What it is
FoodSafety HQ is digital food-safety software for Australian hospitality businesses, replacing paper logbooks with checks and council-ready records. It supports cafes, restaurants, bistros, food trucks, fast food, QSR, bakeries, aged care, NDIS and childcare. The service runs on Android, iOS and web, and staff can complete checks offline before records sync when connectivity returns. Tools cover temperature monitoring, cleaning records with photo proof, delivery checks, PEAL allergen management, corrective actions, training, supplier and recall registers, pest logs, SDS registers, waste tracking and audit reports. It aligns with the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, including Standards 3.2.2A and 1.2.3. PEAL tools cover all 14 FSANZ allergens on every plan. No probes, sensors, gateways or other hardware are required. Operators can manage multiple venues from one dashboard, compare compliance and assign role-based access. Plans bill monthly, include a 14-day trial and have no lock-in contract. Starter costs A$29 a month for one venue and up to 10 users; Professional is A$49 a month; Enterprise is A$39 a month for at least 10 venues and unlimited users.
