SETUP GUIDE
STEP ONE
Login to the SFBB Pro admin website and setup your categories and products. Everything is setup on the SFBB Pro admin website (then day-to-day label printing is done directly from the SFBB Pro app.)
Part 1 – SETUP YOUR FOOD DATE LABELS ON THE SFBB PRO ADMIN WEBSITE
Log in to your SFBB Pro account on the website. From the menu on the left, select
1. Select Label Generator in the left menu > Add your categories
Select Add Category and create the food categories your kitchen uses.

Then save the categories you require.
2. Add your products
Open a category, such as Dairy, and select Add Product.
Enter the product information, for example Milk. Select where the product is stored — Fridge or Freezer — and set the appropriate expiry/use-by period.
For example, your business may use 2–3 days for refrigerated prepared foods or 30 days for certain frozen products. These are examples only: set the period according to your own food-safety procedures, manufacturer instructions and applicable guidance.
You can also add information such as allergens, a description and preparation instructions where required.
3. Complete your product list
Repeat the process until all the categories and products regularly used in your kitchen have been added.
Once this is complete, your staff can use the app for everyday label printing.

Hello World ...
Yes. Label printing is designed to be carried out through the SFBB Pro mobile app using a compatible Bluetooth printer.
The printer connects using Bluetooth. In the Food Date Label section, tap the printer icon, scan for the printer and connect. Once connected, you can print labels directly from the app.
No. The printer uses direct thermal printing, so there are no ink cartridges or toner to replace. You only need compatible thermal labels.
The biggest saving comes from removing repetitive handwriting and manual date calculations. Staff select a product and print, which can save significant time in kitchens producing dozens of labels every day.
Once your printer is ready, set up your categories and products in SFBB Pro, connect the printer through the app via Bluetooth and you can begin printing labels. For most kitchens it will take 20 minutes to setup, saving hours a week from manually writing out food date labels
