What issues are you facing right now? "Ensuring all sites comply with regulations for food safety in restaurants"
My top priority is “Ensuring the team are always up to date with HACCP compliance”
What is HACCP and why is it important?
HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point. It’s a European food safety regulation that also applies to most food services business in the UK.
A hazard is classified as anything that is dangerous, and a food hazard is something that could make food unsafe or unfit to eat. Whilst a fully-fledged HACCP system is not mandatory, you must have solid food safety management procedures in place and they should be based on HACCP principles.
These principles state that you must identify potential risks in your business and make sure they are reduced or removed, ensure the system is being followed and a plan of action in case things go wrong.
The dangers of not having procedures for food safety in restaurants
If you don’t have a reliable food safety procedure in place, you are risking outbreaks of E. Coli, salmonella, and norovirus at your restaurant. And bad news travels fast, meaning your brand could end up in national headlines, or worse, one of guests could become seriously ill.
Incidents like these could result in closure, lost revenue, serious damage to your reputation and potentially ruin your business.
Which technology is best for ensuring HACCP compliance?
A proactive approach to preventing all of this is fundamental. However, paper-based procedures for food safety in restaurants are inefficient and could lead to mistakes and grave consequences, not to mention taking up a huge amount of your team’s time. So, technology is undoubtedly your best asset when it comes to preventing potentially serious consequences for your guests, and your business.
