information is critical in a food environment as it enhances customer experience and minimizes food spoilage that leads to waste or unhappy customers.

| SATO OFFERS THE FOLLOWING THREE OPTIONS IN LABEL TYPES |
| |
| DATERIGHT™ - FREEZE: For adequate food storage, restaurant chefs can use DateRight™ - FREEZE labels; these semi-permanent labels can withstand cold temperature and meet all required application requirements, including corrugated surfaces and materials such as plastic and paper. |
| DATERIGHT™ - PEEL: Comprises of a dissolvable adhesive, which are cold-temperature-resistant and offer clean removability. The acrylic-based adhesives are designed to adhere firmly, but can be peeled off easily when washed in water while leaving the substrate unstrained and intact. |
DATERIGHT™ - DISSOLVE: The touch screen labelling solution includes a dissolvable facestock*, which is specially designed with an easy "wash-away" feature and is highly water soluble. The adhesive completely dissolves within seconds in tap water. With high tear resistance quality, it can be applied to glass or plastic materials. This is specially designed for temporary food labelling.
