The HACCP book always loses to the morning rush

Running a café means you're the barista, the manager and the compliance officer - often all before 9am. The HACCP book gets filled in when there's a lull, and on busy mornings there isn't one. Fridge checks slip, delivery dockets pile up, and then the EHO calls unannounced and you're flicking through a stained copybook hoping nothing's been missed.

SmartChef puts those checks on your phone, reminds you before anything slips, and keeps every record organised and inspection-ready - no filing cabinet, no Sunday-night catch-up sessions.

How SmartChef fits your café

Log deliveries in seconds

Snap a photo of the label and SmartChef pulls the supplier, batch number and expiry date automatically. Your delivery records fill themselves in while the bread's still warm.

Reminders that survive the rush

Friendly alerts tell you and your staff what's due, so fridge and probe checks happen even on the mornings when everything lands at once.

Inspection-ready, always

Every record the EHO expects to see - deliveries, equipment temperatures, cleaning - organised and one tap away, whether they give you notice or not.

"The delivery photo feature has been a game-changer, and my staff spend far less time on paperwork now. It's quick, it's simple, and everything just works."

— Rachel Adams, Rachel's Café, Glin

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Digital HACCP records are fully acceptable - what matters is that your records are complete, accurate and available. SmartChef covers the records Environmental Health Officers expect to see, and you can show them on any device during an inspection.

SmartChef is designed for chefs, not IT people - if they can take a photo, they can use it. And setup and training are included free: we'll configure your café's fridges, checks and suppliers for you, and show your team how it works.

No. SmartChef runs on the phones and tablets you already have. If you'd like a shared device for the counter, a dedicated tablet is available for €150, and it also works with ETI Bluetooth thermometers if you want temperatures filled in automatically.

Not long - we do the setup for you, free, and most cafés are logging records the same day they sign up.
