Why CompliChef Labels?

Paper day dots and generic
printers can't do this

Most food businesses use paper stickers written by hand, or a standalone label printer with no link to their compliance records. Here's what that's missing.

✏️
Paper day dots
  • Handwritten — prone to mistakes
  • No allergen information at all
  • No Natasha's Law compliance
  • No traceability record or audit trail
  • Can't prove due diligence to an EHO
🖨️
Generic label printers
  • Separate software — no compliance link
  • Allergens typed in manually each time
  • No connection to your recipe database
  • You manage all hardware and updates
  • If ingredients change, labels may lag
CompliChef Labels
