Laura Todd
A brand-new Laura Todd cookie franchise in London opened with CompliChef running its food safety from day one — and passed its first EHO inspection with a five-star rating.
A new franchise, built to be compliant from day one
Laura Todd — the fine-cookie brand baking since 1935 — opened a brand-new franchise site in London in April 2026. Ludwig and his team spent several busy months planning and fitting out the shop before opening the doors to customers.
Compliance in place from the first day of trading
Rather than leave food safety until later, Ludwig had CompliChef running from the moment the site went live. From allergen tracking to daily opening checks, the day-to-day compliance was handled digitally and kept in one place — ready to show at any time, not scattered across paper folders.
Five stars, first time
That groundwork paid off at the shop’s very first EHO (Environmental Health Officer) inspection. Ludwig showed the officer the CompliChef records and the systems the team already had in place — and the site walked away with a five-star food hygiene rating.
What’s next
With the first London site now running smoothly, Ludwig is already looking ahead to expanding the Laura Todd franchise further.
