Most plants don't know. The numbers live inside your sanitation labor budget — pre-op forms, ATP logs, sanitizer titration, allergen verification — hidden in every shift's paperwork. Three sliders below give you the answer.
Estimates are fine — we'll do the math.
The math is conservative and based on what we hear from food plants doing the transition from paper. We model the labor cost of paperwork — not the labor cost of the actual sanitation work — because the sanitation work happens either way. What changes is the time tax on top of every task.
The numbers:
About our pricing — most plants don't pay list. MSS offers a handful of stacking discount programs depending on how you buy: multi-facility deployments (when you roll out across two or more plants), annual prepay (vs month-to-month), intro pricing for new accounts, pilot programs during the proof-of-concept window, and strategic partner pricing for select integrators and channel partners. Most facilities land below the list rates shown in this calculator — so the real payback is faster than what you're seeing. Bring it up on the demo and we'll walk you through which program fits.
What this calculator doesn't include: audit-finding cost reduction, recall risk reduction, turnover cost reduction from faster new-hire ramp, supervisor time reallocation to coaching. Those are real and significant — but harder to model with three sliders. The number above is just the paperwork tax. The real total is bigger.
Want the full model on your specific plant? Bring two more numbers to a demo — average audit findings per year and average sanitation tech turnover — and we'll show you the rest.
