Shared Kitchen Login vs Personal Login: What’s the Difference?

When accessing the Chomp Kitchen App, there are two ways your team can log in:

• Shared Kitchen Login

• Personal Login

Both give access to the same tasks and features, but they work slightly differently depending on how your kitchen operates.

Shared kitchen login

A shared kitchen login is designed for team use on a shared device, such as a tablet or phone in the kitchen.

How it works

• Staff access the Kitchen App using a QR code or shared login button

• The app is not tied to a specific person

• When completing a task, staff must select their name after tapping Done

Best suited for

• Kitchens with a dedicated device (e.g. mounted tablet)

• Teams who don’t use personal devices during shifts  

Things to keep in mind

• Staff must remember to select their name when completing tasks

• There’s no individual login session, it’s a shared environment

Personal Login

A Personal Login is tied to an individual user’s account.

How it works

• Staff log in using their email and password

• Their identity is automatically linked to any tasks they complete

• No need to select their name when marking tasks as done

Best suited for

• Venues without a dedicated shared device

• Teams using personal devices with a username and password

Things to keep in mind

• Each user needs their own login credentials 

Which one should you use?

Most venues use a mix of both shared login for day-to-day kitchen use on a central device and personal logins.

If your kitchen is fast-paced and device sharing is common, the shared login is a simple option.
