Just labels, or the whole kitchen?
Most kitchens start with labels because that's what the EHO looks at first. Solo Labels gives you exactly that — and nothing you don't need yet.
Solo Labels
The label printer on its own. You type the item, it prints a label in the required PPDS format. Everything lives on the device and in a simple web dashboard — no menu database to build, no setup weekend.
Labels + CompliChef ecosystem
Labels pulled automatically from your KitchenPortal recipes — allergens filled in for you, no typing, reducing the risk of transcription errors at the label stage. Plus temperature logs, checklists and EHO packs.
This is what comes out
No mockups. These were printed on a Solo Labels device this morning.
Every label a UK kitchen has to produce
Thermal print on 50 mm and 80 mm food-safe label stock — no ink, no ribbon, no smudging in a wet kitchen. Each label carries who printed it, when, and a QR code for traceability.
- Allergen warnings with allergens emphasised in bold
- Use-by dates calculated from the prep date
- Frozen & defrosted labels with the 24-hour rule printed on
- Storage location, prepared-by name and print timestamp
Type it, tap it, tear it off
The device remembers what you print most, so the items your kitchen uses every day are one tap away. New item? Type the name once and it's in the list for next time.
- Recently-used items surface automatically
- Big touch targets — designed for gloved, wet hands
- Prepared-by name filled in from whoever is signed in
Five labels, one device
Pick the label type, fill in the item, print. Each one is laid out to satisfy a different part of the food safety regs.
Use-by date
Item, use-by date and storage location. The everyday workhorse label for prepped and decanted stock.
Allergen warning
Full ingredient list with the 14 major allergens emphasised in bold — the format Natasha's Law expects.
Frozen
Date frozen, use-by, freezer location, plus the "once defrosted, use within 24h" instruction printed on.
Defrosted
Date defrosted and the 24-hour use-by, with "do not refreeze" so nobody has to remember the rule.
Sale / PPDS
Pre-Packed for Direct Sale labels for anything you pack and sell on site — ingredients, allergens, use-by.
The same handheld does your temperatures
Your printer is a full Android handheld, so it doubles as the device your team records fridge, freezer and food temperatures on — pair a Bluetooth probe or sensor and the reading fills itself in.
Fridge & freezer checks, without the clipboard
Pair Inkbird Bluetooth sensors and the handheld reads every fridge and freezer in range. Each unit has its own safe range, so an out-of-spec reading is obvious immediately.
- Read all sensors in one tap
- Per-unit safe ranges, named by location
- Readings timestamped and stored automatically
Probe a dish, record the reading
Connect an Inkbird probe over Bluetooth and the live temperature drops straight into the record — no squinting at a display and writing it on a sheet. Below 75 °C, the device asks for a corrective action before it will accept the reading.
- Live probe reading, or type it manually
- Corrective action prompted when a reading fails
- Signed against the member of staff who took it
£310 for the printer. £30 a month.
You buy the printer once and own it. The £30 a month keeps your labels coming and your dashboard running, and you can stop it whenever you like without sending anything back. No ecosystem plan required.
