Putting this into practice in New Zealand

Build your routines around the food control plan or national programme that applies to your New Zealand business. For cafes using MPI's Simply Safe & Suitable template, the selected cards and your registered activities determine the work. Keep the completed checks and supporting methods ready for your verifier.

MPI: using a Simply Safe & Suitable food control plan
  1. Capture delivery and food-process observations when those activities happen. A daily completion status does not replace the record for an individual cooking, cooling or reheating process.
  2. Review missed checks and what happened when something went wrong. Keep the action and supporting evidence accessible for the verifier, including changes made after the last verification.

What it does

Scheduled routines
Opening, midday and closing checks appear when they're due, so the team always knows the next thing to do. Add a fridge and choose how often it's checked — its checklists maintain themselves.
One-off jobs
Add ad-hoc tasks for the day — a delivery to check, a deep clean — alongside the routine.
Live completion
See what's done and what's still outstanding across the day, updated as the team works.
Corrective actions
When a check fails, raise a corrective action so the fix is recorded, not forgotten.
Every kind of answer
Yes / No / N/A, temperatures, notes, photos, dates and sign-offs — checklist items match the question being asked.
Missed-check escalation
Set an advance in-app reminder, a manager grace period and an optional later owner escalation for each site. Completing the check stops further missed-check escalation. Maintenance and training renewal dates also feed manager reminders.
Dishwasher rinse check
An optional starter records the commercial dishwasher's final rinse temperature and a wash-arm and filter check at opening. It is listed in setup but unticked until you want it, so a new site gets no extra daily check.
Chemical safety and SDS
Keep a chemical register with safety data sheets, storage, hazards, exposure controls and PPE. Link a site assessment and publish reviewed instructions for staff. Available on web and mobile with an internet connection.

How it works

  1. Build your checklists once

    Set up your checks and schedules to match how your kitchen runs — or start from the built-in food-safety checklists.

  2. The team works from them daily

    Checks show up on schedule and are completed on the phone.

  3. Nothing slips between shifts

    Outstanding work and corrective actions carry over, visible to the next shift.

A record of every shift

Completed checks build a time-stamped history you can filter and export — your own record of how each day was run.

  • Time-stamped completion per check
  • Outstanding work and corrective actions flagged
  • Export for your files or an inspection

One place to run food safety and operations.
