Stop doing kitchen
compliance on paper.

That's exactly what it's built for. CompliChef replaces your paper HACCP records, temperature logs, cleaning schedules and checklists with a digital system that's faster to complete, easier to audit and always ready for inspection. The log books go in the bin.

Every record in CompliChef is timestamped and stored securely in the cloud. When an EHO arrives, you give them read-only access to your compliance records in seconds, without handing over your login. No scrambling for paper files, no missing records.

Yes. There is no rule that food safety records have to be kept on paper. What an inspector wants to see is that your checks are done, written down and acted on when something goes wrong. Digital records make that easier to show: every entry has a time and a name, corrective actions sit next to the reading, and you can give the inspector a read-only access code instead of a pile of folders.

CompliChef is used by kitchens in Scotland, including Valerio’s Famous Fish & Chips. In Scotland your food safety management system is usually CookSafe from Food Standards Scotland rather than SFBB. CompliChef doesn’t replace your CookSafe manual, but you can keep your day-to-day records in it: temperatures, cleaning, deliveries and checks, each with a time and a name, ready for your EHO.

Yes. KitchenPortal includes a digital SFBB / CCDFSM builder, so your food safety management system lives alongside the records that prove you follow it. Add Alice AI and the CCDFSM Generator asks you 12 questions, then writes all 13 sections for you as an EHO-ready PDF in minutes.

Benedict's Law is a campaign, led by the family of Benedict Blythe and the Benedict Blythe Foundation, calling for every school in England to have a statutory allergy policy, allergy-trained staff, spare adrenaline auto-injectors and proper allergy record-keeping. CompliChef gives school kitchens the tools to evidence exactly that: all 14 allergens tracked per dish, timestamped training and compliance records, and, with SchoolMenu Pro, allergen-aware menus, parent pre-ordering and a live kitchen display that flags allergies at the pass. CompliChef is independent and not affiliated with the Foundation; we support the campaign's aim of safer school kitchens.

Temperature logs (fridge, freezer, probe, hot holding, cool-down and reheating), cleaning and hygiene checklists, HACCP records, a daily diary and allergen management covering all 14 allergens. Everything is timestamped and inspection-ready. Explore KitchenPortal.

Yes, two ways. Bluetooth sensors (Inkbird is our tested recommendation) auto-fill fridge and freezer checks in the CompliChef iOS app, so there's no manual entry. Or, if you already have IoT / Wi-Fi sensors of any brand, every account can generate its own secure API key so those sensors push readings straight into your temperature logs. See temperature records.

Yes. CompliChef is cloud-based and works on any device with a browser, whether your team is logging temperatures on a kitchen tablet, checking rotas on a phone or reviewing records on a laptop. The iOS app adds Bluetooth sensor support.

StaffPortal is staff management built for hospitality: a rota builder and shift management, digital contracts and document signing, training records and certifications, and role-based access so each person only sees what they need. Explore StaffPortal.

Yes. Send contracts and documents from StaffPortal and your team signs them online, with a record kept against their profile. Kitchens typically save £150–£500 compared with paying a solicitor.

Yes. Build rotas and manage shifts in one place, and keep every certificate and training record on file, so food hygiene training is easy to evidence. With the Alice AI add-on, the AI Rota Assistant reads your live rota and flags understaffed days and Working Time Regulations issues.

Nothing. Posting jobs on RecruitPortal is free on every CompliChef account and every plan, including Multi Staff Kitchen at £39/month. There's no per-post fee.

Post a role in hospitality-specific categories, then manage applications, CV uploads, shortlisting and interview scheduling in one place. When you hire, onboard them into StaffPortal in one click. No agency fees, saving £1,500–£4,000 per hire compared with an agency.

Yes, with the Alice AI add-on (£19/month). The CV Analyser scores CVs against your job requirements and flags AI-generated applications, and the Social Post Writer writes recruitment posts for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and X.

Yes, on a Sunmi thermal printer that arrives pre-configured. Solo Labels sells you a Sunmi V3 handheld with a built-in printer for £310, yours to keep, then £30/month covers your own web dashboard, 500 labels delivered, stock management and temperature logging, with no other subscription needed. CompliChef Labels adds a printer to an ecosystem plan so labels pull directly from your KitchenPortal recipe and allergen data, with no double entry.

Natasha's Law (the Food Information (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2021) requires all pre-packed for direct sale (PPDS) food to show a full ingredients list with allergens emphasised. CompliChef prints sale labels in the PPDS format using the ingredient and allergen information you provide, so every item carries a compliant label.

Natasha's Law / PPDS sale labels, allergen labels, and use-by, freeze and defrost labels. Each label carries a unique QR code for traceability. Scan it to see what was made, by whom and when.

A £100 counter-top label printer for use-by and allergy labels (50×50mm and 80mm). It prints from the free Kitchen Portal app on your own iPhone, iPad or Android device, or from a Sunmi M3 handheld (£250). Labels are sold separately. Buy the Cloud Printer.

No. Solo Labels works completely standalone. The Sunmi V3 is £310 to buy with no deposit or onboarding fee, then £30/month for the dashboard and 500 labels. Cancel the monthly any time and the printer stays yours. Changed your mind? Return it unused within 14 days for a full refund. Every printer has a 12-month warranty.

Yes, there's a free trial. Card details are taken securely through Stripe when you sign up, but nothing is charged during the trial and you can cancel any time. Our team is also happy to walk you through a live demo if you'd prefer to see it in action first.

Signing up takes about five minutes: your details, a quick email check, your business information, then checkout. Your kitchen is live straight afterwards, and you can start logging checks before your next service. If you get stuck, a real person will help you get set up.

Nothing is charged during the free trial. After that you can cancel any time and keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. We don’t normally give part-month refunds for business subscriptions, but if you’ve been charged wrongly or twice, we’ll put it right. Hardware has its own terms, shown when you order.

Cancelling stops your plan renewing, and you keep access until the end of your paid period, so you have time to export your records. Your data stays yours: when you leave, we return it or securely delete it, whichever you choose, unless UK law requires us to keep something. Email privacy@complichef.co.uk to arrange it.
