School kitchens carry one of the highest levels of food safety responsibility — serving hundreds of children every day, many with serious allergies. CompliChef gives school catering teams the digital tools to maintain rigorous compliance, manage dietary requirements, and keep inspection-ready records.
Sound familiar? These are the compliance headaches we hear about every week from schools businesses across the UK.
Schools have a strict duty of care around allergens. One mistake can have serious consequences. Accurate, accessible allergen records are not optional — they are essential.
Food safety is reviewed as part of school inspections. Catering teams need comprehensive, organised records that demonstrate consistent compliance standards.
Religious requirements, medical conditions, intolerances, and lifestyle choices — school kitchens often manage more individual dietary needs than any other setting.
Staff cover changes between term time and holidays. Compliance records and procedures need to be consistent regardless of who is in the kitchen that day.
Schools are increasingly expected to demonstrate digital record-keeping. Paper logs are hard to audit, easy to falsify, and do not satisfy modern inspection standards.
Food hygiene and allergen training must be current and documented. Tracking training for a full catering team manually is time-consuming and error-prone.
Practical tools built around real kitchen life — not clipboards, not spreadsheets, not guesswork.
Maintain precise allergen records for every dish. Staff can check allergen information instantly — essential when a child has a serious allergy and needs a quick, accurate answer.
Digital HACCP documentation tailored to school catering. Hazard analysis, critical control points, and corrective actions — all recorded and stored automatically.
Opening checks, temperature monitoring, cooking records, and cleaning schedules — digital checklists designed for busy school kitchen service.
Digital records for all cold storage, hot-hold, and cooking temperatures. Timestamped logs that satisfy EHO inspectors and demonstrate consistent safe practice.
Food hygiene and allergen training modules for all catering staff. Track completion, renewals, and training history for every individual on the team.
Whether it is an EHO visit or a local authority audit, CompliChef records are organised, timestamped, and ready to present. No last-minute searching through paper files.
