Which one do I need?

Just labels, or the whole kitchen?

Most kitchens start with labels because that's what the EHO looks at first. Solo Labels gives you exactly that — and nothing you don't need yet.

You are here

Solo Labels

The label printer on its own. You type the item, it prints a compliant label. Everything lives on the device and in a simple web dashboard — no menu database to build, no setup weekend.

£30/month per printer · nothing else required
The full system

Labels + CompliChef ecosystem

Labels pulled automatically from your KitchenPortal recipes — allergens filled in for you, no typing, no chance of the wrong allergen on the wrong dish. Plus temperature logs, checklists and EHO packs.

£30/month + ecosystem plan from £39/month · See CompliChef Labels →
Actual labels, actual printer

This is what comes out

No mockups. These were printed on a Solo Labels device this morning.

Every label a UK kitchen has to produce

Thermal print on 50 mm and 80 mm food-safe label stock — no ink, no ribbon, no smudging in a wet kitchen. Each label carries who printed it, when, and a QR code for traceability.

  • Allergen warnings with allergens emphasised in bold
  • Use-by dates calculated from the prep date
  • Frozen & defrosted labels with the 24-hour rule printed on
  • Storage location, prepared-by name and print timestamp
Printed CompliChef labels — frozen white bread, defrosted white bread, chocolate brownie allergen warning and BBQ sauce use-by label

Type it, tap it, tear it off

The device remembers what you print most, so the items your kitchen uses every day are one tap away. New item? Type the name once and it's in the list for next time.

  • Recently-used items surface automatically
  • Big touch targets — designed for gloved, wet hands
  • Prepared-by name filled in from whoever is signed in

Label types

Five labels, one device

Pick the label type, fill in the item, print. Each one is laid out to satisfy a different part of the food safety regs.

Use-by

Use-by date

Item, use-by date and storage location. The everyday workhorse label for prepped and decanted stock.

Allergen

Allergen warning

Full ingredient list with the 14 major allergens emphasised in bold — the format Natasha's Law expects.

Freeze

Frozen

Date frozen, use-by, freezer location, plus the "once defrosted, use within 24h" instruction printed on.

Defrost

Defrosted

Date defrosted and the 24-hour use-by, with "do not refreeze" so nobody has to remember the rule.

Sale

Sale / PPDS

Pre-Packed for Direct Sale labels for anything you pack and sell on site — ingredients, allergens, use-by.

Included on the device

The same handheld does your temperatures

Your printer is a full Android handheld, so it doubles as the device your team records fridge, freezer and food temperatures on — pair a Bluetooth probe or sensor and the reading fills itself in.

🛒 Need the hardware? Bluetooth probes and fridge sensors can be bought directly in your portal under Kitchen Devices — they pair with the handheld straight away.

Fridge & freezer checks, without the clipboard

Pair Inkbird Bluetooth sensors and the handheld reads every fridge and freezer in range. Each unit has its own safe range, so an out-of-spec reading is obvious immediately.

  • Read all sensors in one tap
  • Per-unit safe ranges, named by location
  • Readings timestamped and stored automatically

Probe a dish, record the reading

Connect an Inkbird probe over Bluetooth and the live temperature drops straight into the record — no squinting at a display and writing it on a sheet. Below 75 °C, the device asks for a corrective action before it will accept the reading.

  • Live probe reading, or type it manually
  • Corrective action prompted when a reading fails
  • Signed against the member of staff who took it

Getting started

Printing by the end of the week

No installer visit, no training day. It arrives working.

STEP 01

Order online

Choose how many printers you need, pay the first month plus the refundable deposit, and you're done — about two minutes.

STEP 02

We configure it

Your device is enrolled, loaded with the CompliChef app, linked to your account and tested before it's boxed.

STEP 03

Unbox & connect

Plug it in, join your kitchen Wi-Fi, sign in. Your first roll of labels is already loaded in the printer.

STEP 04

Print

Fresh label rolls are dispatched with your renewal each month, so you're never caught short mid-service.

If something goes wrong

Support from the device itself

Raise a ticket without leaving the kitchen — the handheld has support built in, so whoever hits the problem can report it there and then, with the device details attached automatically.

  • Raise a ticket straight from the handheld
  • Devices are managed remotely — we can push fixes and updates
  • Faulty hardware swapped out, not repaired on site

Questions

Before you order

No. That's the whole point of Solo Labels — it stands on its own for £30/month per printer. If you later want allergens pulled automatically from your recipes, temperature logs across sites and EHO inspection packs, you can add a CompliChef ecosystem plan at any time and your printer joins it.

It's charged when you order and held for the length of your rental — it covers the hardware, not your subscription, so it isn't a joining fee. How much comes back depends on how long you've had the device when you return it:

When you return itYou get back
Under 6 months — good working order, within 14 daysFull £200
6 months or more — good working order, within 14 days£100 (£100 retained for wear)
Not returned within 14 days of cancellingNothing — full £200 retained
Returned damaged beyond fair wear and tearPartial or none, at our discretion

Refunds go back to your original payment method within 7 business days of us receiving and inspecting the device. The £100 retained after 6 months covers refurbishment — kitchen use is hard on hardware. Remember to send the charging cable back with it.

1,500 labels covers the large majority of single kitchens. If you're consistently going over, the usual answer is a second printer — busy sites tend to want one in the prep kitchen and one on the line anyway. You can run up to 8 on a single account. Get in touch and we'll look at your volumes with you.
Sale labels print the full ingredient list with allergens emphasised in bold, which is the format required by The Food Information (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2019 for Pre-Packed for Direct Sale food. On the Solo plan you enter the ingredients for each item yourself; on the ecosystem plan they come straight from your recipe data, which removes the typing and the risk of getting it wrong.
No minimum term. It's billed monthly and you can cancel whenever you like — return the device and your deposit comes back.
The temperature features are on the device either way — you can type readings in manually at no extra cost. If you'd rather the readings filled themselves in, Bluetooth probes and fridge sensors can be bought directly in your portal under Kitchen Devices, so you don't have to work out which models are compatible — everything listed there pairs with the handheld. Ask us if you're not sure what you need.
