01

Never miss an opening or closing check

Opening checks appear ready for the morning crew before the doors unlock. Staff verify handwash basins, probe calibration, sanitised prep surfaces and pest-free areas with a single tap.

If the cafe opens and checks are still pending, the Today dashboard lights up with an urgent warning under Needs you now, so standards never slip during a busy morning rush.

  • ✓Pre-seeded with FSA Safer Food, Better Business standards
  • ✓One-tap completion with optional photo upload for physical evidence
  • ✓Logged against the signed-in staff member's profile with precise timestamps
  • ✓Dashboard notifications when opening checks are overdue
  • Full food safety & compliance suite →
  • HACCP temperature logs & SFBB diary →
  • Read-only EHO inspection mode →
02

Closing & deep-clean routines

Closing checklists ensure equipment is safely powered down, walk-in fridges are locked, waste is removed to outdoor bins and food is covered and dated.

Custom templates allow managers to schedule weekly deep cleans, ice machine descaling, extraction filter cleans and routine maintenance.

03

Plans and honest limits

Digital checklists are part of the Food Safety & Compliance module, included in the POS plan at £39/month and Multi-site at £59/month, or available as a standalone pack for £6/month on Order & Pay.

Staff need an active login or shared tablet pin to complete checks; checklists cannot be completed anonymously.

Questions

Straight answers, before you start.

Visit the help centre →Ask us on WhatsApp
Can I create custom checklists for our venue?+

Yes. Managers can build custom checklist templates in Food safety settings, set frequencies (opening, closing, daily or weekly), and mark specific tasks as mandatory.

How do managers know if opening checks are missed?+

The Today dashboard displays an urgent alert under 'Needs you now' whenever trading begins without completed opening checks.

Can staff attach photos to checklist items?+

Yes. Staff can add notes or attach photos to any check item to provide visual evidence of clean stations, sealed containers or equipment condition.

Do checklists work on any phone or tablet?+

Yes. Checklists open in the web browser on any iPhone, iPad, Android phone, tablet or counter laptop with zero installation required.
