Bakeries and Cafés
Food safety compliance for bakeries and cafés
A bakery's day starts at the oven before sunrise. A café's starts with the milk delivery and the pastry case. Pick your profile at signup, Bakery or Café / Coffee Shop, and the checklists and temperature points are already built for the one you actually run.
14-day free trial. No card required.
Built around your ovens, or your espresso machine
Bakery and café are two separate profiles at signup, not one blurred kitchen type. Whichever one you run, this is what the checks look like on day one.
The early production start, covered
Ovens preheated, scales checked, and the allergen-free zone cleared before the first batch goes in. Morning Production Start opens the day; Oven Calibration confirms the thermostat against an independent thermometer once a week.
Allergen segregation isn't left to memory
Gluten-free and nut-free zones, color-coded tools, and separate aprons between zones get their own daily check with Allergen Segregation Check, not just an answer when a customer asks.
On the café side: the milk fridge and the pastry case
Choose Café / Coffee Shop instead and the profile seeds its own set: Milk Fridge and Pastry Display Fridge temperature checks, a daily Milk Rotation (FIFO) log, and an Espresso Machine Clean record for the group head and steam wand.
Checked against a real limit, not a guess
Walk-in fridge 32 to 41°F. Walk-in freezer -10 to 0°F. Prep line cooler 32 to 41°F. Built on the FDA Food Code, whichever profile you pick.
One flat price, not a per-register fee
$59.99 a month, unlimited staff. Free for 14 days first, no card to start.

Everything the binder did, done better.
Four things every small kitchen has to get right. ChefComply makes each one quick, automatic, and easy to prove.
Daily checks done in two minutes
Your staff tap, they don't write.
Opening, closing, and cleaning checklists come pre-built for your kind of kitchen. Staff tap through them on a phone in about two minutes: big buttons, no typing, nothing to lose. Every check is stamped with who did it and exactly when.
Bad temperatures can't slip through
The app catches the cold fridge before the inspector does.
Log fridge, freezer, and hot-hold temps in seconds, in Fahrenheit or Celsius. If a reading is out of the safe range, the screen turns red on the spot and won't let the shift move on until someone records what they did about it. The fix is logged automatically as a corrective action: proof you caught it and handled it.
47°F
Safe range is 32-41°F. Add a corrective action to continue.
Hand the inspector a clean report
Any date range, one tap, ready to print.
When the inspector walks in, pull a professional PDF of every check, every temperature, and every corrective action for any stretch of time. Timestamped, attributed to real people, signed. No scrambling, no shoebox of receipts, just a report that proves you run a tight kitchen.

Your HACCP plan, sorted
Build it in the app or start from a ready-made template.
Walk through a guided builder that writes your HACCP plan as you answer plain-English questions, or download an inspector-grade starter template for your business type and fill in the blanks. Either way you end up with the documented plan inspectors expect, without paying a consultant.
HACCP plan
The practical questions, answered before you ask them.
Works on the phone you already own
Any phone or tablet, Apple or Android. Prefer an app? There's a native iPhone app too. Nothing to buy, nothing to install on a back-office computer.
Keeps working when the Wi-Fi doesn't
Walk-in coolers and basements kill signal. Staff keep logging checks offline, and everything syncs the moment you're back online. Nothing gets lost.
One shared tablet, every name on record
Mount a tablet on the line and give each person a 4-digit PIN. No logging in and out. Every check is still tied to the staff member who did it.
Managers know the moment something's off
Miss a check or log a bad temperature and the manager gets an email or push alert right away, so problems get fixed on the shift, not at the next audit.
One simple price
No per-user fees. No tiers to puzzle over. Start free for 14 days, no card needed, and only pay if it earns its keep.

No. ChefComply works with the phone or tablet you already have. Staff read temperatures from your existing thermometers and log them in the app. If you want to upgrade to Bluetooth probes later, you can, but it's not required.
Digital records are accepted on both sides of the Atlantic as long as they're timestamped, attributed to a named person, and can be produced on request. ChefComply's audit reports include all three and export as a PDF you can print or hand over on a screen. If your county or council has a specific format requirement, the report covers the same fields a paper log would.
About five minutes. Pick your kitchen type (restaurant, café, food truck, caterer, bakery, or care home) and we build the right checklists and temperature points for you. Invite your team and you're running.
It's built for the line, not the office. Big buttons for gloved fingers, no typing where a tap will do, and a number pad made for kitchen hands. If your staff can send a text, they can use ChefComply.
No problem. Staff keep logging checks and temperatures offline, and everything syncs the moment the signal comes back. Nothing is ever lost.
Not yet. ChefComply is built for a single kitchen, and one subscription covers one location. If you run several sites you'd need a separate account for each, which we know isn't ideal. Multi-location support is something we're working toward, so tell us what you need and we'll let you know when it lands.
Yes. ChefComply launches in Florida and the UK, and the starter plans cover the FSA's Safer Food Better Business approach alongside the FDA Food Code. Temperatures log in Celsius or Fahrenheit, whichever you set, and the audit report gives your environmental health officer the dated, named, signed records they ask for. Note that we bill in US dollars, so a UK card will be charged the exchange-rate equivalent.
