System Hub
Local authority pages

Digital SFBB and food safety software for UK restaurants, by city

Officers are local. The pack is national. These pages name the council (or shared service), the FSA register count, and how kitchens in that city actually run. If two pages would read the same after you swapped the city name, we do not publish the second one.

Last reviewed: . Reviewed by Nitin Patel. Drafts are prepared with AI assistance and checked by him before publication. Register counts from FSA open data.

Why have a separate page for each city?

A restaurant in Glasgow is not on Safer Food, Better Business. A restaurant in Cardiff is inspected by Shared Regulatory Services, not a city food office, and must display its rating. A restaurant in London is inspected by the borough, not by “London Council”. Those facts change the page. A headline that only inserts the city name does not.

System Hub Food Safety is timestamped checks during the shift, from £5/week after a 14-day trial. It is not EHO approved, FSA endorsed, or Primary Authority. Digital records are acceptable when they are complete, dated, and accessible.

Register counts are all food businesses on the FSA list, not restaurants only. Dates are on each city page.

What we will not generate

We will not add a town because a keyword tool listed it. A new city needs a real local-authority food page, a sourced register count, and kitchen copy that would break if you pasted in another place name. Scotland stays on CookSafe. Northern Ireland stays on Safe Catering. We do not fake a LocalBusiness address in every city — Oriel Technology Ltd is in Milton Keynes.

National guides

Which pack does each nation's officer expect?

A city page that only swaps the place name is a page we refuse to publish. The officer is employed by a council, not by “the UK”. England and Wales kitchens are usually on Safer Food, Better Business. Scotland is CookSafe. Northern Ireland is Safe Catering.

The register count on each page is dated and comes from FSA open data, and it counts every food business on that register, not restaurants alone. London is not one authority: a site in Camden and a site in Westminster are two inspections and two diaries.

We do not invent a System Hub office in each city. Oriel Technology Ltd is in Milton Keynes. We do not inspect, and we do not claim a council’s endorsement.

If a city does not yet have a page, it is because we do not yet have the authority’s own food page, a sourced count, and a kitchen pattern that would be wrong if you pasted another city’s name in. That is the test. Use the national guides for the diary itself: opening checks, temperatures, the 4-weekly review, and what an EHO asks to see.

If you run sites in two cities, you still keep a diary per site. A manager in Leeds cannot sign Manchester’s opening checks because they were not in that kitchen. The city page tells you which council and which pack. It does not merge the records. The price is still £5 a week for each kitchen, VAT included, not £5 for the group.

Daily checks for one kitchen. A second city is a second diary.
The city page names the council. It does not merge the records.
