Getting started

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.

Ireland: before you start

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.

  1. 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.
  2. Use the Safe Catering record areas as a review list: deliveries, refrigeration, cooking/cooling/reheating, hot display and hygiene. Configure only the checks relevant to your menu and service.
  3. At closing, review missed checks and corrective actions with the next shift. Keep the observation, affected food and decision together, so an HSE visit can follow what happened rather than just see completed boxes.

Create your account

  1. Go to the sign-up page and enter your organisation name, email and a password.
  2. Open the verification email and confirm your address.
  3. Sign in — you're now the owner of your organisation.
New sign-ups start on a 14-day free trial — no card required.

Run guided setup

Owners and managers can open Quick start directly below or from the top of Setup. It guides you through a location, equipment and a starter routine. If you already added a location without checks, you can continue its setup.

  1. Add your location, or continue the location you already created.
  2. Choose the starter routine that fits your business, then review the equipment, limits and times for your actual operation.
  3. Finish setup and record a real measurement for the equipment you added, or open Today for the available checks. Example data does not count as a saved business record.

Save and find your first real check

Daily checks appear on Today. Record the actual result on the web or mobile app, add any required corrective action and check that the record is saved. You can find completed work in Records and use Reports for exports.

Invite your team when you're ready

Invite managers, supervisors and staff by email. Each person sets their own password when they accept. You can record your own first check before inviting anyone else.
