Digital food safety, HACCP diaries and temperature logs for UK venues

Café QR's food safety module digitises your due diligence in the style of the UK Food Standards Agency's Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB). Shift opening and closing checklists, fridge and freezer temperature logs with forced corrective actions on breaches, a daily diary with manager sign-off, and an inspection-ready report with your Natasha's Law 14-allergen matrix keep your café audit-ready every day.

One month free, no card needed. No contract.

  • Standard

    90 days of logs & inspection PDF

01

Digital checklists on shift

Set up opening, closing and weekly deep-clean routines in seconds. Staff tick off each check on their tablet or phone, record timestamps, and attach notes or photos for physical evidence.

Overdue checks surface immediately on the Today dashboard under Needs you now, so an opening check is never forgotten during the morning rush.

  • ✓Opening checks for basins, clean surfaces, probe calibration and separation
  • ✓Closing checks for food storage, hot-hold shutdown, waste disposal and security
  • ✓Custom checklist templates for weekly deep-cleans and equipment maintenance
  • ✓Overdue checklist alerts right on the Today dashboard
  • Digital opening & closing checklists →
  • The till and staff roles →
02

Temperature logs with forced corrective actions

Log temperatures for fridges, walk-in chillers, freezers, hot-hold stations and chilled delivery intake. Readings are automatically checked against UK statutory thresholds.

If a reading falls outside the safe range (such as a fridge above 8°C or hot-hold below 63°C), the system flags a breach and legally requires a recorded corrective action (such as adjusting the thermostat or discarding spoiled stock) before the log can be closed.

  • ✓UK legal limits enforced: fridges ≤8°C, freezers ≤-18°C, hot-hold ≥63°C, cooking ≥75°C
  • ✓Mandatory corrective action notes on every out-of-range breach
  • ✓Historical log with staff attribution and timestamps
  • ✓Unresolved breach warnings highlighted on the Today screen
03

Daily SFBB diary & manager sign-off

At the end of each shift, managers sign off the daily diary, mirroring the UK FSA Safer Food, Better Business pack. The diary automatically collates completed opening and closing checks, equipment temperature readings and unresolved breaches.

Managers can record shift notes and confirm due diligence with their name and a single tap.

04

Inspection mode & Natasha's Law allergen matrix

When an Environmental Health Officer (EHO) visits, hand them a dedicated, read-only inspection dashboard covering the last 30, 60 or 90 days. No paperwork, lever-arch binders or lost clipboards.

The inspection view includes an interactive and print-ready matrix of the 14 EU regulated allergens across all active menu dishes, fulfilling Natasha's Law requirements in one glance.

Plans and honest limits

Food safety & compliance is included in the POS plan at £39 per venue a month and Multi-site at £59 a month, or available as a standalone pack for £6 per venue a month on Order & Pay. Taken with Stock and recipes and Insights, it is part of the Profit & Compliance deal at £19 a month, which adds missed checks and temperature breaches to a Monday email.

Temperature logs are manually recorded or input from digital probes; Bluetooth probe telemetry is not connected yet. Physical inspection exports format cleanly using the browser's native print and PDF dialog.

Questions

Straight answers, before you start.

Visit the help centre →Ask us on WhatsApp
Does this comply with the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) format?+

Yes. The daily diary, opening checks, closing checks and temperature thresholds are structured directly around the FSA's Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB) guidance used across UK cafés and restaurants.

Can I customise checklist templates for our own venue?+

Yes. Managers can add, edit or reorder checklist items, set frequencies (opening, closing, daily or weekly), and define required items in Food safety settings.

What happens if a fridge or hot-hold temperature is out of range?+

The system flags the reading as a breach in red and legally requires a corrective action (for example: moved stock to walk-in, thermostat adjusted) before saving. Unresolved breaches appear on the Today dashboard.

How do I show our compliance records to an EHO inspector?+

Open Inspection mode under Safety on any tablet or phone, or tap Print / Save as PDF to print a clean 90-day summary with checks, temperatures, corrective actions and the 14-allergen matrix.
