Food safety and operations in Ireland

Build the working day around your Irish food-safety system. FSAI's Safe Catering pack separates delivery, refrigeration, cooking and cooling, hot display, hygiene and staff records. Choose the activities your cafe actually carries out, then keep the observations and decisions together for your environmental health officer.

Built for cafes, coffee shops, bakeries, delis, takeaways and food shops.

Know your recipe costs. Keep stock changes under control.

Bring ingredient costs, deliveries, stock use and sales into the same review process, with clear sources behind the numbers.

Pro and Operations

Practical cost and stock controls for one location or several.

  • Recipe costs, yields and GP

    Review ingredient costs, unit conversions, batch yields and portions. Publish a fixed cost version and see which costs are still missing.

    How it works and what is included

    Review NET ingredient costs, explicit unit conversions, batch yields, portions and fixed subrecipes. Publish immutable cost versions, preview supplier-cost changes and calculate sales-weighted GP. Missing costs remain unknown; no tax treatment or actual stock valuation is inferred.

  • Invoice differences and supplier credits

    Compare manually reviewed invoices with orders and deliveries. Record decisions and track requested, partial and completed credits.

    How it works and what is included

    Compare manually reviewed invoice details with purchase orders and selected deliveries. Review quantity and price differences, record decisions and track partial supplier credits. Export an order CSV for manual handoff; approval never sends an order or makes a payment.

  • Reviewed stock use and count differences

    Declare recipe portions, choose rounding and confirm stock use. Link waste once and compare two completed stocktakes.

    How it works and what is included

    Preview manual recipe portions, confirm rounding and current balances, then explicitly post stock usage. Link waste once and compare two completed stocktakes using permanent ledger history. Operations can review mapped POS sale quantities before posting. Refunds never automatically restock ingredients; missing evidence stays unknown.

  • Stock transfers between locations

    Review the items and quantities, dispatch from the source and record partial or full arrivals. See what is still in transit.

    How it works and what is included

    Prepare explicit item and unit mappings for both locations. Dispatch from the source and record partial or full receipts at the destination with permanent linked stock movements. Each location sees only its permitted transfer facts, without the other location’s private balances or costs.

Operations adds connected sales

Import Square product records, then explicitly review mapped sales before recording ingredient use. Owners can compare their permitted locations.

  • Square products linked to recipes

    Import product quantities and itemised returns with read-only access. Review prospective recipe mappings without rewriting earlier sales or deducting stock.

    How it works and what is included

    An owner explicitly connects Square with product-order read permission and maps its location. Import available product quantities, modifiers and itemized returns, then pin prospective recipe mappings. Net sales exclude known tax and allocated service charges. Incomplete or late source evidence is labelled; an import never deducts stock.

  • A private financial view for owners

    Compare imported net sales, pinned recipe costs and approved labour. Keep currencies separate and see coverage, unknowns and sales-weighted GP.

    How it works and what is included

    Connect imported net product sales, pinned recipe costs and current approved labour in an explainable scorecard. Keep currencies separate, weight group margins by sales and retain unknown values. Contribution excludes employer on-costs, overheads and actual stock valuation; it is not an accounting profit or statutory payroll calculation.

Gross profit uses reviewed net recipe costs and selling prices. The financial scorecard shows sales less recipe costs and approved labour, excluding overheads, employer on-costs and actual stock valuation. Missing evidence stays unknown.

Core keeps daily checks, records, stock requests and team messaging.

Nº 01 · Food Safety & Compliance

Your records are already organised when someone asks for them.

Every check, reading and corrective action is kept in a tidy, time-stamped history — with allergens, deliveries and batch tracing alongside. Filter by site and date, then export a clean record pack in seconds, for your own files or the moment an inspector asks.

Nº 02 · Traceability & Recall

From the back door to the plate, every step on record.

Deliveries, refusals, batches and lot codes build the trail as the day runs, so a recall search takes minutes, not an afternoon.

Every delivery checked in builds the trail from the back door.

Nº 03 · Team & Operations

Planned against actual, with clear clock-in controls.

Staff clock in and out on their own phone from the Today screen. Each entry is matched to their published shift, so the timesheet shows planned against worked per person, who is in right now and who forgot to clock out. Owners and managers hear when a shift has started and nobody has clocked in. Basic clock-in records the tap time. In Pro and Operations, owners can enable a foreground venue-location check or clock-in photo on supported devices. There is no background location tracking.

Nº 04 · Waste & menu board

See what goes in the bin and what has sold out, before it costs you.

Staff log waste from the phone in ten seconds, with or without signal: what, why and roughly how much, with a cost if they know it. The week's total by reason and by item shows where money goes. The menu board marks a dish sold out or running low, and every phone, the web and the kitchen tablet show the same board.

Nº 06 · Switching from another app

Bring your records with you.

Export a spreadsheet from Trail, FoodDocs, Leafe or your own file. Fridges, people, menu items and suppliers become your set-up in one go. Past temperature, check and delivery records stay with you as imported records in History and in the inspection pack, marked with the app they came from. During your trial we import the files for you.

Set up your site in Ireland

Start with the Safe Catering sections that match your operation, then document your own suppliers, preparation steps, responsible people and monitoring arrangements.

FSAI: Safe Catering pack
Build the daily routine

Separate the opening walk-through from process checks. A clean preparation area at opening does not record the temperature of a lunch delivery or a batch cooled later in the day.

Connect methods and evidence

Link the written method to the relevant delivery, temperature or hygiene routine. Keep changes to your menu or process visible in the next procedure review.

Prepare for a review

Prepare an inspection export for the requested site and dates, with the supporting procedures and action records. Electronic records support the system; they do not certify a HACCP plan.

In their own words

Nº 01 · Cafe VeraEdinburgh

ProCafe is the first thing that actually stuck with my team. Daily checks are right there on their phones every morning, temperatures take seconds, and nothing gets lost between shifts. When the EHO turned up, I had a clean, time-stamped record ready in minutes — not a folder to dig through.

Nº 02 · Mørn CoffeeEdinburgh

The rota is the part I use most — I plan the week once and everyone can see their shifts on their phone. And the records side means every check and temperature is logged properly, so it’s all there when I need it.
