"We've started using this, and I love it! It's been designed and developed by someone who has hands on experience of working in commercial kitchens and hospitality. The result is a system that is both easy to use and flexible enough to cover a broad range of requirements. All the food safety stuff is there, but loads more as well, including managing staff rotas, menus, custom checklists, and document storage. Excellent value for money."
"We just happened to stumble across CompliChef a few days before they launched their new app and thought, let's give these guys a go. Well, I'm SO pleased that we did. Right from the get-go the owners were fantastic — we made a few errors when first setting things up and they fixed things within the hour! After using the KitchenPortal for a few weeks, we looked into their Staff & HR app. There were a few things that didn't work for our business, so we sent a quick email. Within the hour we had a response with steps implemented and updated ready for use the very next day. This company go the extra mile and their communication is 10/10. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone."
"We have been using CompliChef for our kitchen compliance over the last four months, and the daily record logs have been truly invaluable. Our team absolutely loves the clear, effective structure of the record logs and, most importantly, the helpful reminders. Since implementing CompliChef, we have not missed a single daily task or log in four months. The system provides peace of mind and ensures we maintain consistent, high standards across the board. Highly recommend this for any professional kitchen looking to streamline their daily records!"
