Opened today.
Use until when?

Get the correct discard date in seconds.

Search for the product and Shelf Clock instantly shows how long it's good for and the correct discard date based on your store's approved shelf-life rules.

Managers set the rules once, so every employee follows the same dates — no calendars, counting days, or guessing.

Free while Shelf Clock is in beta — no credit card. No password to set up, we email you a link.

Set up clear shelf-life guidance for every shift.

1

Add your product list

Bring in the product information your team already uses. Shelf Clock can read supported PDF, CSV, TSV, or text files, then shows the rows for review before they become rules.

Keep the team aligned

Give each shift one current place to check dates while managers keep the rules up to date. Today is the default opened date, and staff can change it if a product was opened earlier.

Helpful guidance still reviewed by the business

Built for the moment a team member checks a product.

A searchable staff view gives each shift one current place to check product dates, without adding another device or asking someone to track down a file.

Questions before you start.

What can I upload?

You can start with a PDF, CSV, TSV, or text file. Shelf Clock reads supported product information into a review list; your team checks the details before publishing.

Can I change an imported rule?

Yes. Every product opens in an edit panel where a manager can update room, fridge, freezer, notes, and category information.

How does my team see the chart?

Publish a direct link or QR code, then open the searchable staff view on a phone or tablet. It stays separate from manager controls.

Does this replace our food-safety policy?

No. Shelf Clock organizes business-reviewed rules. Your company remains responsible for verifying manufacturer, regulatory, and internal food-safety guidance.

Give every shift a clearer place to start.

Turn reviewed shelf-life notes into an approved, branded chart your managers and staff can actually use.
