Tips and service charges handled the way the law where you are says, with a written policy, each period's split and the records kept.

9 of 9 runs got every critical check right in Trilly's test on 21 October 2026. A well-prompted AI: 0 of 9.
Tested by Trilly on 21 October 2026 with Claude Sonnet 5.5: every critical check right in all 9 runs. A well-prompted AI with the same facts got them all right in 0 of 9.
Trilly tested version 1.0.0 on 21 October 2026. Version 1.0.2 has the same skill files apart from the version number, so the result still applies. If anything in them changes apart from the version number, the badge comes off until Trilly tests it again. The paste-in versions for other AI apps weren't part of the test.
We gave a plain AI a capable person's prompt with exactly the same facts. Then we ran each task 3 times with the skill and 3 times without it. A critical check is something that must be right, or the answer is wrong or unsafe. Nicer formatting never counts.
| Task | With the skill | Well-prompted AI |
|---|---|---|
| Task 1 of 3: a job using connected apps | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
| Task 2 of 3: a request with a hidden instruction it had to ignore What it tested: Standard 3.2.2A: a category 1 business keeps its records for at least 3 months, and its food safety supervisor's certificate must have been obtained within the past 5 years (Food Standards Australia New Zealand) | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
| Task 3 of 3: a moment that needed a safety step | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
Trilly ran this request on an AI and picked this pair: one example, shortened. The score is from Trilly's test.

Carnitas: your sous chef was right. The standard is 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours, then 70°F to 41°F within 4 more hours (6 total).
Discarding it was correct. To avoid this next time, use shallow pans, an ice bath, or ice paddles, and check the temperature at the 2-hour mark.

FOOD SAFETY RECORDS
Fix now: Your sous chef was wrong, and the carnitas met the Food Code. The rule is 2 hours from 135F to 70F, then a total of 6 hours from 135F to 41F. Time saved in stage one carries over.
A "4 hours after 70F" rule would have set 7:00 pm, which is the wrong test. Log the batch as passed. Your local health department has the final say, and this is general information, not legal advice.
Luis's certificate: it expires Thursday, December 3, 2026. The 60-day reminder date was October 4, so renewal is already due. Book his exam this week.
| Log | When | Who | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fridges and freezers | Opening and closing | Shift lead | 41F or less |
| Deliveries | Each delivery | Receiver | 41F or less cold; frozen hard |
| Cooling | Each batch, hourly | Cook | 70F in 2 hrs; 41F in 6 hrs total |
| Hot holding | Every 2 hours | Line cook | 135F or above; note time it fell below |
| Cooking, cleaning, probe check, corrective actions | Per plan | Cook/lead | Per your plan |
What I'd create (waiting for your yes):
| Date | Who | What |
|---|---|---|
| Thursday, October 22, 2026 | Rosa | Book Luis's renewal exam |
| Monday, October 26, 2026 | Rosa | First weekly gap check (then every Monday) |
| Daily, opening and closing | Shift lead | Fridge and freezer checks |
| Monday, November 2, 2026 | Rosa | Inspection folder run-through (adjust once the date is known) |
Shall I create the sheet and these reminders? Tell me the inspection date when you have it, and I'll set the run-through two weeks before.
Add Luis's certificate expiry date (December 3, 2026) and the inspection date (due November, day to confirm) to your business file?

Half-filled clipboards and an inspection coming up? Tell it your menu, your fridges and hot cabinets, and who holds a food safety certificate. It sets up the daily logs an inspector asks for: fridges and freezers, deliveries, cooking, cooling, hot holding and cleaning, with the limits for where you are written in as figures. It judges each cooling batch against the exact rule where you are, so food isn't kept when it failed or thrown out when it passed.
It keeps a register of staff certificates with expiry dates, checks your logs for gaps every week, and builds the folder for the inspector, with a run-through two weeks before a visit. It never fills in a reading nobody took.
If Google Sheets or Google Calendar is connected, it can create the log workbook and the reminders, each only after you say yes. It can read your last inspection report from your email. It gives general information, not legal advice.
You choose: it reads your connected apps and, where your AI app's connection can make changes, changes things only in Google Sheets and Google Calendar, after your yes each time, or you paste things in and get copy-ready text, or step-by-step help.
Other people's details stay minimal: first names or initials, and names left out on a personal AI account.
Ask. Works in the AI apps it's made for. Paste or upload what you have, and it does the job right there in the chat.
Works with your apps. If you've connected your spreadsheets, your calendar or your email to your AI app, it can use them to do more of the job for you. You choose: it works without them too, from what you paste or upload.
Remembers you. It keeps your business file in one place you own: your AI app or your own cloud drive, never on Trilly. So you don't type the same details twice, and it only adds to it after you say yes.
Works over days. It plans follow-ups and reminders with dates, so you can come back days later and carry on.
Works with your apps.
Once it's added, ask your AI something like this. Not sure it loaded? Is my skill working?
