ProCafe is the first thing that actually stuck with my team. Daily checks are right there on their phones every morning, temperatures take seconds, and nothing gets lost between shifts. When the EHO turned up, I had a clean, time-stamped record ready in minutes — not a folder to dig through.

What ProCafe does

The whole operation, end to end.

Five workflows carry a food business through the day. ProCafe runs all of them in one place — this is the day-to-day, not a feature list.

01 · Daily operations

Know what has been done—and what still needs attention.

Open the day and see exactly where it stands. Every opening check, temperature and task is laid out — what's done, what's still outstanding, and anything that needs a corrective action — so your team knows the next thing to do and nothing slips between shifts.

  • Opening checks and temperatures at a glance
  • Outstanding work and corrective actions, flagged
  • Wireless sensors can watch the fridges — alerts open on their own
  • The whole day's completion status in one view

02 · Food safety & traceability

Your records are already organised when someone asks for them.

Every check, reading and corrective action is kept in a tidy, time-stamped history — with allergens, deliveries and batch tracing alongside. Filter by site and date, then export a clean record pack in seconds, for your own files or the moment an inspector asks.

  • The allergen matrix with a published customer-facing version
  • Deliveries checked in at the back door — refusals included
  • Trace a lot back to its delivery and identify menu items that use the ingredient
  • Export as PDF, CSV or XLSX
See inspection readiness

03 · Procedures & staff proof

Pro

Procedures your team has actually signed.

Generate editable drafts from your site's profile, publish the version you approve, and turn it into work — owner-reviewed task suggestions and staff sign-off recorded against that exact version.

  • Editable drafts you review and approve — never auto-published
  • Published versions are immutable; an edit becomes the next version
  • Task suggestions you choose to create — nothing automatic
  • Staff sign-off against the exact version, plus branded PDFs
Explore the Procedure Builder

Starter wording currently follows the FSA's Safe Food, Better Business (SFBB) pack for England and Wales and must be reviewed for your site's jurisdiction.

Nº 04 · Kitchen labels

Pro

Day dots that read exactly right.

Staff pick the product; the label prints with the shelf life you confirmed and a discard date computed on the spot — as PDFs sized for compatible A4 sheets and thermal label printers.

  • Prepared, opened, defrosted and discard-by labels
  • Owner-confirmed shelf lives — never an invented expiry
  • Product-linked labels carry allergen information; lot dates can shorten the discard date
  • An immutable print history — expired labels are never reprinted

Operational labels for your own kitchen — not customer-facing retail labelling.

05 · Team & multi-site

Stop managing the cafe through scattered messages.

Rotas, time-off, handovers and announcements live in one place — and every site keeps its own records, equipment and checks under one login, with a switcher between them.

  • Rota, time-off and handovers in one place
  • Announcements your team actually sees
  • Owner-controlled roles and permissions
  • Per-site records, equipment and inspection exports

Nº 06 · Built for the floor

The cafe does not stop when the Wi-Fi does.

The iPhone app keeps your team logging checks and temperatures in the cold room, the cellar and the dead spot by the walk-in. Work saves on the device and syncs when the connection returns. Android is coming soon.

10 · FAQ

Questions, answered.

01Does it work offline?
Yes. The iPhone app is available now and built offline-first: checks and temperatures save on the device and sync when the connection returns. In the browser, ProCafe needs a connection. Android is coming soon.
02Do I need to buy sensors or special hardware?
No. ProCafe works fully with manual checks. If you want automatic monitoring, connect any wireless sensor provider through our open API — readings are judged against your safe limits, and alerts open and resolve on their own. No proprietary hardware, no lock-in.
03Does it handle more than one site?
Yes — manage and monitor every location from one account, and see each site's health at a glance.
04Does ProCafe support country-specific records?
Yes. ProCafe is built so food-safety packs can be rolled out by country and jurisdiction — including UK and Irish (FSAI-aligned) workflows and the full 14-allergen matrix.
05Can I move over from paper records?
Yes. Set up your checks and schedules once, and your team works from them every day after.
06Can I export records for an inspection?
Yes — a complete, time-stamped record as PDF, CSV or XLSX, whenever you need it.
07What happens if I cancel?
Cancel anytime — there's no long contract or lock-in, and you can export your records before you go.

A better-run cafe starts with a clearer day.
