More Than Just a Digital Logbook
PrepDot isn't just about passing inspections. It's an active Kitchen OS designed to protect your stock and win back hours of expensive staff time every single week.
Zero-Friction Workflows
Replace clunky paper diaries with instant, intuitive tablet logs. If a temperature takes more than seconds to log, we consider it a failure. A chef's time is expensive—at less than £2 a day, PrepDot pays for itself instantly compared to an hour of your staff's time.
Predictive Equipment Tracking
We don't just record temperatures; we analyse them. If your walk-in fridge creeps up by half a degree over a week, we flag the early warning sign before the unit completely breaks down, saving you from throwing away thousands of pounds of spoiled stock.
Automated Daily Delegations
Stop chasing staff to complete opening checks. The PrepDot Noticeboard dynamically assigns the right tasks to the right stations, ensuring critical hygiene routines never fall through the cracks during a busy service.
The Framework for a 5-Star Rating.
PrepDot isn't just a to-do list; it helps protect your business by mathematically mapping to the Food Standards Agency's exact Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB) pack. If your team follows the daily prompts and taps the green buttons, you'll build an impenetrable defence.
1 Cross-Contamination
Automated Natasha's Law Allergen Matrix & explicit daily checks for proper Colour-Coded Equipment usage.
2 Cleaning & Hygiene
Mandatory End-of-Day deep cleaning schedules with timestamped, uneditable photo evidence and COSHH compliance logging.
3 Chilling & Storage
AI-powered fridge temp checks, 2-Hour Ambient Cooling logs, and strict daily verification of Day Dots (FIFO) stock rotation.
4 Cooking & Reheating
Core temperature tracking and standalone monthly Probe Calibration tests via boiling/ice water.
5 Confidence in Management (Traceability)
The ultimate EHO score multiplier. PrepDot houses your digital Fitness to Work (Sickness) ledgers, delivery intake inspections, pest control sightings, and 4-weekly management reviews—all with immutable, server-side timestamps that auditors trust.
Complete Regional Legal Compliance
Whether you run a restaurant in England, a pub in Wales, a cafe in Northern Ireland, or a hotel in Scotland. PrepDot automatically adapts its daily checklists to match your local enforcement laws.
Scotland's 82°C Mandate
Scotland requires reheated food to strictly hit 82°C (instead of England's 75°C). PrepDot dynamically adjusts its temperature thresholds based on your venue's postcode during onboarding.
Station-Based UI: Zero Clutter.
PrepDot adapts based on who's logged in and where they are working. A barista only sees 'Front of House' tasks. A chef only sees the Kitchen.
Multiple users can be logged in simultaneously, contributing to the daily compliance log without tripping over each other.
- Faster onboarding for new staff
- No scrolling to find relevant tasks
- Modular setups for Restaurants, Pubs, Cafes & Takeaways
Inspector Mode Active
Operational features locked. Real-time SFBB-formatted evidence ready for review.
The Golden KeyNever Fear the EHO Again.
Digging through fragmented app data when the inspector arrives during lunch rush is intensely stressful.
When the EHO arrives, tap "Inspector Mode." Hand them the tablet. They see a perfectly formatted, read-only dashboard structured exactly how they are trained to review data.
- Perfect FSA SFBB format matching
- Uneditable, immutable audit trails
- Rapid PDF export for remote auditing
The Owner's Edge
Why the world's most disciplined operators choose PrepDot over generic checklist apps.
Digital Audit Trail
PrepDot generates secure, timestamped logs that auditors trust, while remaining flexible for managers to review entries to ensure your records are always accurate
48-Hour Exclusion Logic
Our built-in Sickness Ledger doesn't just log illness; it enforces the mandatory 48-hour exclusion period with manager sign-off.
Integrated Repair Inbox
When staff report a broken fridge in the Kitchen OS, it doesn't just sit in a log; it appears instantly in your Manager Repair Inbox.
Regional Law Compliance
PrepDot adapts its temperature thresholds based on your selected UK region (e.g. Scotland's 82°C reheat mandate) during onboarding.
How PrepDot Compares
