Put the biro down.
Handwritten day dots ask your team to remember the right answer mid-service, with one hand free. A printed label already knows it.
Safer
Allergens come off the dish in KitchenPortal, spelled the same way every time. Change an ingredient once and every label printed after that is right.
Faster
Pick the item, pick how long it keeps, print. The date, prep time and staff name go on automatically, and new starters get it right on their first shift.
Proof
Each label is logged with a QR code: what it was, who printed it, when, and when it runs out. When an EHO asks about date control, you can show them.
Every label type, step by step.

Every label your kitchen needs.
Prep, freezing, defrosting and counter sales all have different date rules. The app asks the right questions for each one.

All 14 major allergens for any menu item, in one tap, from KitchenPortal.

Full ingredients with allergens in bold, plus price, weight and energy.
Scan label
Scan a label's QR code to see when it was made, by whom, and if it's in date.

Defrost label

Built for Natasha's Law (PPDS)
Sale labels print the full ingredient list with allergens emphasised in bold, the format The Food Information (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2019 set out for pre-packed for direct sale food. The ingredients and allergens come from your KitchenPortal recipes, and you stay responsible for that information being complete and accurate.
Scan any label to check it
Every label carries a QR code. Scan it with the device camera to see the prep date, use-by date and who made it.

Solo LabelsCommon questions.
1 Are the sale labels in the Natasha's Law format?
Yes. Sale (PPDS) labels print the full ingredient list with allergens emphasised in bold, the format set out in The Food Information (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2019. The information comes from your KitchenPortal recipes, and you're responsible for keeping it complete and accurate.
2 Do I have to type allergens in?
No. When you pick a menu item its allergens are already there, taken from the recipe in KitchenPortal. Update the recipe and every label printed after that picks up the change.
3 What device does it run on?
A managed Sunmi V3, an Android handheld with a built-in thermal printer. It arrives set up and linked to your account, costs £310 and is yours to keep. There's also the £100 Sunmi Cloud Printer, a counter-top printer that prints from the Kitchen Portal app on your own phone or tablet, and the £250 Sunmi M3 handheld that pairs with it.
4 How do I get more labels?
On a CompliChef plan you order label rolls from your portal when you need them, from £1.50 a roll, dispatched within 2 working days. If you'd rather have labels included, Solo Labels bundles 500 labels a month into its £30 monthly price.
5 Can I use it across several sites?
Yes. On a multi-site plan, staff choose their site when they sign in, and each label is saved against that site's records. You'll want one device per kitchen.
6 What if I change my mind?
Return the printer unused within 14 days for a full £310 refund. You can cancel your plan at any time, and the printer stays yours.
Ready to stop hand-writing labels?
Your printer arrives set up and ready, so you can be printing within days.
