The paper
Gaps start at close. Not during service.
The SFBB pack is cheap and familiar. After a long service, opening checks, temps, and deliveries get written up from memory. Clipboards go missing. Spreadsheets have no timestamps and no name on the line.
We’ve always done the diary at close. That habit is why records are late, lost between shifts, or unreadable when you need them.
The visit is unannounced. You are not a bad operator because the food is good. You are exposed if the pack was filled in at 11pm, left in the office, or cannot be read.
Inspectors need records that are complete, dated, and accessible. A searchable audit trail — opening checks, temperatures, manager sign-off, the 4-weekly SFBB review — is easier to review than last night’s catch-up.
What the EHO actually needs to see
During the shift
Same SFBB tasks your team already owes. Guided, timestamped, with alerts when skipped.
This is not a new job, and there is no app to install. Staff complete opening checks, temps, and deliveries on a kitchen tablet or phone while service is running. Managers see gaps during the shift, not after close.

Staff log opening checks, temps, and deliveries on a phone or kitchen tablet while the shift is running.
Managers resolve alerts, sign off records, and keep the 4-weekly SFBB review in one place.
Questions
The same checks. A record you can hand over.
