Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so temperature fluctuations is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your walk-in cooler to catch wear before it becomes temperature fluctuations.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of temperature fluctuations in butcheries cold chains.
