Sample data

Running more than one kitchen? You can't be in every one.

When you have several sites, the food safety records are spread across several teams. Finding out whether the fridges were checked in one place, or whether the weekly clean was done in another, usually means a phone call or a visit. Problems tend to surface late, sometimes on the day of an inspection.

SmartChef Group gives owners, operations managers and head office one view of every site. Each kitchen keeps recording on SmartChef as it does now. The dashboard reads those records, compares the sites and shows you where to look.

What the group dashboard does

Screens below show sample data.

SmartChef Group overview showing four sites with their status, records, checks within limits and the issues that need attention

Every site at a glance

The overview shows how the whole group is doing for the period you pick. Each site gets a simple status, so you can see straight away which ones need a look.

  • Good, Watch or Attention for each site
  • Records, checks within limits and staff recording
  • The most urgent issues listed first, each linked to the record

Compare sites side by side

Line your sites up in columns and compare what was recorded against what should have been, based on each site's own equipment, cleaning schedules and opening days.

  • Fridge and freezer readings against twice a day
  • Cleaning tasks completed against tasks due
  • Best and worst marked on each row
  • Day by day view and CSV export

  • Filter by site
  • What needs doing now, and what is going well
  • One click to open the record

Frequently asked questions

SmartChef Group is a dashboard for businesses with more than one site. It puts the food safety records from all your kitchens in one place, so an owner, operations manager or head office can see how every site is doing, compare them side by side and spot what is slipping.

The group dashboard is included free. Each site uses SmartChef as normal on its own plan, and the dashboard that brings them together costs nothing extra. If you run several sites, get in touch and we will put together a quote for the sites themselves.

Yes. Each site keeps its own SmartChef staff and logins, and the team in each kitchen keeps recording checks exactly as they do today. Nothing changes for them.

No. The group dashboard is read only for records. You can open any record in full, including signatures, but records can only be created or changed by the team at the site.

It looks at what each site should have recorded, based on that site's own equipment, cleaning schedules, probes and opening days. It flags things like fridges and freezers not checked twice a day, missed daily cleans, an overdue weekly clean, no monthly probe calibration check, and any reading, delivery, cooking or holding temperature outside its limits. Each issue links to the record.

Yes. Every Monday morning each person with access gets an email summarising the past week across all sites: what needs attention, what is worth a look and what is going well. Anyone can switch it off from their own menu.

Yes. Choose today, yesterday, the last 7 or 30 days, this month, last month or your own dates, up to three months at a time. The comparison can be downloaded as a CSV file for your own reports.

The people you choose. Owners see every site and can change some settings. Viewers see every site but change nothing. We add the people who need access when we set your group up.

Contact us and tell us which sites you would like to bring together. We link your sites into one group and add the people who need access. It is usually done the same day, and there is nothing for your kitchen teams to install or learn.

Yes. The group dashboard runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer, so you can check on your sites from wherever you are.
