Nick — CompliChef's chef founder — in a professional UK kitchen
The Human Behind CompliChef

Built by a chef —
not a bot

N
Nick
Founder, Developer & Head Chef

I'm Nick. I got tired of food safety paperwork that looked like it hadn't changed since the 1990s. I'd studied IT but chose the kitchen — and that mix of food safety and tech never left me. So I built the system I always wished I'd had: first for my own kitchen, now for food businesses across the UK.

No faceless startup. No generic software built by people who've never worked a service. Just a real chef who's sat through the EHO inspections — building the tools that make it quicker and clearer for your team to run their own compliance and walk in inspection-ready. Five consecutive 5-star hygiene ratings in my own kitchens later, I'd like to think it shows.

FAQ

Questions we get
all the time

Is CompliChef suitable for a small café or single kitchen?

Absolutely. Start with the Multi-Staff Kitchen plan at £39/month — one site, unlimited staff. You get full access to KitchenPortal for digital food safety logs and compliance records, plus StaffPortal for rotas, digital contracts and training records. Growing to several sites? Professional Kitchen covers up to 5 locations at £160/month.

How does CompliChef help during an EHO inspection?

Every record in CompliChef is timestamped and stored securely in the cloud. When an EHO officer arrives, you generate a secure one-time access code in seconds — giving them read-only access to your compliance records without handing over your login. No scrambling for paper files, no missing records.

Is there a free trial? Do I need a credit card?

Yes. Card details are taken securely through Stripe when you sign up, but nothing is charged during the trial and you can cancel any time. Sign up and explore the full platform before committing to a plan. Our team is also happy to walk you through a live demo if you'd prefer to see it in action first.

Does CompliChef replace our paper food safety records?

That's exactly what it's built for. CompliChef replaces all your paper HACCP records, temperature logs, cleaning schedules, and checklists with a digital system that's faster to complete, easier to audit, and always ready for inspection. The log books go in the bin.

Can CompliChef print physical food labels — allergen labels, use-by stickers?

Yes, on a Sunmi thermal printer that arrives pre-configured. There are two ways to get one. Solo Labels sells you a Sunmi V3 handheld with a built-in printer for £310 — yours to keep — then £30/month covers your own web dashboard, 500 labels delivered, stock management and temperature logging, with no other subscription needed. Cancel the monthly whenever you like and the printer stays in your kitchen. CompliChef Labels adds a printer to an ecosystem plan so labels pull directly from your KitchenPortal recipe and allergen data — no double entry and no risk of a mismatched label. Both print allergen, use-by, freeze, defrost and PPDS sale labels in the format Natasha's Law requires — using the ingredient and allergen information you provide. You can also buy a Sunmi Cloud Printer (£100) or a Sunmi M3 handheld (£250) outright.

Ready to replace paper records
and keep your evidence inspection-ready?

Join UK food businesses using CompliChef to manage compliance records, staff, and recruitment from one platform — built for kitchens, not generic businesses.

CompliChef is a record-keeping and management platform. It supports your food-safety management system and helps you keep the evidence an inspector asks for — it doesn't replace your own procedures, training or checks, and it can't guarantee an inspection outcome. Labels print from the ingredient and allergen information you enter, and you remain responsible for that being complete and accurate.
