Problems
A problem stays on screen until it’s sorted.
Inspectors don’t expect a perfect month. They want to see what you did about the bad day.
- A warm fridge can’t be ignoredA red reading needs a note and stays at the top of the screen until it’s sorted.
- Sort it in two tapsPick a reason, re-check, done. The record shows who sorted it and when.
- A diary for the restPests, repairs, visits and sickness, with how long each has been open.

Reminders and the assistant
A nudge when something’s missed. An answer when you’re not sure.
- A nudge, not a nagA reminder at closing time only if something’s still blank. Never on a day off.
- Ask anything“How long can rice sit out?” Plain answers from the official guidance, and where in the app to do it.
- Works offlineEverything saves on the phone first. Set up takes about two minutes.

How do I cool rice safely?
Cool it fast: spread it thin, or stand the pan in cold water, and get it below 8°C within 90 minutes. Then fridge it and use within 24 hours. Rice left warm can grow Bacillus cereus, which reheating won't kill.
Log it on Today → Food temperatures → Cooled, and it shows against the 90-minute rule.

The paperwork

- Written for your kitchenThe procedures inspectors ask for, with your fridges and your cleaning products already in them.
- Read, tick, signChange any wording, mark what doesn’t apply, and sign the lot.
- Prints with the reportSo the inspector sees your system and your records together.

Straight up
What it doesn’t do.
- Not approved by the FSA. No app is. Your rating is decided by the inspection.
- The allergen scan is a draft. You check every dish. You stay in charge of your allergens.
- No app store yet. It installs from the browser: Add to Home Screen on iPhone or Android.
- No wireless sensors. You type what your thermometer says, which is what the inspector wants to see anyway.
- One kitchen per account. More than one? Email us.
