The short version

If HACCP plan generation is the centre of your world, FoodDocs has genuinely strong tooling for it. If you're a UK cafe that needs allergens, deliveries and traceability WORKING at a price that doesn't move with the dollar, ProCafe includes at £19 what FoodDocs gates behind its $199 and $299 tiers — and adds the team layer FoodDocs doesn't try to cover.

Common questions

Does ProCafe include allergen management at the base price?

Yes. The UK 14-allergen matrix — including may-contain marking and a published, customer-facing version you can print or export — is part of the £19 plan. FoodDocs offers allergens from its $199/month tier.

Does ProCafe generate HACCP plans like FoodDocs?

No — and we're straight about that. ProCafe supports HACCP-based record keeping (checks, temperatures, corrective actions, traceability) and ships starter checklists, but FoodDocs' plan-generation tooling is its genuine strength. If that's your priority, FoodDocs deserves a look.

What currency does each product bill in?

FoodDocs publishes prices in US dollars (ex-VAT), so a UK buyer's cost moves with the exchange rate. ProCafe bills in pounds — £19 per month per site.
